Mr. Wrestling II
Even though Mr. Wrestling II was first introduced in 1956, he only took on the persona of Johnny Walker in the early ‘70s. Even though he competed with a mask inside the ring, he became a hit. As a matter of fact, there was a time when he was considered one of the five most popular wrestlers in the United States of America! Aside from that, it was said that President Jimmy Carter was a fan of his. It was truly devastating to hear that he passed away earlier in 2020.
CM Punk
We all know that CM Punk is a pro wrestler, but are you aware that he is a mixed martial arts expert as well? Outside of the ring, the man goes by the name Phillip Jack Brooks. He actually retired from his pro wrestling job so that he can focus on his MMA one more. According to him, he does not have any desire to go back to the wrestling world either. Even though he once said something like that, he did return to WWE at one point. However, what shocked most of his fans was the fact that he wore a mask!
