10 Wrestlers Who Were Jobbers (But Were Still Successful Outside Of The Ring)

On a wrestling card, there are a variety of roles that have to be fulfilled, and while everyone wants to be the main event star who gets to hold the World Championship, that isn't a viable situation. Many wrestlers have to wind up becoming jobbers, which is a role that helps out everyone above them on the card.

While those wrestlers don't tend to have tons of success inside the ring when it comes to victories or title wins, that doesn't mean they can't find tons of success away from the ring. Many former jobbers have gone on to achieve a lot after leaving wrestling, showcasing their passion in different ventures.

10 Mideon

Mideon wasn't taken seriously through the majority of his career, with the Naked Mideon gimmick being one of the worst in WWE history. It was something that was never going to be taken seriously at the top end of the card, and that led to him slipping into jobber territory.

However, after his time in wrestling came to an end Mideon was able to go on and enjoy a lot of success as a chef. He broke into the culinary world and hasn't looked back since, thriving in a completely different industry instead.

9 Dawn Marie

Dawn Marie was never one of the top female acts in WWE during her time, but she was treated poorly by the company as she got fired while she was pregnant which was a shocking situation. However, while that was settled in a lawsuit, Marie went on to have plenty of success.

She went on to become a nurse, having great success in the health field as she completely disconnected from the professional wrestling world to focus on what was next for her in life.

8 Shawn Stasiak

Shawn Stasiak was a talented professional wrestler, but he wasn't pushed heavily during his time in WWE. He was given some poor gimmicks and it saw fans lose interest in him as he slipped down the card to the point where he requested his release.

That is a big risk for any wrestler to take, but Stasiak had business ventures that he wanted to get going. This led to him having a career as a chiropractor which has been incredibly successful as he launched his own company that continues to thrive.

7 Brodus Clay

While Brodus Clay is hitting new heights as a professional wrestler working in the main event scene in the NWA, when it came to his run with WWE he was relegated to being a jobber. Despite the fact fans thought he'd be a monster heel, the company opted to have him in a dancing comedy role.

Despite that, Clay has enjoyed some great success away from wrestling by acting in several movies, and writing a successful book. However, his biggest achievement has come through his work with FOX, appearing on various FOX News shows.

6 Lauren Jones

Lauren Jones is someone that a lot of wrestling fans have likely forgotten about as she didn't have the most successful in-ring career. Ultimately, wrestling wasn't for her which is why she requested her release from WWE, but she certainly had the drive to go on and thrive.

Jones has her own brand of shoes which began specifically for brides but then expanded beyond that. Meanwhile, she has also enjoyed success in the acting world proving her versatility as she pushed herself to new heights.

5 Chris Nowinski

Chris Nowinski came from the Tough Enough reality show, and while he did okay in WWE until his career was cut due to post-concussion syndrome, but he was never a top-tier athlete in the business. However, he has gone on to do a lot of good for the sporting world following his own issues.

Nowinski showcased what type of person he is by the fact he dealt with adversity and went on to channel it positively. He created a foundation based on post-concussion syndrome and has since gone on to help others who dealt with this.

4 Amy Weber

Amy Weber isn't someone that was ever pushed too hard in the women's division of WWE, despite her confidence on the microphone due to her acting history. She had a couple of memorable moments, but for the most part, she is a forgotten talent from her era.

After her wrestling career drew to a close she kicked on to become a real estate broker, which is something she has had great success in, with this being an industry quite a few wrestlers have gone into.

3 Bo Dallas

Bo Dallas is someone that fans had a lot of hope for as a performer during his time in NXT as he showcased a lot of quality and got to hold the NXT Championship. However, his main roster run didn't continue at the level and he fell down the card to being a jobber to put others over.

Whether he was in the Social Outcasts or The B-Team he was not a focused athlete overall. After his WWE run came to an end, Dallas put his focus elsewhere and that has led to him having success in the farming world.

2 Vladimir Kozlov

Vladimir Kozlov might have started his career in the main event scene as a dominant monster, it didn't take long for him to slip down the card as it was clear he wasn't good enough to be in his original role. He would become a comedic character that often danced around the ring as he teamed with Santino Marella.

However, after wrestling, he got into the world of acting where he has been able to appear in a variety of movies and television shows such as Marvel's "The Punisher." Meanwhile, Kozlov has also launched his own vodka brand as he continues to find success outside of wrestling.

1 Eva Marie

Eva Marie was pushed far stronger than her in-ring talent was capable of, and that is ultimately why her wrestling career didn't work out. WWE was more concerned with pushing her in "Total Divas" than anything else, but that ended up being a blessing for her as she was able to thrive away from the business.

Marie has been consistently busy when she hasn't been wrestling because of her personality, charisma, and looks. It has allowed her to land acting and modeling roles which have seen her career rise consistently.
