Kevin Thorn rose to fame in WWE in a vampire-themed role as part of the revamped ECW roster back in 2006. The former star had a short-lived career and was released from the company in 2009 and forced to look for a regular job.

Thorn is currently working in real estate but appeared on "House in a Hurry" on HGTV back in 2020 where he was able to reveal the struggle he had to find employment when he left the business.

"I put 10 plus years of WWE experience on a resume, and I get human resources people calling me, ‘What kind of skill set can we use to hire you?’ I mean I sold being punched in the face like it killed me. You don’t think I can sell copy paper or stuff like that. It got a little old.”

The former star went on to reveal that he worked as a bartender and ran a local bar before meeting several realtors. It was after this that he believed would excel in their world.
