5 WWE Superstars who have retired over a decade ago and how they look today

After hanging up their boots over a decade ago, five former WWE Superstars look much different today.

Back in their wrestling days, these five legends attracted the spotlight inside and outside the ring. While some were very skilled in-ring competitors, others were the definition of beauty. They all had a considerable fanbase among the WWE Universe.

Following their retirement, these five former wrestlers made a few appearances on WWE TV. However, their looks have changed a lot over the years. Although a few of them are still in good shape, the time has taken its toll on all five legends. Some of them are now hardly recognizable.

Here are five WWE Superstars who retired over a decade ago and how they look today.


#5. Former WWE Tag Team Champion Typhoon

Former WWE Superstar Typhoon (F.K.A. Tugboat) kicked off his wrestling career in the mid-1980s. He joined WWE in late 1989 before making his televised debut in January 1990. The 65-year-old spent a few years in Vince McMahon's company before leaving in 1993. During that time, he won the WWE Tag Team Titles alongside his Natural Disasters partner, Earthquake.

Following his departure, Typhoon spent nearly a year in World Championship Wrestling before returning to WWE in May 1994. The former Tag Team Champion's second WWE run lasted only a few months. He left again in August 1994.

After leaving WWE again, the 65-year-old wrestled for a few more years on the independent circuit before announcing his retirement in 2001. Shortly before hanging up his boots, he participated in the Gimmick Battle Royale at WrestleMania 17.

Back in his wrestling days, Typhoon was famous for his long dark hair and beard. Today, he looks completely different. At 65 years old, his hair is now completely white. He has also cut it short and turned his long beard into a goatee.

#4. Former WWE Women's Champion Bull Nakano

Several years before Asuka became a dominant force in WWE, another Japanese lady held the Women's Championship.

Bull Nakano was born in Japan and kicked off her wrestling career in the mid-1980s. She started wrestling at the age of 15 in her home country. Nakano then moved to Mexico and later to the United States to join WWE.

Nakano became a WWE Superstar in 1994 and left in 1995. Despite her short stint, the 53-year-old challenged for the WWE Women's Title a few times. In August 1994, she wrestled Alundra Blayze twice for the title but came up short.

Nakano finally defeated Blayze at the WWF MSG Show in January 1995 to capture the title. Nonetheless, she lost it again to Blayze in April that same year on Monday Night RAW.

Following her departure from WWE, the Japanese lady wrestled in a few promotions, including WCW. She then announced her retirement from pro wrestling in 1997 and became a professional golfer soon after.

During her time in WWE, Nakano had a unique look. She would go out to the ring with colored hair and blue face paint. Today, she looks a lot different.

The 53-year-old now has a YouTube channel where she produces a show called Empress's Hall.

#3. WWE Hall of Famer Scott Hall

WWE Hall of Famer Scott Hall hung up his boots eleven years ago after a long and successful career. The 62-year-old started wrestling in 1984 and competed in a few promotions for eight years, including WCW.

In 1992, he joined WWE, where he spent nearly four years. During his time in WWE, Hall won the Intercontinental Championship four times. He then jumped ship and joined WCW in 1996 to become part of the legendary NWO stable.

The 62-year-old returned to WWE in 2002, alongside his NWO partners Hollywood Hulk Hogan and Kevin Nash. However, he was released just a few months later. After departing from WWE, Hall competed in a few different promotions, including Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (Impact Wrestling). He announced his retirement from in-ring competition in 2010.

Following his retirement, Hall struggled with weight and health problems but was able to turn his life around with the help of his former colleague Diamond Dallas Page. The former Intercontinental Champion looks much older today than how he looked in his wrestling days. Nonetheless, he is in good physical shape.

Since his retirement, Hall has made several WWE appearances. He also became a two-time WWE Hall of Famer.

#2. Former WWE Hardcore Champion Terri Runnels

Terri Runnels was one of the most recognized WWE female superstars during the Attitude Era. She joined WWE in 1996 as the manager of her then real-life husband, Goldust.

Later, Runnels parted ways with Goldust. She then became the on-screen girlfriend of Val Venis. When they broke up, she joined forces with Jacqueline Moore to form the Pretty Mean Sisters, but the stable disbanded a few months later.

In the following years, the 54-year-old managed a few other superstars, including Edge and Christian. She also went into a few feuds with superstars like Trish Stratus and The Kat.

Later in her WWE career, Runnels became a TV host and backstage interviewer. During a backstage segment in 2002, she pinned Steven Richards to capture the Hardcore Championship. She left the company two years later and retired from pro wrestling.

During her wrestling days, Runnels was one of the most beautiful women on the WWE roster. Today, she is still beautiful despite being older.

#1. WWE Hall of Famer Alundra Blayze

Alundra Blayze is one of the best female superstars in WWE history. She kicked off her wrestling career in the mid-1980s before joining WCW in 1991. During her first run in WCW, Blayze only wrestled in two matches and participated in a bikini contest. She then moved to WWE in 1993.

The 57-year-old spent two years in Vince McMahon's company, where she dominated the women's division. Blayze won the WWE Women's Championship three times before WWE stripped her of her title and released her in 1995.

Blayze's most famous moment in her wrestling career came as she returned to WCW. The former WWE Women's Champion showed up on Nitro with the WWE Women's Championship belt and threw it in a trash can.

The 57-year-old spent several years in WCW before retiring from in-ring action in 2001.

After 20 years from her WWE departure, Blayze finally returned to be inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2015. She later competed in the 20-woman Battle Royal at WWE Evolution in 2018. The former Women's Champion also appeared on the RAW Reunion episode in 2019, where she won the 24/7 Championship before selling it to Ted DiBiase.

The 57-year-old recently posted a photo of herself without makeup on Instagram, saying she is comfortable with her looks and encouraging people to be themselves.
