Pan, baseball's the only exception I can think of for a "true" sport. Mark Grace and John Kruk are/were great athletes, but I don't think anyone would ever accuse them of being in fantastic shape at the pinacles of their respective careers.
Beyond that, I don't think that wrestlers are in better shape than most NBA, NFL, MLS or Olympic athletes. Or, for what it's worth, worse shape either. Those other sports are much less forgiving than baseball.
