Longtime “Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak shared a shocking moment with a contestant.
During Tuesday’s episode, a game show player named Fred revealed he’s a man of many talents, which include being a drama teacher, bar trivia host and a professional wrestler.
Although he admitted he gets paid “very little” to participate in the sport, Fred said he wrestles “for the fun.”
“Wheel of Fortune” showcased the player’s successful puzzle wins for the night on their official YouTube channel during their Hawaiian-themed show.
Sajak made some snarky comments after Fred’s wins, calling him a “brute.”

“Just because he’s a professional wrestler… you want me to body slam him for you?” the game show host asked the other players.
The players responded with a “yes” to Sajak’s question.

Co-host Vanna White revealed the letters for the puzzle – “His mind is wandering.”
After Fred won the bonus round and the host announced he was taking home $75,800, the player appeared emotional with his major “Wheel of Fortune” win.
