Well that's two.Not all. Stone Cold and The Rock are doing pretty well post-wrestling. It's more the guys who just can't walk away i.e. flair and hogan.

Could of been one of the greats in the business but so much wasted potential. Can't believe the guy is still alive.

So pretty much if you become a professional wrestler your life will end badly, right?
I think Hogan would be done now if he wasn't dealing with a nasty divorce. It's sad when you see guys like Foley still getting in the ring, despite him being very good about watching his money during his heyday by all accounts.
The guys that never reach that "top guy" level all seem to get screwed, and even a lot of the top guys do too. For some of them it's self-inflicted (go read the Grantland article about Ric Flair to hear how he pretty much dug his own grave), but a lot of those lower card guys don't actually get paid all that much and are responsible for all their own travel and medical expenses. I can't imagine how expensive an insurance policy for a professional wrestler is.
We used to walk around and flick toothpicks at people and say "Hey Yo."
I think Hogan is in the same kind of mess that Flair is.
Nine back surgeries ( I know, could be part of the swerve ), 60 years old (62 for Flair) and still giving juice Thursday nights on an obscure cable channel.
That doesn't seem like someone who is on top of the world.

He was one of the greats. This isn't about wasted talent, it's about not being able to seperate in ring persona and out of ring life.
Hogan? The guy got divorced but I'd say he's doing pretty damn well for himself.
anyone who saw that documentary had little hope of there being a happy ending. Sadly, there is just one ending for this story and it's only a matter of time.
