Wheel of Fortune contestants never cease to amaze people with their problem-solving abilities and sometimes quirky personalities. Recently, Bill Page, a former professional wrestler from Delaware, decided to give Ryan Seacrest the shock of his life by putting him in a headlock. Maggie Sajak, former host Pat Sajak’s daughter, spoke with Bill after the show about his unexpected start of the game. Bill said he hadn’t really planned to put Ryan in a headlock, but before he knew it, they had a plan.

“I wasn’t sure. I said I did pro wrestling. And they said, ‘What kind of moves can you put on Ryan?'” Bill joked. “I said, ‘I guess the easiest one would be a headlock.'”
The “Wheel Of Fortune” Host Didn’t Quite Know What Hit Him
Bill got Ryan pretty good—all in fun, of course. After all the playing around, when it was time to get to the game, Bill played great. Maggie shared on Instagram, “Putting Ryan in a headlock, wearing a shirt with your grandkids’ faces on it, and solving your way to victory? All in a day’s work at Wheel Of Fortune.”
Ryan Seacrest certainly brought a new flavor to the show when he started as host in 2024. Fans really like him, and he seems to vibe well with Vanna White. Of course, the banter with Wheel of Fortune contestants is a fan favorite, and the headlock bit was no different.
A viewer shared, “Good job!!! I like hearing about the contestants.”
This person agreed, “Nice to see that you interviewed Bill and not because he won the bonus round. The headlock was the highlight of the show. Post-show hostess was a nice bonus to see again.”
Plenty of people loved seeing Ryan as such a great sport. “This was the best show! Big Bill had fun with Ryan.”
