Former WWE wrestler Duke "The Dumpster" Droese is featured in a "Where Are They Now" article on the WWE website. I realized I couldn’t wrestle anymore and I had to do something else," Droese said. "I always wanted to teach kids, so I went back to school and got a master's degree and became a special education teacher.”

I work at a great school with a lot of great teachers," he continued. "Our school is one of the top-scoring in state test scores. I take a lot of pride in that. I think to be a wrestler you have to be a performer and to be a teacher you have to be a performer. You have to get up in front of a classroom full of kids and find a way to get them engaged in what you’re teaching and I think that’s what wrestling gave me.” To read the full article, visit WWE.com.

Powell's POV: Droese also revealed the unconventional manner in which he caught Vince McMahon's attention and landed a job with the company. It's a good read on a wrestler who worked for the WWF beginning in 1984.
