Wait Until You See What These 40 Wrestlers Did After Leaving The Ring

A man of many names, Triple H dominated WWE’s “Attitude” era as a solo wrestler and a member of supergroup D-Generation X. And the one-time heavyweight champion has been just as pivotal to the WWE since he hung up his wrestling boots. In fact, Triple H now serves as the executive vice president of global talent strategy and development for the organization. The man otherwise known as Paul Michael Levesque also set up the WWE Performance Center, which now serves as a talent-nurturing platform for wannabe pro wrestlers.

Jake Roberts struck fear into the hearts of his fellow wrestlers and audiences alike — thanks to his penchant for entering the ring with snakes. But sadly, seemingly like many of his peers, the star also battled with substance abuse issues. His attempt to get clean was later documented in the 2015 movie The Resurrection of Jake the Snake. He currently shows up in All Elite Wrestling as Lance Archer’s manager.

Mick Foley was a master of the tag-team championships. In fact, the star won no less than 11 during his illustrious career across various wrestling organizations. And the man previously known as Dude Love, Cactus Jack, and Mankind has since proved that he has the brains to go with his brawn. Yup, Foley’s penned several bestselling autobiographies and has acted in films including Dixieland, Anamorph, and Big Money Hustlas. He also made a WWE comeback in 2018. These days he’s a company ambassador.

One of the most charismatic wrestlers of his generation, Shawn Michaels shot to fame in the WWE as a member of The Rockers tag team before achieving considerable solo success. Following his 2011 “retirement,” the Heartbreak Kid served as a commentator, referee, and WWE ambassador. He also showcased his passion for the outdoors as the star of TV series Shawn Michaels’ MacMillan River Adventures. But then in late 2018, Michaels actually returned to the WWE for one last in-ring act.
