If you're a WWE fan, you know the story by now: Diamond Dallas Page, one of the homegrown stars of WCW who never really had as good of a WWE run as he should have, has found great success post-wrestling with his DDP Yoga system, which helped Jake "The Snake" Roberts back from the edge of oblivion.

While that may be a bit of an exaggeration, there's no question that DDP deserves a lot of credit, and has definitely found his niche in a place few would have ever imagined.

To be fair, DDP, who entered the wrestling business relatively late in life, wrote "Yoga for Regular Guys Workout" back in 1998, when he was still very much in the business. However, his DDP Yoga system took off much later. In 2014, he appeared on the show Shark Tank looking for investors, and while he didn't secure any, the system's profits were revealed to be $800,000 for 2013 alone. Not too shabby.

After a brief stint with TNA in 2005, Page also appeared in Rob Zombie's The Devil's Rejects, and has since found a home in several smaller films including Gallowwalkers, Pizza Man, and Vengeance. He also took home an undisclosed sum of money from rapper Jay-Z, who infringed upon his trademarked "Diamond Cutter" hand gesture.

Page became a husband for the second time July 25 2015. Congrats!
