Many professional wrestlers often become so involved with the ring and famous among their fans that their fans scream for them to do just one more fight. Yet the truth is, professional wrestlers can’t last forever in their field. Check out 5 retired wrestlers who are doing regular jobs now.
Maven
Famed for eliminating The Undertaker in the 2002 Royal Rumble event, Maven is one of the popular retired pro wrestlers, who now works as a bouncer at an NYC sports bar. Though he didn’t last long in WWE as expected by many, he was able to develop a strong fan following.
Mideon
The list of retired WWE wrestlers must mention Mideon. Once the master of screams, he is now cooking up delicacies in the kitchen. He has become popular throughout Tampa for his delectable cuisine, which he serves through his catering company.
Ivory
Whenever fans talk about retired wrestlers, Where are they now? is the next thing that comes into their mind. Ivory, though she had a lucrative career in pro wrestling, bid the ring adieu in 2007. Now, she is the owner of a grooming center and a doggie day care center in Friday Harbor, Washington.
Rico
Another name in the list of retired wrestlers has to be Rico. After leaving professional wrestling in 2004, Rico has become an officer in a Nevada taxi company, after having finished his law enforcement training.
