Ryan Seacrest Put in Headlock By Wheel of Fortune Contestant Who Was a Pro Wrestler
Wheel of Fortune contestant “Big” Bill Page showed off more than his puzzle-solving skills this week.
The former pro wrestler from Wilmington, Del., appeared on the Monday, March 24 episode of the long-running game, where he demonstrated some of his old moves by putting host Ryan Seacrest into a headlock.
Seacrest, 50, asked Page about his “past life” as an athlete, and Page responded by demonstrating the wrestling hold on the host. The headlock came mid-introduction at the top of the show, after Page pointed out his six beloved grandchildren featured on his vibrant Hawaiian shirt for Wheel‘s Chasing Sunsets-themed week.
Seacrest didn’t appear to be in any danger, smiling while in the headlock and jokingly “tapping out” on the wheel.
Page began wrestling as a high school student, and later moved on to wrestle professionally with the East Coast Wrestling Association. In an interview with Wheel of Fortune social media correspondent Maggie Sajak, he provided more details about his wrestling past.
“I did all that, off the top rope, getting slammed, kicked in the head, everything,” he told Sajak, 30. “It was fun and they put me in the hall of the fame.” He went into further detail on his experience on Wheel of Fortune.
Page took home the $24,600 cash prize and a trip to St. Maarten for himself and his wife Lee, who was also present at the taping. After these victories, however, he failed to win the final bonus prize. He selected the “What Are You Wearing?” puzzle category for his Bonus Round, with the letters, “B, C, D, and A.” The final four-word puzzle read “_ A _ R / _ _ / _ _ _ T E / _ L _ _ E S.”
After guessing “HAIR ON WHITE CLIPS” and “HAIR ON WHITE GLASSES,” Wheel of Fortune cohost Vanna White revealed that the correct answer was “PAIR OF WHITE GLOVES.”
Page seemed disappointed when he found out he missed out on a car but ended his run with a dignified handshake.
Wheel of Fortune airs on ABC weeknights at 7 p.m. local time.
