My Take

Rinku Singh's career arc is one of the most improbable I've come across. Born in Gopiganj in India's Bhadohi district, he went from a country with almost no baseball culture to a professional baseball player, then reinvented himself entirely as a professional wrestler. His WWE run, under the name Rinku and later as the imposing Veer Mahaan, is what he's best known for now. I respect anyone willing to cross sports and continents like that, betting on raw athleticism over a familiar path. The story behind his baseball entry is the stuff of legend, and watching him recast it into wrestling success makes him hard not to root for.
