Top 10 wrestlers who didn't transition well post-WWE

A charismatic problem?Once you reach WWE as a pro-wrestler, you have reached the mountain top of all pro-wrestling. You are finally at the biggest and most storied wrestling promotion in the world and you have accomplished potentially a life-long dream.Sadly, you must eventually retire or you might get let go by WWE. Once this happens, you have to decide what you will do with your life now that you have no affiliation to WWE any longer. Some do well with this like The Rock and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, as both went on to have success in Hollywood. Rock became the biggest star in the movie business today and is a must have for any action movie out there.People like Batista have done well in the world of showbiz too. For every success, there is also a sad group who didn’t transition well into their post-WWE careers. We decided to count down the top ten people who weren’t able to transition well. Enjoy.

#1 Hulk Hogan

I know what you’re thinking. How can the most iconic pro-wrestler ever and a man who has both a reality show and movie history to his credit not have transitioned well into a post-WWE career? Well, the problem is that he never could let go from the world of pro-wrestling and only seemed to have troulbe outside of WWE.

Vince McMahon pretty much forced Hogan out in the early 1990’s and Hogan felt retirement was his best option. He was happy being at home and made enough money to live on during his time with WWE for probably a good portion of his life. Then WCW called and he ended up going there where he helped WCW overtake WWE, but added to a business dying with some of the most controversial stories ever such as the Jarrett laydown, Fingerpoke of doom, etc.

Hogan would find his way back to WWE for a while and would then leave and have no issues. Then his son would get into an accident and cost the life of his friend during it. This led Hogan to paying out a ton of money.To add more problems, he and his wife would divorce, costing him even more money.

He would go to TNA to get more money, which at the time he needed badly.

Hogan would then get involved in a sex tape ordeal, which is actually playing out in court right now. Hogan would then leave TNA after hurting it more and would sign with WWE. He did well for a while but the comments he made from 8 years ago during a tough time in his life hit the ‘net, which ended up costing Hogan his job with WWE yet again.

All of this said, Hogan has not had a satisfying situation in life since leaving WWE the many times he has.
