After the 1994 Winter Olympics, Minton competed as a professional wrestler in the WCW under the name of "Mr. World Class" Chip Minton. He feuded with Chris Adams in 1998, primarily over the use of the nickname "World Class", which Adams felt was a potshot to his earlier days in World Class Championship Wrestling. Minton competed through the late 1990s.

Famous quotes containing the words professional and/or wrestling:
“I sometimes wonder whether, in the still, sleepless hours of the night, the consciences of ... professional gossips do not stalk them. I myself believe in a final reckoning, when we shall be held accountable for our misdeeds. Do they? If so, they have cause to worry over many scoops that brought them a day’s dubious laurels and perhaps destroyed someone’s peace forever.”
—Mary Pickford (1893–1979)
“There are people who think that wrestling is an ignoble sport. Wrestling is not sport, it is a spectacle, and it is no more ignoble to attend a wrestled performance of suffering than a performance of the sorrows of Arnolphe or Andromaque.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
