10. The Future King Of Swing Once Worked For Johnson & Johnson...

For 99.99% of its practitioners, professional wrestling doesn€™t pay very well at all. The vast majority of wrestlers drive literally thousands of miles and endure unimaginable hardship for crappy payoffs that often don€™t even cover their travel expenses. It sounds almost like a sappy charity ad, doesn€™t it? €˜Please, give just £2 a month to ensure that a would-be indie star can get a hot meal and a place to stay for the night. After a lifetime of being hit on the head with steel chairs, wrestlers need clean clothes, a steady gym membership and access to a chemist who doesn€™t ask a lot of questions...Your donations can make this happen€™ Sadly, however, it is the truth. Away from the bright lights and royalties€™ payoffs of the WWE, life can be pretty bleak for wrestlers on the road. So, freshly immigrated to the United States, Cesaro, already a veteran of the European, Mexican and Japanese wrestling circuits, decided to get a steady job. To this end, the once-and-future King of Swing worked for US pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson as (get this) a €˜Data File Administrator€™ until he started getting better payoffs from working the indie circuit.
