New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski recently did an interview with Cageside Seats, a wrestling blog, to promote a new Nickelodeon show called Crashletes.

Most of the interview centered around Gronkowski’s friendship with WWE NXT star Mojo Rawley.

However, one question focused on who held the distinction of being Gronkowski’s favorite all-time wrestler.

Gronkowski answered Val Venis as his favorite wrestler ever. There have been thousands upon thousands upon thousands of professional wrestlers.

Of course, Gronkowski is drawn to the dude that is modeled after being a male adult film star.

For the unaware, Venis wrestled with the WWE from 1998 to 2009. His gimmick as a porn star drew positive reactions from fans and fit right in with the WWE’s famous “Attitude Era” from ’98 to ’02.

If you remember, Gronkowski took a photo with pornstar Bibi Jones a few years ago, while she sported a Gronk jersey.

Somehow, Gronk’s preference in wrestlers all makes perfect sense.
