5 WWE Superstars who had unexpected jobs after leaving WWE
Wrestling. It is not a job for just anyone, even more so if the said person is employed at WWE. The dedication and love that the art of wrestling requires is more than most people can spare. Thus, those who work in the sport end up spending their entire lives at the job.
However, there are exceptions to every rule.
Wrestling does not really provide skills that may be a part of a regular person's job. So, when wrestlers leave WWE, they often end up working in different roles such as acting, becoming a trainer or coach, or commentator.
There are some WWE wrestlers, however, who took up some unexpected jobs. Here are five of them.
#5 'Kane' Glenn Jacobs - Mayor
Let's start with the most obvious one.
The Big Red Machine was one of the fiercest Superstars in WWE. He spent a large part of his career terrorizing other WWE Superstars, coming off as an insane person who could drag them to hell. His expression and height of 7 feet only added to his notoriety.
Kane debuted in his most prominent role as The Undertaker's brother, and the two have been involved in some legendary feuds spanning more than two decades. Despite having supreme in-ring skills, Kane, as a gimmick, was always shown to have severe emotional trauma. This has in fact been the basis for most of the storylines that the former World Heavyweight Champion was involved in.
No one ever thought that following his WWE career, Kane would be going to run for office, and not only run, but also win.
Kane is currently the mayor of Knox County, Tennessee. Also, he is still a part-time WWE wrestler when his duties as mayor spare him.
It would be unthinkable for anyone who saw Kane perform in WWE that he would be a mayor at some point in his life. This is the same person, who attacked Vince McMahon's son Shane, handcuffed him to the ring post, and hooked up jumper cables to his nether regions to electrocute him.
From there to mayor... it's been a journey.
