10 Weirdest Jobs Wrestlers Have Had After Retirement

10. All The Wrestlers Who Ran For Office

Why would you WANT to get into politics. Nice cushy job falling on your ass 300 nights a year sounds pretty good when you look at any political landscape these days. But tons of wrestlers have tried to transition their popularity from the ring to the polls with several actually winning their races.

The likes of Nikolai Volkoff, Ludvig Borga, Rhyno, Jerry Lawler and Bob Backlund have all run for varying positions with no success, while Brian Blair won a position as the Hillsborough County Commissioner in Florida and Rick Steiner won a seat on the Cherokee County School board. Jesse “The Body” Ventura achieved the highest amount of success becoming Governor of Minnesota in 1998 while Kane currently serves as Republican Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee. The biggest reddest machine.
