What Are Your Favorite Wrestlers Up to Now?
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.

Did you know...
- 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. Over the next twelve months, she changed her hairstyle 13 times—more than once a month! But that came at a pricey cost. Sources say the annual price tag came out to $1,168,000 on just her hair.
- In the summer of 2007, Joh Hamm became a household name when Mad Men premiered to critical acclaim and strong ratings. Just over a year and a half later, Ellie Kemper stole America's hearts (and Dwight's and Andy's) when she became the new receptionist on The Office. Before they were famous, Hamm was Kemper's high school drama teacher!
- Björk created a media sensation when she wore her iconic white swan dress to the 2001 Oscars. At the time, many derided it as hideous and a publicity stunt, but it has since gone down as one of the most memorable dresses of all time—even if it isn't exactly beloved. She says David Bowie was the inspiration behind the dress.
- Paris Hilton not only lives in a mansion, she also built a doghouse mansion for her Chihuahua. It's 300 square feet and includes air conditioning and heating. It comes decked out with designer furniture, a chandelier, a pink paint job, second-floor balcony, and enclosed "yard." It's not enough for you to live in luxury. Your dog must, as well.
- 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.
