10 Wrestlers Who Are Almost Unrecognisable Since They Retired

Upon his introduction into WWE, Vladimir Koslov was presented as a lumbering sambo expert, reliant on brute force and strength. His physique matched the billing and his build was solid; however, his was far from the aesthetically impressive physiques of The Rock, Ultimate Warrior or even Triple H.

Fast forward a decade later and a whole lot has changed - including Koslov's appearance. Incredibly, despite being nine years since his WWE debut and five years since he retired from the sport altogether, Kozlov looks even better today than he did during his prime at 27.

Now in his late 30s, Koslov (real name Oleg Prudius) has made his way into the movie industry. Since retiring from wrestling, he has starred in some high profile pictures, including John Wick 2 with Keanu Reeves, and even Fast & Furious 8 with The Rock.

His dedication to the roles has also seen the former 'Moscow Mauler' transform his body. His chiselled physique is a severe upgrade from how he looked back in the days of tagging with Santino Marella.

While many ex-WWE Superstars let themselves go once they leave the spotlight, Koslov is a rare case of someone that not only stays in shape but gets himself in better condition as the years roll on.
