Batista: From the Ring to the Silver Screen
This face may look a little familiar, and not just because he was successful within the WWE, but also because he went on to guard the entire galaxy. Dave Bautista, dubbed Batista during his stint with the WWE, rose to fame when he filled the role of Drax in Guardians of The Galaxy and Avengers: Infinity War.
Producers knew that Batista would play a perfect Drax, due to his large stature and ability to terrify most anyone that approaches him. Bautista has discovered new happiness in film, and he’s made the decision to focus his efforts in that arena and cut ties with wrestling. Now, he’s got a large fanbase that includes people who adore him for both his wrestling and his acting!
Gene Snitsky Turns to Acting
It may be kind of hard to imagine Snitsky playing any other role than…well, Snitsky. After all, Gene Snitsky (which is actually his real name,) rose to fame in the WWE by kicking baby dolls into the audience. That seems like the kind of thing that would put a typecast stamp on someone, doesn’t it? But apparently, Snitsky now plays all kinds of roles!
Well actually, he seems to prefer such horror films as Zombie Death Camp and Bikini Girls Vs. The Surf Wolf. He’s also done some work with television shows like ABC’s What Would You Do? Snitsky got his foot in the door with acting while he was still participating with the WWE, and he just announced his retirement in 2018.
Cameron Becomes an Actress
In 2011, Cameron hit the ring as a developmental wrestler under WWE’s wings. Although she spent a few strong years with them, she never really made it to the top of the game, and she was ultimately released from her contract in 2016.
After her departure from the WWE, she made a couple of appearances on other wrestling shows, such as her short return to NXT. Cameron went on to try her hand at acting on television, but never quite made her mark in that industry, either.
Haku’s Handy with Cars
Tonga 'Uli'uli Fifita is most well-known for his long-time status as Haku in the ring. During his time in the world of wrestling, Haku was feared greatly – no one wanted to take him on. But these days, Haku is living a little differently, and something tells us that his name no longer strikes fear into the hearts of his enemies. Why? Well, Haku spends his days now working on cars, in a dealership in Florida.
Haku may have found his love of cars when he was gifted a Ford by his nephew, The Rock. After retiring from wrestling, Haku opened up a car detailing shop where he uses his hands to repair and upgrade automobiles, rather than try and crush people to death. However, we’d sure hate to see how he handles a client that gets on his bad side.
Eve Torres: Jane of All Trades
Torres made a huge stir when she hit the WWE scene in May of 2007. The bombshell Diva ended up bringing home the Championship three times, and along the way, Torres gathered quite the fanbase. Before beginning her wrestling career, she worked as a professional dancer for the LA Clippers and the SoCal Summer Pro League.
Nowadays, the multi-talented beauty is devoting her efforts into helping other people have a good time. Torres, along with her sister-in-law, launched an event planning company that they called “InJoy the Party.” The ladies plan a wide range of events, and apparently, they have a wonderful track record.
