Retired Wrestlers Who Are Completely Unrecognizable Now

They were Beauty Giants and sometimes porn stars in the ring, but when these wrestling stars

retired

, they left their characters behind and today I didn't even recognize them from 2006 to 2011. WWE fans knew very well to the Russian thug Vladimir Klo. as a super stoic monster, he then evolved into a crazy, fun-loving big man, prone to dancing tea parties and playing invisible trombones with his partner, the equally crazy Santino Morella, since leaving the ring, Klov, whose real name is Oleg protus, he has slimmed down his body but strengthened his muscles, he has also grown a big bushy beard that looks a bit like Hugh Jackman for those of you wondering why he would spend his retirement getting in better shape than while he struggled, the answer is that he is now seeking to achieve it. in Hollywood as an action movie star in that regard, he is making good progress appearing in popular action franchises like John Wick and Fast and Furious as a stuntman and actor Even before his WWE debut, he appeared in a small role in the cable and has since acted in TV shows and movies like Burn Notice and the Chinese Mega SM Wolf Warrior 2.

He even founded a production company in 2014 called Quazar Entertainment where he currently serves as vice president and now Jackman is done with Wolverine. It seems out of the question to see him join a major team like the X-Men in the future, whether between WCW and WWF. Deborah Machell was an undisputed pioneer like Medusa and WCW, she showed that women could look beautiful and fight with the same strength. as men like lundra blaze, she headlined the new WWF Women's Division and gave us classic matches with ja Apes Sensations like the bull Nano aak Kong Luna vashan and monster river, but after rejoining WCW in 1995 and throwing away the Championship belt WWF women to the trash live.

He often ended his bouts by stretching the opponent inside him. an inch of his life or letting them fall on his head, depending on what felt more right at the time. His trademark amateur wrestling headgear that he often wore loose and without straps made him a memorable character long after he

retired

from full-time competition in 2008.

Since then, Steiner has become a surprisingly normal guy, still He has his goatee, but his hair is short and his hat is probably in his garage somewhere. Furthermore, he now lives a fairly standard everyday life, even less recognizable with the suits. He dresses for work, runs a successful real estate company in Georgia and served on the Cherokee County School Board for a time. Probably the only way you'd recognize him in public is if he barked at you, but it seems for his own good and ours. that habit was left behind the total package Lex Luger had one of the most impressive physiques in the history of wrestling in the WWF they called him the narcissist because his body was so perfect that he couldn't stop looking at himself sadly his career came to an end His end in 2007 when he suffered a spinal injury that left him paralyzed from the neck down, he has notably since regained feeling in his body and can even walk with a cane, all of his muscle mass gone where he once had 275 pounds of solid strength. , now weighs approximately 185 pounds. he explained to the Atlanta Journal Constitution in 2008.

Luger became a born again Christian in the early 2000's since the injury, he has been focusing on his faith, his family and rebuilding his life outside of wrestling, luckily as the story goes he had saved me for a year and a half and God comforted me in that room while his wrestling days may be over. his mental strength appears to be higher than late 90s WWF fans will ever remember.

Awesome Kong was a giant who could take on any Challenger, male or female. Her brief career in WWE as Karma was cut short by a pregnancy that very sadly ended with the death of her baby and since then she has worked part-time in wrestling since she runs WWE and TNA. Kong, whose real name is Kia Stevens, has become a totally different person. She doesn't wrestle much anymore, but she played a wrestler on television starting in 2017. Stevens played the character Tay. The now-Netflix series shines and she told TV Guide that she could relate a lot to her character.

EST was forced to adopt Persona Welfare Queen by her on-screen representatives and Stevens herself was saddled with a character she initially disliked as Black Woman, the name Kong being an incredibly racially insensitive title that ultimately He accepted because Persona was a great opportunity, he explained. I think Tay would identify with what I did, she would take that name, she wouldwould possess and make him mean something to respect if he ever returns to wrestling full time, he will surely have as much respect as when he left.
