  • Lou Albano (went vegetarian late in life). (Source is Dec. 3, 2012 Wrestling Observer Newsletter.)
  • CM Punk (possibly vegan for some part of 2012 according to the March 26, 2012 Wrestling Observer Newsletter, though he’s depicted as pescatarian at that time in this Chicago Tribune interview, via a non-exact quote). Twitter. Also, even though he’s been recently described as a “longtime vegan”, it’s unlikely to be true. (Meatless Rib is happy to be corrected on that, though!) However, the above 2012 period is arguably during his peak in WWE when he become a (modern) record-setting WWE Champion. And he wrote a glowing foreword this vegan cookbook! He and Daniel Bryan stopped their vegan diets at the same time due to difficulties maintaining the diet on a WWE travel schedule at the time.
