10 Careers taken up by Wrestlers after retiring

#5 Mick Foley

Not just another wrestling legend

Mick Foley is one of the toughest wrestlers to have ever stepped into a ring. Even though he didn’t have the physique most wrestlers today have, he had the in-ring abilities only a few possessed. This led him to become a legend in his own right.

While Foley still makes periodic appearances in the WWE, he has tried his hands at becoming a stand-up comedian, something that he loves. In addition to that, he is a very active writer and has written multiple autobiographies and memoirs. However, his claim to fame outside the ring has come from writing children’s books. A few of his books have even won awards.
