Tim Wiese (German pronunciation:[tɪmˈviːzə]; born 17 December 1981) is a German former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Having progressed through the youth teams at DJK Dürscheid and Bayer Leverkusen, Wiese started his professional career at Fortuna Köln, and went on to play for 1. FC Kaiserslautern and Werder Bremen before signing for 1899 Hoffenheim in 2012.[2]
Wiese made 13 appearances for the German under-21 squad between 2003 and 2005, before making his full international debut three years later against England. He went on to win five further caps[3] and was part of the German 2010 FIFA World Cup squad, but did not make an appearance in that tournament.
Following Wiese's retirement from football in 2014, he gained a significant amount of muscle mass and was subsequently linked to a career in professional wrestling, eventually having a match in WWE in 2016.[4][5]
