Enjoy your wrestler.

Only reason I'm human is for the feat at 1st level and to get my strength to 18 at fourth. Barbarian for unarmed defense to be a true wrestler.

I always felt like professional wrestlers should be Barbarian/Bards or Fighter/Bards. Give them Athletics, Acrobatics, Intimidation, and Performance. If you're Randy Savage, you get Slight of Hand (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8C4lK41SX-Q).

Jake Roberts would be a Beastmaster Ranger/Bard.

if i had to pick a wrestler to be a rogue, i'd go with eddie guerrero.

Undertaker as a warlock? Fiend patron, pact of the blade (unarmed strike)?

[Caelic]

Taking it one step further up the chain, at fourth level the feat choice should be Tavern Brawler, to give you the d4 proficient unarmed strike, proficiency in improvised weapons (like steel chairs,) and the ability to initiate a grapple as a bonus action after punching the opponent.

Now, the Ultimate Warrior was a straight-up berserker barbarian.

well, yeah, tavern brawler is implied.
