It has been a number of years since former WWE Tag Team Champion Charlie Haas has appeared in wrestling. If you passed him on the street today, you might not even recognize him.
Speaking with Hannibal TV, Haas revealed that he is back on his feet after having gone through a divorce and his current job is as a youth wrestling coach. As such, he has dropped down to just 215 pounds. Here is the quote from Haas’ interview, courtesy of Inside The Ropes:
“I’m back on my feet. I run a youth wrestling program out of Allen, Texas. Allen High School. They’re going for their 13th straight State title. They’re a top ten team in the country. I run the youth program that pushes all those kids into that program. I’m in the room everyday, wrestling, conditioning with kids from anywhere from kindergarten all the way up to high school, to college kids and drop-bys. I’m actually wrestling amateur, and wrestling the way I did when I was in college. So, in order for me do that, I had to drop weight, I’m at 215 right now. It’s a different look, but it fits me, so I’m happy where I’m at.”
Charlie Haas is best known for his time in WWE as part of Team Angle and the World’s Greatest Tag Team. He and Shelton Benjamin had a successful run as tag partners, winning the WWE Tag Team Championship twice.
Haas also worked for promotions such as Ring of Honor after being released by WWE in 2010.
