10 Superstars Who Ended Up With Surprising Jobs After Wrestling

[@solidsnake4214]

You forgot Jesse Ventura, he became Governor of Minnesota

[@BuckingBadger]

And he was elected while he was with a 3rd party (reform party) member now that's impressive

[@evilwayz702]

Yea that definitely should have been on the list

[@silvergir89]

And hosted a show that dealt with conspiracy theories.

[@fonkspock2920]

And he's a pretty well known Author.

[@JosePereira-ly5fb]

and he's handsome.

[@MickPsyphon]

Andrew Martin (aka Test) actually worked as a bouncer and bartender; a was exceptionally good at both. I know, because I worked and fought alongside him. Great guy! Miss him dearly.

[@RwOverwatch]

Godfather owns a strip club. (Almost makes TOO much sense)

[@hotrockhudson]

Pippin ain't easy

[@TheSavvyYesMan]

'It's time once again for everybody to come aboard the HOOOOOO TRAIN!'

[@pop-tartdepression393]

Where's Randy Savage who turned into a Dragon in Skyrim after wrestling

[@joshr408]

I hear it didn't pay enough so now he's a deathclaw

[@AntSwift]

+Josh R He's turned into a GTA character now

[@silvergir89]

That was a mod and I think Skyrim was released after Savage died.

[@insertname5813]

Then we was fired and was a Deathclaw after that

[@TheAntiSanta]

Randy Savage became Humanity's Savior, when he sacrificed himself to stop the Rapture that Harold Camping had predicted would happen on May 21, 2011 (one day after Randy's Death). Because of Randy Savage's noble sacrifice, there is still time for you to find Jesus. Don't they teach you kids anything in School these days?

[@jordylont1879]

Why didn't Abdullah The Butcher not become an actual butcher? Missed oppertunity..

[@michael42prime15]

You aren't very bright are you? smh

[@jordylont1879]

+Michael42 Prime What's your problem man?

[@JG6Wrestling]

Val Venis is a huge advocate for cannabis and now does a series about it and talks about its benefits, he's now called Kaptain Kannabis. Legit.

[@MacStatic]

Hello ladies :)

[@jevenz_9152]

+Tony Felgueres 😂😂😂

[@scottdaniels8129]

Ya, Val is a libertarian, so is Kane.

[@JG6Wrestling]

You don't get addicted to weed, only to the food you consume afterwards :D

[@yeahyeahjt]

[@thomasgreensmith7354]

sorry assistant vice principal

[@myfinalheaven9590]

Yup, a vice principal (or deputy principal in some countries) in New York

[@huskyswordsman95]

[@joshr408]

I can't tell if that's a joke or real

[@0therworlds]

Nope, firefighter in New York City. I think he was on duty for 9/11 as well.

[@adamcolebaybay6809]

+Josh R It's actually true

[@derepa06]

Couldn't have. He was working for the WWE in 2001. He didn't become a firefighter till 2013.

[@BulletproofRaiden]

It's true, but now he is a reat estate agent. Guess he is a Allrounder...

[@MexicanPotato4lyfe]

Rumour has it, roman reigns was a drug dealer during the 30 day suspension

[@vleaz2266]

He became an Assistant Vice Principal you stupid idiot!

[@Alex_Ortega21]

+Shawn McDonald he was a teacher before he was a principal, you stupid idiot

[@byeguy3552]

+Shawn McDonald ya what he said dumb ass 😅

[@justinthomas4990]

He teaches at a school 15 minutes from me. Actually I heard he's the principal now.

[@LucasIsHereYT]

Tito Santana also became a teacher.

[@TheAtticus19]

Seriously surprised that DDP Yoga wasn't mentioned even once.

[@matthewclawson1938]

jimmy wang yang owns a gas station

[@tylerhall5099]

Idk about that he owns a Wrestling school and started a pest control business in Ohio

[@fleetwoodjak4589]

He owns a ranch too

[@ghostfvce2151]

[@Hellwyck]

...and because of this, you always have your hand.

[@DrunkenCoward1]

"Number Seven. Ashley Massaro" *crosses fingers* Pornstar, pornstar, pornstar. ...Escort? Eh. Next best thing. I've had a crush on Ashley when I was younger, though. She looked a bit like a childhood friend of mine. And I think Ahsley Massaro is where I got my punk-ish fetish from.

[@philipprosin1202]

Me too bro...

[@MrHH611]

I know the feeling man.

[@frankunodostres473]

stupid thing is, there's no footage from her since the WWE/Playboy days. with porn, there would atleast be that :/

[@SpaceViking2000]

Me too. She was my celebrity crush after Lita. I guess this, rather dashing, black fellow has a thing for attractive punk girls... and BOOBS!

[@domfabio8850]

Eww... Ashley really?? Also she was a poser punk...

[@Hamptino]

Roman Reigns went on to become a jobber.

[@1KingCoop]

Best comment i've seen all day

[@RandomKilled]

Awww thats what you think? Having more wins than lost in his records? Such a jobber.

[@1KingCoop]

lol ikr

[@benjaminbeggs5646]

+RandomKilledPlays Just got Jobbed out to Finn.

[@RandomKilled]

Benjamin Beggs and? wanna compare his wins to loses?

[@DarkVariable]

Apparently Scotty 2 Hotty is now a fireman, ironic

[@nickpastorino5370]

Scott Steiner owns and manages a restaurant, and there's actually a funny video on KZbin where a news channel interviewed him for being a witness to a car chase and shootout outside his restaurant. When they interviewed him, they didn't even mention he was a famous wrestler lol.

[@glenndallas7171]

Very surprised that Troy Martin (aka The Franchise Shane Douglas/Dean Douglas) working in the management program at Target wasn't mentioned. And I would say DDP Yoga qualifies, especially when you consider DDP's amazing success stories with Scott Hall and Jake the Snake.

[@sleazecrew8333]

where is the ddp he went from wrestling yoga instructor helping out other wrestlers with health problems.

[@wildside316]

+guinness4life And did good by Scott Hall from what I heard☺

[@bigkev84]

ah good. Yeah. I just mentioned it above.

[@sleazecrew8333]

great minds think alike lol sorry for saying it early.

[@WolfkinNorthclaw]

Didn't he help Jake Roberts and Scott Hall kick their drug problems?

[@sleazecrew8333]

yes it did they did them very seldom and not as often as they were doing it without ddp yoga. i saw both docs on scott hall, and jake roberts.

[@EFIL4NAISREP]

Rico is one of the nicest guys I've met. Met him outside Staples Center in 2004 after a ppv. We spent 20 minutes just chatting and he even invited us to go out with him for dinner.

[@imnobody1906]

Sorry but Damn Chris nowinski should easily be number one there whether it's by merits or not. He's literally saving lives and changed peoples perception of Benoit from a cold blooded murderer to someone who was legitimately mentally ill. That is beyond incredible and the man should be on the top of every list, be applauded every day and should be in the wwe hall of fame without question. Cte is now actually looked at progressively in people who have had head trauma be it once or multiple times and it's mostly due to nowinskis research and institute. Maybe I'm more grateful and see it differently than others because it's under investigation as to whether my epilepsy is due to me suffering from cte due to my mma career and hitting my head when I broke my head but that doesn't matter.

[@MrGrinderman13]

I had the pleasure of meeting Rico once. he was the one of the nicest people I've ever met. glad he's doing well

[@Shettewok]

Muhammad Hassan is my vice principal at my school in Fulton ny

[@jamieslauenwhite3440]

lol bs

[@Shettewok]

+Jamie Slauenwhite dead serious

[@gridly10]

+Jamie Slauenwhite no it's true he really is a vice principal

[@WolfkinNorthclaw]

I really liked that guys character, he was such a fantastic heel, and a good wrestler to boot. Real shame what happened the timing really sucked, if they did that with him now he'd be a top tier star for certain.

[@slayer-22]

ShettewokProductions Try and get an interview with him.

[@GodsBurden]

I'm shocked Stevie Richards isn't on this list, he does several podcasts about tech under his real name and is a teacher at the Connecticut school of broadcasting. He also ran a tech firm for a while. There's also daivari who not not only wrestles still, but made websites for other wrestlers

[@mikeclark3223]

Kane sells insurance and now he's running for mayor of his hometown.

[@blind_t2]

Mike Clark now is, mayor

[@MarinaOatmeal]

Mero came back to the high school he had grown from to give one of his speeches to myself and the rest of my class, he truly is one of the most wonderful men I've ever met.

[@logankerr8090]

Abdullah the Butcher USED TO run a restaurant

[@logankerr8090]

i don't know if you heard, but it closed down

[@RainmakerXBooty]

Yeah it just closed down a week or 2 ago

[@andrewwilson5686]

+logan kerr damn, I spent all these years saying "Im gonna go, Im gonna go. I'm always in Atlanta ". wow.... missed opportunity on my end. 100 Sad Eugene faces

[@tojs2394]

[@timdurgan]

When Simon is WWE champion, I hope WWE release a video on the network saying "10 Superstars who had surprising jobs before wrestling" and crown him as #1. What a glorious day that would be.

[@PhilTalksSports]

Scotty 2 hotty is a firefighter in Tampa. Nunzio works in the court system of New York.

[@TheeKingRayzor]

This is inspiring, knowing that you can find success outside of WWE or wrestling period. You may not have the big money, but the two most important things is that your happy, and your doing well on your own.

[@michaelkrohn5001]

Perry Saturn lives in mason city Iowa. He is a bouncer at a bar and also is a tattoo artist. I met him at the bar a couple years back.

[@helltoupee6664]

This was amazingly tasteful.. Good job, WC!! Chyna absolutely deserves our respect . RIP

[@TheSkyatollah]

I'd eat at Abdullah's Restaurant, but I don't want to get Hep C.

[@truediva18]

Maven also was on the Home Shopping Network, Chyna was an ESL teacher in Japan, Victoria had a restaurant in Chicago and motorcycle shop in Kentucky.

[@Mashmarriner69]

How was there no mention of Buff Bagwell?

[@daphneloose5880]

Maven was a high school teacher in Portland, Oregon before becoming a wrestler. Mickie James still wrestles. she works for Global Force Wrestling with her husband Magnus.

[@rtubbs77]

El Generico went on to start an orphanage in Mexico

[@skraddypoo]

Perry Saturn sold doors for a while post-wrestling, from what I hear. Did pretty well, too! Good for him!

[@TVindustries5000]

abdullahs resturant is closed down now. possibly from the HepC lawsuit which he lost.

[@filmstreet.cinema]

he was my substitute teacher when I was in high school. it was between the ecw wwf runs

[@genericgamingcommentator8236]

[@andrewrunagall]

I remember reading somewhere recently that Paul Birchill (former tag team partner to William Regal and former pirate) had become a fireman in the USA, he completely turned his back on wrestling.

[@AntSwift]

I bet that Bingley will die in this video, because of Sunny's Tatty-Bo-Jangles

[@AntSwift]

Shit, instead it was Chyna

[@MikeBingo1]

+AnT Swift China was in English teacher in later life, but nope they went down the back door to China route

[@evrbody]

I made Bingley sad when Mickie James showed up.

[@Phoenix7786]

[@ThePalerider12]

Jesse Ventura was a pro wrestler for the WWF and was inducted into the wrestling hall of fame in 2004. After wrestling he became an actor with rolls in big films like the running man and the predator. He then later ended up becoming the 38th governor of Minnesota for 4 years. Why he isn't on this list and a freaking bouncer is, I have no idea.

[@drummy747]

Mason Ryan tours now with Cirque Du Soleil

[@MUFCJ0RD]

Im amazed this was not on the list

[@khan3550]

Scotty 2 Hotty works as a firefighter and Spike Dudley is a financial planner nowadays

What about the fact that Snitsky sells pressure cookers on QVC.

[@daphneloose5880]

LOL. LOL. LOL.

[@tojs2394]

That CM Punk fella became a Comic book writer for Marvel. And is a undefeated UFC fighter. Can't top that.

[@sacredauto44]

Not even looked at it and Know Jesse Ventura is going to be here.

[@sacredauto44]

Goddamn he isn't

[@mikemcq10]

Should be #1. Just slightly ahead of Maven.

[@Dantinus]

He was a Governor, a Navy SEAL, a Fighter. He knows things that will blow your mind!

And an actor. And a really good one, too.

[@BobLoomerhead]

Muhammad Hassan is a high school vice principal in Central NY

[@chayden153]

Robert Smith Seriously?! That is fucking awesome

[@BobLoomerhead]

Absolutely, seems happy and is well respected

[@paulrobison2366]

Sting is a part time pastor. Lex Luger is a motivational speaker. Goldberg hosts car shows and Garage Mahal. Steve Austin hosts a reality competition show.

[@lalosrizo8129]

even if Ashley was an escort it doesn't automatically mean she was a prostitute most escorts simply just go on dates mostly with wealthy guys at high profile events it doesn't always mean it's automatically sexual ugh I wish as society as a whole would grow up a lil n stop being so uptight n judgemental about sex relax people it's really not that big a fuckin deal

[@familyhollenbaugh8714]

This one surprises me the most Jeff Farmer (Fake Sting). Jeff Farmer is project manager of a research program known as GEAR (Genetics, Exercise, and Research) at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. The program aims to identify how "people's genetic background influences their response to physical activity

[@rcharles317]

[@Njbear7453]

I'm actually happy for Batista , he's been in some big budget films (spectre, guardians of the Galaxy) and he's gonna be in the blade runner sequel and also guardians 2. He's making BANK.

[@BobLoomerhead]

[@ama-ri_vox]

[@markuzthe0ne]

Jesse, Luke Gallows former tag team partner, is a police officer much like Rico. Imagine a buddy cop show about 2 former pro wrestler's running around and suplexing bad guys... that be amazing.

[@m11cfcq]

i guess u could say marc mero was disabled

[@jeffhardies9453]

Sonny Oono (Ultimo Dragon's manager in WCW) owns a used car dealership about half an hour from where I live. And Perry Saturn works in a factory in my town, and still wrestles from time to time.

[@fko3885]

well... i don't want to talk about Sunny because Bingley. But, yeah. Not wrestling.

[@Cybeldar]

Like for the Bingley reference. Poor little guy.

[@Giveitagoog]

TBF its a kind of wrestling.

[@doug_b330]

5:35 - It was 2004, not 2003. It was a Survivor Series stipulation that whoever won the traditional SS match, the individual team members would run RAW that night for the next month. Maven, Chris Benoit, Randy Orton and Chris Jericho in that order. They could do whatever matches were on the card that night, and Maven gave himself a main event World title match against Triple H that night.

[@draevyn]

Ray Lloyd (Glacier) works at Full Sail but used to work at a large Toyota dealership with none other than Tonga.

[@thunderdan4058]

This was one of the best videos I 've seen so far on this channel.

[@nolanlortz4290]

The Ken Shamrock one surprised me but now that I think about it, it makes perfect sense

[@NathanArnoldCharging]

He wasn't a 'superstar', but iconic referee Tim White, owned a bar after he retired, and is now back in WWE doing coordinations work. Anyone who's a fan and attends Meet & Greets, might notice Tim standing off to the side watching over the process.

[@TheBanisher24]

I met Marc Mero at my High School my sophomore year. His speech made the whole auditorium cry man.

[@PorkChopGospel]

The Butcher's restaurant is really good. I had the pleasure of checking it out and was treated like a king and fed like an emperor.

[@mryagami8448]

Marc Mero came to my school and I agree with Simon he's an amazing speaker and a great guy.

[@favrerules04]

Chris Benoit became a missionary.

[@mixey01]

Chris " The Masterpiece" Masters became a painting

[@victoriacotton9017]

Chyna was also a chellist. She was musically gifted and a published author. She had the "IT" factor. I miss her very much.

[@SolidSonicTH]

I heard Spike Dudley became an insurance adjuster but he still shows up on the indie circuit periodically too. Also I thought Maven became a Home Shopping Network host or something. I seem to remember that being a thing.

[@michaelschrader4536]

After leaving WWE, Medusa Micheli became a monster truck racer. Pretty good one too.

[@keithtaylor4917]

I think rico was a cop before wrestling too. I think they even had something on WWE Confidential (oi that thing there) where he was interviewed along with some guy he saved. (correct if wrong)

[@stewartsnape110]

Interesting videos it's nice to see the old wrestlers again and see the where are they now thing

[@distemic]

I met rico while he was still with the wwe. one of the nicest people anyone could ever meet

[@blackgallgher8747]

Rico also competed (and won!) on an episode of American Gladiators back in the day

[@mikemcq10]

Jesse Ventura should be #1, just slightly ahead of Maven. Also, Chyna as an ESL teacher in Japan, Ultimate Warrior as a comic book artist, and Eric Bischoff as a beer brewer (yeah he didn't wrestle, so what). DDP deserves a spot, but a wrestler making fitness videos isn't much of a stretch.

[@bo0chie9]

It's funny that you mention maven. Prior to knowing about mentioning and not mentioning his past, a few friends and I mentioned it. He doesn't care if you acknowledge.. It's the questions and the drunk people who approach him. All around he's a cool dude... He's at 1015 midtown on 2nd ave.

[@lukas187x]

Ray Gordy (The son of the late Terry Gordy, and wrestled as Jesse and Slam Master J during his brief stint in WWE) is now a police officer in Atlanta, Georgia.
