5 WWE Superstars who did regular jobs after retirement

Former WWE commentator and current All Elite Wrestling employee Jim Ross is widely regarded as being one of the most sound minds in the history of professional wrestling. He had an incredible career in WWE and has bagged a lucrative deal with AEW.

He has often suggested that budding superstars finish off their education before fully devoting their time to professional wrestling.

Pro-wrestling is an incredibly demanding sport where one has WAY more chances of failing than becoming a household name. For every John Cena, there are thousands of hopeful wrestlers who fade into obscurity.

And then there are some wrestlers who go on to become WWE Superstars and achieve worldwide fame, but reprise their roles as regular members of the society after their retirement. In this list, we'll take a look at 5 WWE Superstars who took regular jobs after retirement.

#5 Spike Dudley became a financial planner

Spike Dudley

During ECW's heyday, Spike Dudley became one of the most loved Superstars among the promotion's hardcore fanbase. He made his debut in a tag team match alongside Bubba Ray Dudley, defeating GQ Gorgeous and Pat Day.

When ECW folded in 2001, Spike was hired by WWE. A phone call from Jim Ross led to Spike debuting in WWE to help Bubba and D-Von win the World Tag Team Titles. He went on to defeat Rey Mysterio to win his only WWE Cruiserweight Title.

Spike was released from WWE in 2005, after which he operated a wrestling school for a short period of time.

It’s kind of like getting kicked out of your family. When that call came, it was a blow to the stomach.

Spike Dudley took on a job with MassMutual, a financial planning company, to help people plan their future out.

You hear stories all the time of athletes that made millions being broke. I want to become an educator, to show people there are ways to plan for the future.

Despite his tiny stature, Spike was one of the most exciting talents to watch. He was hardcore through and through and was a perfect fit for the Dudley family.

Bubba Ray and D-Von went on to have a celebrated WWE career, whereas Spike faded into oblivion.

The next time someone sets a table on fire, be sure to remember Spike Dudley.

#4 Scotty 2 Hotty became a fireman

Scotty 2 Hotty

Although he never managed to break out of the mid-card, Scotty 2 Hotty was one of the most popular babyfaces in WWE at one time.

The trio of Rikishi, Scotty 2 Hotty, and Grand Master Sexay were incredibly well received by the WWE Universe during the early 2000s, and their dance off in the middle of the Royal Rumble match in 2000 has gone on to become an iconic moment.

He also bagged the WWE Tag Team Titles along with Rikishi in 2004, and successfully defended the same at WrestleMania 20. Hotty was released from WWE in 2007, after primarily wrestling on WWE Velocity for a brief period of time.

In February 2013, he began training as a firefighter. In June 2013, he graduated from Lake Tech Fire Academy in Florida and became a certified fireman. Later, he also kicked off his training as an emergency medical technician.

Despite having limited championship gold to show for his exploits with the company, Scotty was indeed a firecracker in the ring. He was at the forefront of the 'Too Cool' faction and had many memorable bouts during the attitude era.

He currently works as a trainer at WWE's performance center.

#3 Vickie Guerrero became a Medical Office Administrator

After Eddie Guerrero passed away at the age of 37, Vickie's world came crumbling down. Thankfully, she bagged a job with WWE and began appearing alongside the likes of Chavo Guerrero and Rey Mysterio.

She soon turned heel and went on to manage Superstars like Edge and Dolph Ziggler. Guerrero also played the part of the General Manager of both Raw and SmackDown during her WWE stint.

I AM OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED AS A MEDICAL OFFICE ADMINISTRATOR! #empowered

— Vickie Guerrero (@VickieGuerrero) August 28, 2015

Guerrero left WWE in 2014 and began pursuing a career in medical administration. She lost a pudding match against Stephanie McMahon on an episode of Monday Night Raw but managed to throw Stephanie into the mud too. While leaving, she performed Eddie's signature taunt on the stage, turning babyface for the first time in 7 years.

The following year, she announced on her official Twitter handle that she is officially certified as a Medical Office Administrator.

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Vicky Guerrero can proudly say that she is a self-made individual. Vicky managed to move away from Eddie's shadow and carve a path for herself as one of WWE's most memorable general managers.

#2 Rico became a Security Officer

The charismatic Superstar debuted in early 2002, as a stylist to the heel duo of Billy & Chuck. Soon, he made his in-ring debut in a 6-man tag team match by teaming up with Billy & Chuck, against Al Snow, Maven, and Rikishi in a winning effort.

He later switched to Monday Night Raw, becoming the manager of 3-Minute Warning, a heel tag team consisting of Rosey and Jamal. Rico was released by WWE in 2004.

Almost a year after his WWE release, Rico finished his law enforcement training in Nevada. He later bagged the job of a Sergeant Inspector for the Nevada Taxi Cab Authority. The job saw Rico lead a squad of 10 officers on a graveyard shift in Clark County.

If anything happens with a cab, I’m involved.

Rico will always be remembered for his 'over the top' and outlandish gimmicks which often witnessed him flaunting exotico style dresses. He would use unorthodox methods to win matches, much to his opponent's surprise and disgust.

#1 Haku became a car wash director

Haku

Whenever one talks of the most feared and genuinely scary professional wrestlers of all time, Haku's name always comes near the top. Over the course of the past several years, a string of wrestlers have told backstage stories of Haku putting down anyone who came in his way.

Although a usually calm and composed guy, Haku wasn't one to spare someone who tried to act tough with him. He held the WWE Tag Team Titles with Andre The Giant on one occasion during his WWE stint. He also wrestled in WCW as Meng and was the final WCW Hardcore Champion before the promotion was bought off by Vince McMahon in 2001.

Bobby Heenan in an interview said that there were only two men that Andre The Giant feared. One was Harley Race and the other was Haku. Such was the latter's toughness.

Years after his WWE retirement, Haku began working for a car wash company named David Maus Car Spa. Working as Car Spa Director, Haku can be seen in the above video, promoting the service.
