10 Side Businesses You Didn't Know WWE Wrestlers Owned WWE 10 Side Businesses You Didn’t Know WWE Wrestlers Owned WWE Wrestlers make a lot of money each year, and some still do side jobs. Some use their strength and muscle to moonlight as bodyguards, like Sheamus and Brodus Clay, who has been a bodyguard for Snoop Dogg. And Paul Bearer was a funeral director in his spare time and went back to it full time after he retired until his death in 2012. And some of the previous jobs WWE Wrestlers have had are a little different as well; Steve Austin worked at a dock before he became a wrestler. Orlando Jordan worked for the U.S. Forest Service for the group that helps put out forest fires. The WWE’s Maven was a sixth- grade teacher before wrestling. Rico was a one of the American Gladiators before becoming a wrestler, for those who don’t know what the was, it was TV show on in the 90’s. That had strong men and woman go up against contestants; they had events that they had to complete to win prizes. Another profession that many WWE Wrestlers did before where a wrestler is a professional athlete. Kurt Angle competed at the 1996 Summer Olympics in freestyle wrestling and won a gold metal. Mark Henry also competed in that Olympics in weightlifting. Goldberg played for three years with the Atlanta Falcons. Junk Yard Dog and Lex Luger both played for the Green Bay Packers. Believe it or not but Macho Man Randy Savage played in the minor league Cincinnati Reds before he was telling the world “Oh Yeah.” Just like most famous people they had day jobs before they because professional wrestlers. After most wrestlers retire they have a nice nest egg to do whatever they want, most just sit back and relax. But some wrestlers use that money to start their own businesses; this ensures that they will still have a steady income after they have retired. 10.

  • Samoan Submission Machines
    Samoan Submission Machines: Grappling with Representations of Samoan Identity in Professional Wrestling Theo Plothe1 Savannah State University [email protected] Amongst the myriad of characters to step foot in the squared circle, perhaps no ethnic group has been as celebrated or marginalized as the Samoans who have made their names in professional wrestling. The discussion of Samoan identity in the context of sport has examined Maori identity and masculinity in New Zealand, among other topics, but there has yet to be work which considers Samoans within professional wrestling. This research investigates Samoan identity through a content analysis of televised wrestling matches. This research identifies six primary stereotypes under which Samoan identity is portrayed. These portrayals of Samoan characters, I argue, flatten the representation of this ethnic group within wrestling and culture at large. Keywords: Samoans, identity, representation, gimmicks Introduction Among the myriad of characters to step foot in the squared circle, perhaps no ethnic group has been as celebrated or marginalized as the Samoans who have made their names in professional wrestling. This research investigates the identity of Samoans within professional wrestling, and the different ways they are constructed and presented to audiences. “Gimmicks,” characters portrayed by a wrestler “resulting in the sum of fictional elements, attire and wrestling ability” (Oliva and Calleja 3) utilized by Samoans have run the gamut from the wild uncivilized savage, to the sumo (both in villainous Japanese and comically absurd iterations), to the ultra-cool mogul who wears silk shirts and fancy shoes. Their ability to cut promos, an important facet of the modern gimmick allowing wrestlers to address their opponents and storylines, varies widely as well, but all lie within their Samoan identity.

It is an examination of accidental and cultivated loneliness, a narrative of a boy and later a man who is too adept at adapting to different environments, a reflection on relationships and popularity and a need for attention and love that clashes with a need to walk through unfamiliar neighborhoods alone.

  • Appendix 2.6C: Censoring Scenarios
    Appendix 2.6C Appendix 2.6C: Censoring Scenarios Section 1. Description of Scenario Selection I. Goal Select a series of different locations, parameters, and censoring levels to evaluate the performance of multiple options for dealing with the pre-1999 data censoring in the CBP dataset. Tried to pick the scenarios so that they represent the common censoring cases we have in the data that might impact trend analysis. II. Censoring features of our data sets that we want to evaluate: Censoring of data in the 1st half our record, and not the 2nd half, could impact long-term trend conclusions when we analyze 1985-present. Step-wise detection limits improvements as time went on may lead to spurious trend detection, or inability to identify a true trend. Censoring of individual constituents of a computed parameter result in interval censoring. Some interval censoring notes I’ve seen as I go: o TP is not much of a concern. >10% censoring only happens from 1985-1989 in 11% of the data sets. The worst case is CB5.2 surface at 21% o For TN, there is a lot of censoring in the first half of the record. Half of the data sets from 1985-1989 are censored >50%, and 1/3 of the data sets from 1990-1994 are censored >50%. This drops to almost nothing after 1994. However, looking at these plots, the censored and non-censored TN are all mixed together. Varied percent of data censored and how different methods might perform (see spreadsheets from Tetra Tech): o >70% censoring happens for .
