I think wrestlers get so consumed in the lifestyle that it's all they know. Andre the Giant worked consistently from late 87 until 1990 working a full House Show schedule. Dude was wrestling Big John Studd in high school gyms in 1989. The reason was because he loved being around the boys so much. Poor financial decisions play a part as well.
