Rodman, a five-time NBA champion with the Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls, also had a brief career in professional wrestling, competing in four matches—three of them in World Championship Wrestling (WCW), News.Az reports, citing ESPN.
He made his WCW debut in 1997 and gained widespread attention in 1998 when he skipped an NBA Finals practice to appear on “WCW Monday Nitro.” During that appearance, he set up a tag team match alongside Hulk Hogan against Diamond Dallas Page and Karl Malone.
