20 WWE superstars who held other jobs before stardom (With Pictures)

2. Hulk Hogan – Baseball Player/Gym Manager

The man who would go on to become arguably the biggest icon in the history of North American pro wrestling could have gone several other directions years before he even came close to achieving stardom in the industry. Hogan was a talented baseball player who attracted attention from some pro scouts before an injury ended that career. Those stories about Hogan once being offered a gig in Metallica may not completely be accurate, but the Hulkster did play bass guitar in a band. He also, as did many other to-be wrestlers before they broke into the business, managed some gyms.
