It’s not often folks see Ryan Seacrest getting involved in contact sports … right? Well, it seemed like he found himself in a surprising situation on the air — and it’s a moment people can’t stop talking about.
On the March 24 episode of Wheel of Fortune, folks got to meet contestant “Big” Bill Page. When Ryan asked Bill for a fun fact, Bill shared a surprise past career as a former pro wrestler. Naturally, this lead Ryan to inquire if Bill still remembered any moves from back in the day — and it turned out Bill had what he called one “easy” trick in his back pocket.
As Bill got Ryan into a soft headlock, fans were shocked as the TV host played into the unexpected maneuver. At the end of it, Ryan had to playfully tap on the wheel in order to get out of the headlock — and fans were stunned watching the entire ordeal go down on the air.
