Maximum Security Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 After reading about the new Hulk Hogan shop, I thought I would start a new thread about wrestler's that have had a go at pouring their hard earned bucks into starting a business. Most wrestlers do the same and retire and open wrestling schools but others have gone into other areas. Â Does anyone know any ? Â I'll start with the late Bam Bam Bigelow and his BAM BAM BIGELOW'S Hamburger Joint on route 590 in Lake Ariel, PA Â Their specialty was "the beast burger" Â I recall reading a review from a fan about how him and a friend hunted down the shop and how shocked they were that Bam Bam Bigelow was cooking the hamburgers. Then after cooking the burgers for him and his friend he sat with them giving them a Q and A about the WWF. Â I could'nt find any photo's of the joint if anyone can dig one up and post that would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrestlingmad Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Let's see...  Abdullah the Butcher House of Ribs "The food here is bar none themes bbq I have ever had. What makes this place so special is all the wrestling pics and the overall experience. When we got thereby husband asked if Abdullah would be coming by. They actually called and he came and sat with us while we ate! Being long time wrestling fans this was the highlight of our vacation. He told us all about his experience with wrestling, life, etc. Back to the food----all home made....the smoker is in the back. The corn bread was to die for! A must if you are a bbq fan, wrestling fan or both!" - Random trip adviser review  Referee Tim White's Friendly Tap  Rob Van Dam's Five-Star Comics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Snake Plissken Posted September 4, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted September 4, 2012 Abdullah the Butcher has a restaurant i believe then there's this years Apprentice winner Ricky Martin who runs a recruitment agency. Sting & Luger run a gym and I know there's loads others, but I can't recall them all currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ant Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Bad taste, but Dino Bravo had a stab at an outside interest. As you'll all know it didn't work out too well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stylin_and_Profilin Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Brisco Brothers' Body Shop  I always thought this was a rib given all the innuendo and sly remarks Ross and Lawler would make about it, only just realised it actually exists.  And although it's now closed this was once upon a time open and thriving in California i believe.   Then of course there was this short lived disaster:  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Statto Posted September 4, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted September 4, 2012 I'm sure I remember Booker T having a hip hop record shop or something  I seem to recall a series of vignettes in TNA around the time Booker was first turning heel showing Booker at home in and around Houston (or maybe TNA were going there for a show?) which showed him as the owner of a bar or restaurant, and "caught" him instructing the bartender to water down the beer. Not sure if that was completely storyline, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted September 4, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted September 4, 2012 Victoria had an ill fated attempt to run a motor bike customisation workshop too, which I think shut down after some of the mods they had done were found to be unsafe. Didn't it "mysteriously" burn down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
