His alias was coined by Jesse “The Body” Ventura even though Gene was actually considered to be very nice in the ring. The 75-year-old had two kidney transplants, and one of them was given to him by his wife. Hulk Hogan inducted him into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2006. Gene is signed to a lifetime contract and occasionally appears in television. Together with comedian Kevin Hart, he appeared on a Mountain Dew Kickstart commercial in 2018.
