Wrestling has been around for a long time. The WWE alone has been around for a whopping 70 years! It's no surprise that it's made a major mark on society and popular culture. With globally popular events like Wrestlemania, King of the Ring, and Royal Rumble, there has been an almost endless stream of new wrestlers.

Over the years, the public has been introduced to a variety of wrestlers, each more outrageous than the last. Some have basically become A-list celebrities and household names as they rocketed from nobody to a legend in the wrestling industry.

So, how are your favorites fairing? Maybe they’ve stepped away from the ring, or maybe they’re still going. Some have branched out into other forms of entertainment, while others stuck with the fitness field. Here’s a look at what the biggest WWE superstars are doing today.

Then: Hulk Hogan

Hulk Hogan was the face of ‘80s wrestling and is still easily one of the most recognizable wrestlers of all time. Hogan was a pop culture icon that appeared across several magazine covers, talk shows, and even on a few cartoons. Hogan won the Heavyweight Championship a total of six times and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2005.

  • Jennifer Aniston's star-defining role on friends started a hair craze in the 90s that even lasted into the early 2000s. Called "The Rachel," Aniston's shoulder-length haircut had grown-out bangs and highlights styled to perfection.

Too bad that it was notoriously difficult to maintain on your own at home.
  • After her role as First Lady came to an end, Jackie Kennedy went into the publishing business. She became an associate editor at Doubleday and worked mostly on autobiographies.

  • Jackie Kennedy is famous for redecorating and renovating the interior of the White House. Actually, on just her first day, she ordered $50,000 in changes for new rooms for the children and upgrades to the kitchen. She later hosted a tour of the White House for CBS News which was viewed by 56 million people and won her an Emmy Award.
  • When Rihanna debuted her famous red locks in 2010 (around the same time she was featured on Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie"), she started a red-hair trend.
