What they look like now: 10 stars from the first Monday Night Raw

#7 Damien Demento

Then: Hailing from “The Outer Reaches of Your Mind”, Damien Demento was a deranged mid-card wrestler who, to quote commentator Rob Bartlett, looked like he got his haircut during a power surge. His big main-event chance came in a losing effort against The Undertaker on Raw’s first episode.

Now: Demento, real name Phillip Theis, is primarily an artist and sculptor, telling the New York Times in 2012 that he “was always an artist who dabbled in wrestling”. The 59-year-old retired from the ring in 1994 but has made appearances on independent shows in recent years.
