Even fans of ex-WCW character Johnny B. Badd or the WWF's Marc Mero could tell you that wrestling never came naturally to the guy. Regardless, Mero did carve out a semi-successful career for himself in several top companies. It's his work since retiring in 2006 that lands him atop this list though.

His non-profit organisation Champion Of Choices sees Marc travel around the place talking to people of all ages about where their lives are headed. Mero hasn't totally vanished from the wrestling bubble either - he's still open to giving interviews about his career when asked, but would much rather focus on charity work.

That's become his true passion.

One need only check out clips of Marc engaging with students and doing some motivational speaking to see that he has found his calling. The 63-year old has had some health troubles to contend with in recent years, but he's still out there doing his thing.
