Oscar Gutierrez, better known as Rey Mysterio, hooked fans with his wild style in the ring, and of course, his colorful signature masks. Believe it or not, Mysterio started his career in professional wrestling before he turned 15 years old. He is credited with helping to popularize the Lucha Libre style and won several awards over the course of his career, including the World Cruiserweight Championship. In fact, he basically helped launch the entirety of the Cruiserweight division! He is a 2-time Intercontinental Champion and 4-time tag team champion.
Mysterio retired from WWE in 2015, but he is still very active in the world of wrestling. He returned to the AAA, where he had been for a few years before his career took off. In 2015, he signed with Lucha Underground and worked with them until 2018, when he returned to the WWE for the men’s rumble match. There are two documentaries about his life, called ‘Rey Mysterio: 619’, and ‘Rey Mysterio: The Biggest Little Man’. He has also been made into a character in a number of WWE video games.
Trevor Murdoch: Business Owner
Trevor Murdoch, born William Mueller, is one of the few redheads we have on this list. The former pro got his start in the industry in ’97, and signed on with the WWE in 2005. He won his very first match, a tag-team round with partner Lance Cade, and fans were impressed.
Murdoch officially retired from pro wrestling in 2017. He lives with his wife, Amanda, and a newborn son in Missouri, where he owns heavy machinery and a fiber optic installation business. Murdoch has been made into a playable video game character in a few of the WWE’s games, including 'WWE: Smackdown vs. Raw', both in 2007 and 2009. Murdoch still makes appearances at events every once in a while.
Sable: Family Woman
Sable basically laid the groundwork for the modern-day ladies of the WWE. The blonde bombshell debuted in the mid ’90s, when she first appeared in the ring with Triple H. She developed a huge fan base, due to her fierce looks and incredible skills in the ring. Sable used her celebrity status to get her foot in the door of the acting world. She appeared in a few major shows and films, including 2001’s 'Corky Romano', starring Chris Kattan.
Sable’s first husband was killed in a drunk-driving crash 5 years before her WWE debut. She married fellow pro-wrestler Brock Lesnar in 2006. The couple has two sons together and has been married ever since. Sable is said to have an estimated net worth of nearly $10 million, and currently focuses on her family life.
Road Dogg: Host, Writer, Director
Road Dogg, The Roadie, Jesse James, Brian James is a beloved staple in the WWE, and has been around since he first joined in 1994. He’s won several championships, both solo and with his partner, Billy Gunn.
He first left the WWE in 2001, but returned over a decade later to induct his dad (Bullet) into the Hall of Fame. Then, a year later, he entered into a Royal Rumble match, and started hosting 'Are You Serious?', on YouTube and WWE.com. These days, James is still with the company, working behind the scenes as a writer and producer. Before beginning his career in wrestling, he was enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, where he made it all the way up to the rank of Platoon Sergeant.
The Honky Tonk Man Enjoys His New Status as a Hall of Famer
The Honky Tonk Man, born Wayne Farris, started his career with the WWF in 1986, and less than a year later he had already won his first Intercontinental Championship. He left in 1991 to work with the WCW, but returned again several years later in 1997, as a color commentator. Then in 2001, he jumped back in the ring for a special Royal Rumble performance.
Farris made an appearance as the defendant on an episode of the court reality show, 'Judge Jeanine Pirro'. The episode, which aired in 2010, was the highest-rated in the show’s history. He has also done cameos in other films, TV shows, and even a music video. The Honky Tonk Man is also a playable character in several video games, including 'WW2K15'. The former pro was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in April 2019.
