Where are these WWE Superstars now?

In recent weeks, wrestling fans got an unexpected update on a former WWE superstar when Scott Steiner’s name popped up in the news. In a truly strange story, he just happened to be a witness to an attempted murder but was identified as a “local business owner” because he owns a Shoney’s restaurant in Acworth, Georgia, which is near Atlanta.

For many fans, this would lead us to wonder where other former superstars might have wound up, and here are five stories that just might intrigue you.

Rick Steiner

Rick Steiner starred in both WWF and WCW in the 1990s.

What better person to start with than Scott Steiner’s brother, Rick Steiner? The duo worked in both WWF and WCW during the 1990s, racking up more than a dozen tag title victories across the globe and even winning some singles gold.

These days, Rick – real name Robert Rechsteiner – is in one of the last positions you’d expect for the “Dog-faced Gremlin” as he was elected to serve on the Cherokee County school board in Canton, Georgia. He even got in a bit of trouble for trying to use his Steiner name in qualifying for the election, but who could really blame him?

Val Venis

Val Venis’ character is one that could perhaps have only existed during the Attitude Era.

Val Venis had one of the most adult-themed characters of the WWE’s Attitude Era, a thinly-veiled – if veiled at all – attempt at a male adult film star. His “hello ladies” catchphrase, with a towel around his waist and suggestive entrance, made it pretty clear what the writers were going for.

Since he left the wrestling business, Val Venis – real name Sean Morley – has not gotten any less controversial. He now reportedly owns a medical marijuana shop in Mesa, Arizona and has become an advocate for the drug’s legalization online.

Tito Santana

Tito Santana was a frequent title contender in the WWF during his career there.

Tito Santana, real name Merced Solis, might be one of the more underrated performers in pro wrestling history. Originally debuting in WWF action in the late 1970s, Santana returned later in the 1980s and stuck around through the early 1990s, winning the Intercontinental and Tag Team titles twice each and also winning the King of the Ring tournament in 1989.

A 2004 WWE Hall of Fame inductee, Solis is now a teacher and coach at Eisenhower Middle School in Roxbury Township, New Jersey, and wrestles on the independent circuit from time to time.
