Kane Does Politics
Kane, whose real name is Glenn Jacobs, was a huge hit in the WWE – no pun intended. In fact, execs in Hollywood were so impressed with him that he’s appeared in several movies and TV shows, such as the killer role he played in See No Evil. But now, Kane is out there trying his hand at something new: politics.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Kane is well-known for his libertarian values. After all, he’s been involved with “the cause” for a while now. But in May of 2018, he seriously kicked things up a notch when he won the primary election for Knox County Mayor in Tennessee. He continued on in the election and ended up winning the seat, overall, and has been acting Mayor of Knoxville ever since.
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.
Call Bret Hart if You Need Loans
Bret “Hitman” Hart, was an animal in the ring, during his time with the WWE. He took home the WWF World Heavyweight Championship five times, along with the title of Triple Crown Champion. He’s dabbled in television throughout the years, guest starring in such shows as The Simpsons.
But after a series of health problems, including a stroke that he suffered from as a result of an accident, and a prostate cancer diagnosis, he was forced to retire from his beloved sport. Fortunately, he was found free of cancer in 2016 but decided to move into a more stable position for his family. He operates a business loan company that he’s dubbed Sharpshooter Funding.
Paul Burchill: Firefighter
When Burchill first hit the scene, fans really seemed to like him. But things never really did pan out for him in the WWE. It seems as though there was somewhat of an identity crisis in finding out how to play this character that suited him, but unfortunately, he never found his true identity in the ring. In fact, officials brought in on-stage sister Katie Lea to see if she might be able to successfully partner up with him, but that failed, too.
Finally, Burchill threw in the towel and left the ring for good in 2010. After he retired, Burchill decided to try his hand at fighting fires and saving lives. He got a degree in nursing science before becoming a firefighter in his home state of Kentucky where he lives with his wife and three boys. Check out how this former Diva Champion capitalized on her triple-threat status.
