Wrestlers of the '80s and '90s: Where Are They Now?

Scott Hall

One of the most popular wrestlers of the '90s, Hall had tremendous success in the WWE as Razor Ramon and then in the WCW under his real name as a founding member of the nWo (along with Kevin Nash and Hulk Hogan). Unfortunately he began struggling with a severe drug and alcohol addiction, which resulted in multiple arrests and several hospital stays from overdoses. He is currently living with another former wrestler, Diamond Dallas Page, and is working to rebuild his life while remaining sober and getting hip replacement surgery.

Rick Steiner

Rick, along with his brother Scott Steiner, was one of the most popular tag teams in wrestling history with a career spanning nearly twenty years.  In 2004, he began a new journey with his life and started selling real estate in Atlanta, where he became a member of the Cherokee County School District Board in 2006.

Tammy Lynn Sytch

Better known as Sunny in the WWE, Sytch was one of the first Divas and spent the majority of her career managing her boyfriend Chris Candido. She began struggling personally after her career ended. This included several trips to rehab and a four-week span in 2012 where she was arrested five different times for burglary, disorderly conduct, and violating a protective order.

Lex Luger

The three-time world champion wrestled in NWA, WCW, and WWE until 2002 when he semi-retired. After multiple legal problems and a divorce, Luger had a terrifying scare in 2007 when he suffered a spinal stroke. He struggled with temporary paralysis and even after a month of treatment he had no movement in his arms or legs. In 2010, he became more comfortable walking on his own and is now able to drive.

Jesse Ventura

Ventura was one of the most charismatic characters in wrestling until 1984 when blood clots in his lungs forced him to retire. He continued to do color commentary as well as acting in movies such as "Predator" and "The Running Man."

In 1998, he made headlines when he was surprisingly voted in as the governor of Minnesota. He held the position until 2003. He remains politically active and, in recent interviews, stated that if he gets enough support he would consider a 2016 presidential run.

Marc Mero

Known as Johnny B. Badd in the WCW and The Wildman in WWE, Mero was a three-time WCW Television Champion and was named PWI's Rookie of the Year in 2001. Since his retirement, he founded a non-profit organization called Champion of Choices where he speaks at schools and churches encouraging teens to make positive choices and pursue their dreams.

Jake Roberts

Roberts well-documented drug and alcohol problems have, unfortunately, overshadowed his popular wrestling career. In 2007 the WWE paid all expenses for Roberts to check in to a 14-week rehab program. He continued on a downward spiral until 2012 when he moved in with Diamond Dallas Page to help with his sobriety. He claims to be on a road to recovery and is improving every day.

Perry Saturn

Saturn saw success in multiple companies including three tag team championships with John Kronus as part of the Eliminators. He resurfaced in 2009 after disappearing from wrestling and the public eye for several years. He revealed that he had struggled with an addiction to meth and was homeless for a few years.

Matt Hardy

Hardy dominated the tag team division of the WWE with his brother Jeff and became a fan favorite with their highly popular Tables, Ladders, and Chairs matches. His personal life began to spiral in 2011 after he crashed into a tree while driving and was arrested for DUI.

Four days later, he was rushed to the hospital after a fall at his home. Shortly after, he posted a suicide note on YouTube that he later claimed was fake. After multiple other arrests, he was admitted and later kicked out of a WWE-sponsored rehab clinic and continues to struggle with legal problems.

Ric Flair

As one of the most iconic wrestlers of all time, Flair was loved by fans of all ages and held pretty much every championship belt a wrestler could obtain. Since then he has been divorced four times and has been involved in numerous lawsuits and civil suits including a 2008 bankruptcy. Tragically his 25-year old son Reid was found dead in March of 2013. Flair still makes occasional appearances in the WWE.

Chyna

Perhaps the most infamous woman ever in professional wrestling, Chyna gained huge popularity in the WWE as part of Degeneration X. Her personal life began to take center stage as she underwent multiple plastic surgeries.

She posed for Playboy multiple times and became an adult film star after her sex tape with former wrestler, Sean Waltman was released in 2004. Her substance abuse problem came into the spotlight in 2008, when she appeared on "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew". She is currently continuing her recovery from drugs and alcohol.
