Especially now that the WWE Network allows access to pay-per-views and other programming from decades past, fans can see superstars that are no longer around the company. Some have gone on to be elected to school board positions, while others run their own businesses.
But surely there are plenty more former Superstars that have interesting new careers. In fact, with the sheer number of men and women that have come across the WWE screen over the years, there’s really no telling where we might find them.
Muhammad Hassan
When most people think about Muhammad Hassan, they think about controversy and missed opportunity. His already risky, yet progressive, Arabic character was a major heel, but his career turned sour after an especially aggressive segment happened too close to the London bombings.
Hassan was released from the WWE a couple months later and didn’t stay in pro wrestling. Instead, Hassan – real name Marc Copani – went on to teach high school social studies and is now an assistant principal at G. Ray Bodley High School in New York state.
Tully Blanchard
The Four Horsemen make up one of the most widely known groups in the history of professional wrestling, and Tully Blanchard was an original member of the foursome. The 2012 inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame, as part of the Horsemen, won the WWF Tag Team Championship with Arn Anderson and various NWA titles.
Other than an appearance in 2014 to help his daughter, Tessa, that ended up getting him injured, Tully’s focus is elsewhere these days. Since 2010, he’s run a Christian prison ministry in San Antonio, Texas, and even served on the advisory board for a national prison ministry organization.
Tony Schiavone
Tony Schiavone had a brief run in the WWE as an announcer in 1989 and 1990 but is primarily known as one of the voices of the WCW during the Monday Night War, calling the action for the NWO’s battles with Sting and the rest of the WCW roster.
After his time in WCW came to an end when the company was bought by Vince McMahon, Schiavone returned to mainstream sports, where he originally began his career calling minor league baseball. He has called games for the Gwinnett Braves and also has a show on the University of Georgia’s radio network.
