6 WWE Superstars and their jobs before WWE

For many fans, becoming a WWE Superstar would be a dream come true. Who amongst us hasn't at one point or another thought about how it'd feel to live that life? Traveling the world, having adoring fans, meeting some amazing talent, making new friends and getting to compete in the most successful company in the world.

But before you start picking out your entrance music and naming your finisher, you need to realize that all wrestlers at one point or another will have had just a regular job. Something to help them pay the bills on their road to WWE stardom.

Even those born into a wrestling family (such as Charlotte Flair, Randy Orton or Roman Reigns) will have at some point, had to work the mundane 9 to 5.

Here are 6 superstars who worked hard before getting to the WWE.

#1 Kurt Angle (Sports commentator)

In 1996, Kurt Angle won a gold medal at the Atlanta Olympics, defeating Iran's Abbas Jadidi (with a broken freakin' neck no less!).

Following the historic win, Angle joined WPGH-TV, a sports network based in his hometown of Pittsburgh, as a sportscaster, commenting on the various plays.

Angle has since described himself as the worst sportscaster ever, especially as during his brief stint, the teleprompter cut out, leaving the Wrestling Machine with nothing to say for over half a minute on live TV.

#2 Mustafa Ali (Police Officer)

On 205 Live, Mustafa Ali has dazzled fans with his acrobatic style, and was a finalist in the Cruiserweight Championship tournament earlier this year, but falling short to Cedric Alexander at WrestleMania 34.

But before all of that, Ali worked as a police officer. Ali has been someone who has consistently tried to accentuate the positives of life with her words and actions, so it makes sense that such a giving person would be willing to throw themselves in front of danger in the effort to serve and protect.

#3 Sheamus (Bodyguard)

Being a large, imposing monster of a man, it makes sense that the former WWE, World Heavyweight, Tag Team and US Champion would have a physically demanding job before entering the Squared Circle.

Prior to beginning training, Sheamus worked as a bodyguard for a band in Dublin, Ireland, and as you can imagine, was greatly successful.

In fact, he was so successful, that the Bar member was chosen to be the personal bodyguard for U2 singer Bono, whenever he visited.

#4 John Cena (Limo Driver)

Cena will compete at the upcoming WWE Super Show-Down event.

In the WWE, John Cena has proven himself to be one of the most successful stars in the company's history, capturing 16 World Championships, two Royal Rumble victories, and several the United States and Tag Team Championships.

With such monumental success, it's hard to imagine the Champ driving for hours on end, but Cena did just that, at the same time he was trying to become a police officer in Santa Monica, California.

In Cena's own words, he dismissed his skills as a driver, saying he was "not good at all".

#5 Roman Reigns and the Usos (Office Furniture Assemblers)

A long way away from their championship success in the WWE, the trio of Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso needed to make end's meet and did so by assembling office furniture.

Many fans will know that Reigns would later become a football prospect, before making his way to the WWE. But some may not know that it was former WWE Intercontinental Champion Umaga who gave the Usos their chance at becoming superstars, going to the house one late night and describing it as a now or never moment.

#6 The Undertaker (Debt Collector)

Undertaker has recently returned to Monday Night RAW.

One of the most iconic superstars in all of WWE, The Undertaker has left a horde of bodies in his wake and has gathered a mass of fans with his dark acts.

But before he was digging holes and taking souls, the Deadman worked as a debt collector, speaking about the former career during a 2003 interview with Jimmy Kimmel.

“I did some things I’m not too proud of but you’ve gotta do what you’ve gotta do."
