Being fully invested as a performer in the world of professional wrestling must be a very strange way to live your life. Travelling for 300+ days a year sometimes, the majority of the time the only people you're spending time with are your colleagues.
What that means for a lot of stars is that they should really have a hard think before they become a pro wrestler. Not many Superstars manage to successfully juggle wrestling life and home life which is understandable considering the amount of time they're on the road.
What that inevitably leads to is a messy home life for many performers. The pro wrestling realm is no stranger to divorces and broken homes, and here are five stars in particular that struggled to strike up that balance between having a wife and being a WWE Superstar.
#5 Scott Hall
Scott Hall may very well be one of the only pro wrestlers to have been divorced from the same woman twice. In 1990 Hall married the woman with whom he would wind up having two children with. They would divorce in 1998, remarried a year later, then get divorced for the second time in 2001.
It's no secret that Scott has had a long and storied history of substance abuse. It was his addiction problems that caused his two divorces as the late '90s were when his drug problems began to escalate and also became public domain.
Sadly the ending of his marriage didn't stop Hall from abusing drugs and he carried on well into the 2000s. Thankfully in the present day he appears to be on the straight and narrow and is even helping his son Cody train to become a pro wrestler.
#4 Jerry Lawler
Those of you who are relatively new to the world of professional wrestling might view Jerry 'The King' Lawler in a very different light to the rest of us. Nowadays, he just seems like a sort of sweet, older man that cracks terrible jokes.
Rewind 20 years and The King's gimmick revolved around him ogling the ladies of WWE, often referring to their 'puppies'. Outside of WWE, Lawler may very well treat women in the same way as he has three divorces to his name.
The third and final of his marriages, to date, was to Stacy Carter, better known as The Kat in WWE. When Carter was released in 2001, Jerry stood up for her and also left the company out of principle. However, it was shortly after this that the two would break up and by the end of that same year The King was back with WWE.
#3 Stone Cold Steve Austin
Stone Cold Steve Austin is one of the most iconic Superstars to ever lace up a pair of boots. While at the top of his game in WWE, it seemed like nothing could go wrong for Austin and his run as Stone Cold was damn near perfect. His home life, however, was far from it.
Austin has been married an incredible four times. While his marriage to current wife Kristin is still going strong, his last one to former WWE Superstar Debra wound up being a bit of a mess. Steve was charged with domestic abuse, and it was during that tumultuous time that the two of them went their separate ways.
Before that Austin had married his high school sweetheart but then divorced her in order to marry Jeanie Clarke, who he met in the wrestling business. It's with Jeanie that Steve had his two daughters.
#2 John Cena
Yes, that's right, even the seemingly spotless John Cena has had marriage issues. It's something that neither WWE nor John Cena would care for fans to remember or to bring up all that often.
Before his relationship with Nikki Bella, Big Match John was actually married to somebody else. While nothing has ever really been confirmed it's thought that an alleged affair behind the scenes with Mickie James may have led to the relationship's demise.
The reason that the Massachusetts native dragged his feet so much when it came to Nikki Bella was that he didn't want to get married again. Clearly, the Bella Twin has worn him down though as the two are now engaged to be married following Cena's proposal at WrestleMania 33.
#1 Ric Flair
There was only ever going to be one man that topped this list, and that man is The Nature Boy Ric Flair. Naitch has been married and divorced four times, more than anyone else in this list, and is actually engaged to be married for the fifth time.
Flair's famous on-air persona depicted him as a ladies man who loved to party. Trouble is it was more than just an on-air persona; it was the life he was actually living. Any marriage was going to struggle to survive alongside the high life that Ric lived during his career.
All of that good living has caught up with Flair as of late, however. The 16 time World Champion is currently recovering from a major health scare and he actually announced recently that he had given up alcohol for good after all those years.
