Having a pet in the house can be a real stress buster for a person after returning from a hectic day in the office. While it does a great deal of good for a common person, it does a great deal more for the pro-wrestlers who are on the road throughout the year.
The wrestlers return home with their bodies bruised and with lots of mental stress, and nothing can give them a much-needed break more than the unconditional love from their pets. Along with the wrestlers, their pets also get exposed to the limelight and catch the fans' attention. With that said, let's take a look at ten famous wrestler pets.
10 Alexa Bliss' Larry Steve
Alexa Bliss' pet pig Larry Steve starts off this list as it is one of the well-known wrestler pets among the fans. Bliss met Larry Steve for the first time on the December 6, 2017, episode of Total Divas when she and Nia Jax goes to visit a pig farm.
Bliss is no stranger to having pets as she's owned cats & dogs before, but she expressed her desire to own a pig. She found the perfect little pig in Larry Steve, and her desire intensified even more when she learned that he's deaf. Now, little Larry Steve is all grown up but is still spoiled by his loving mom.
9 Koko B.Ware's Frankie
WWE Hall of Famer Koko B. Ware is known for his many accolades in pro-wrestling, but what made him more famous is walking out to the ring with his blue-and-yellow Macaw named Frankie.
Macaws can be very tricky to train, but Frankie proved to be different and was well-behaved and sat on a perch on ringside while B. Ware competed in his matches. WWE inducted B. Ware into their Hall of Fame in 2009, and he paid tribute to Frankie by bringing him out during the induction ceremony.
8 Natalya's Cats
It's not a tough job to find out that Natalya is a cat person as she usually wears a cat ears headband while making her entrance to the ring. Her love for cats knows no boundaries, and she shared stories of her family having numerous rescue cats and dogs in their house.
Her husband Tyson Kidd also shares her love for cats, and they owned a cat named Gizmo. However, Kidd and Natalya had to put Gizmo to sleep after the cat suffered a stroke. But Kidd surprised his wife with another kitten who resembles Gizmo and named him Louie.
7 Jake Roberts' Snakes
When people decide to bring a pet into their family, snakes are not one of the most common choices. But WWE Hall of Famer Jake Roberts is no common person, is he? He earned himself the nickname Jake "The Snake" Roberts as he carries his pet snakes to the ring to intimidate his opponents during his matches.
His snake collection includes his infamous boa constrictor named Damien and a de-venomed cobra named Lucifer. Roberts made a career out of bringing snakes out to the ring during his matches but is staying away from them after hanging up his boots.
6 Mickie James' Horses
Mickie James was WWE's first Horsewoman even before Sasha Banks, Bayley, Charlotte Flair, and Becky Lynch even made their debuts with the promotion. James spent most of her time in her grandmother's horse farm during her childhood and even dreamed of becoming an equestrian before stepping inside the squared circle.
She has three Morgan horses named Rhapsody, Bunny, and Casanova and plans to have her own horse farm after her retirement. Her love for animals is not only limited to horses, as she also owns a pet dog named Butch.
5 Goldberg's Goatberg
Pro-wrestling fans know Goldberg as an unforgiving wrecking machine who ran through his competition during his prime. But the Hall of Famer is also a man who also shares great love towards animals.
Goldberg adopted a goat and gave it the best name he could’ve possibly thought of. His wife is also an animal lover and when they found out her horse trainer was trying to get the goat off his hands, Goldberg adopted it and named him Goatberg. He did have a tough time getting along with the newest addition to his family as Goatberg took the liberty to pee all over the floor.
4 King Corbin's Cockatiel
Despite being one of the best heels in the current WWE roster, King Corbin is quite a nice guy in real life. He shares the same love for pets as much as the other persons on this list and has a pet dog named Xander, and a unique pet in a Cockatiel called Meeko.
Meeko proved to be quite playful and also gets down to music whenever he gets the chance. Corbin is regular in posting updates about his pets and even shared a post of Meeko dancing to Highly Suspect.
3 Batista's Pitbulls
People perceive Pitbulls as the most ferocious breed of dogs, but in reality, they can be as calm and friendly as any common pet dog. But they could get a bit angry if people treat them the wrong way and end up getting abandoned.
Former 6-time WWE Champion and an established Hollywood star, Batista, rescued two such abandoned Pitbulls named Maggie and Ollie last year. The two furbabies are enjoying their new lives spoiled with Tempur-Pedic dog beds inside a large gated property with doggy doors all over the place.
2 The Rock's Frenchies
For such a big man, it's fascinating to know that The Rock owned a couple of small French Bulldogs. The Great One adopted the brothers back in 2016 and named them Hobbs and Brutus. They proved to be very playful right from the get-go and almost drowned in the pool before The Rock made the save.
Unfortunately, Brutus passed away within a few months after eating a poisonous mushroom. However, Hobbs is still around and even played a cameo in The Rock's movie Hobbs & Shaw. Hobbs sticks around his dad wherever he goes and likes to accompany him to the gym every day.
1 The Bella Twins' Winston and Josie
The Rock isn't the only wrestler with a couple of French Bulldog's as the Bella Twins' Winston and Josie stole the hearts of the fans in Total Bellas and the Bella Twins' YouTube channel. The playful dogs grew up spoiled and had the nicest parents they could ever wish for.
Winston spent time in John Cena's mansion and even took a piece out of the 16-time champion during playtime. Josie, on the other hand, loved to chase imaginary birds from a birdhouse hung up on a tree in Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella's backyard garden. They treated Josie as a part of the family, but unfortunately, she crossed the rainbow bridge last year.
