Teal's brother Colt Toombs is an MMA fighter, although he failed to make an impact on the MMA scene, and lost his only match in a professional capacity. Toombs competed in the Featherweight class and lost a fight to Art Becerra at the TPF 3 - Champions Collide event on February 4, 2010.

Before making his way to the big leagues, Toombs wrestled a bunch of fights as an amateur performer. He was impressive during this stint, as he went on to win four consecutive bouts over the course of two years, back in 2008-09. Toombs gave an interview earlier this year, where he talked about wanting to be financially secure and giving his family the best life possible.

WrestleMania I.

The main event of the night saw Hulk Hogan team up with Mr. T to take on the dastardly duo of Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff. The match, although far from a masterpiece, was incredibly well received and laid the foundation for future WrestleMania main events. The extravagant encounter saw legendary boxer Muhammad Ali play the part of a referee, albeit in a ringside role.

Years later, Teal Piper shared a bunch of photos on her official Instagram account with none other than Hogan's daughter, Brooke Hogan. The two seem to share a strong bond, if their pictures are any indication. Teal even went on to post a hilarious fan meme featuring herself and Brooke, which stated that if Hogan and Piper's daughters can get along in 2016, the rest of the world has no excuse.
