Okay, guys, so today I want to talk about something a bit different from my usual gym stuff. It’s about Lisa Riddle. Now, I gotta admit, I mainly knew her as Matt Riddle’s wife, you know, the wrestler guy? But turns out, she’s way more than just a wife, and digging into her story was quite an experience.
So, I started like anyone would, just a quick search to see what’s up. First thing I learned? She was a gymnast! And not just any gymnast, a two-time All-American at LSU. Man, that’s some serious dedication right there. Imagine the hours of practice and all the hard work she had to put in. I mean, I struggle just to get to the gym three times a week! It’s impressive, to say the least.
Then, I went a bit further, you know how it is, just clicking around. I found out she’s also a former Olympic weightlifter! Can you believe that? From gymnastics to weightlifting, that’s a pretty cool switch. It just shows how much of an athlete she is. It’s not easy transitioning from one sport to another, especially at that level.
I also stumbled upon some numbers about her earnings. Some websites are saying she has a net worth of around a million dollars, which is amazing. They say she made about $30,000 a year as a gymnast. Thinking about it, that kind of money makes sense for an athlete of her caliber.
Life’s Ups and Downs
But, you know, life isn’t just about sports and money. As I read more, I realized Lisa’s life hasn’t been all sunshine and rainbows. Her marriage to Matt Riddle ended in 2022, after being together since 2011. I mean, that’s more than 10 years! Must have been tough going through that, especially when your life is somewhat in the public eye because of your partner’s fame.
Here’s something cool I found:
- They met before Matt Riddle was a big name in wrestling.
It is interesting, right? It makes you think about all the things they must have been through together, the good times and the bad. But hey, people grow apart sometimes, it’s just a part of life, I guess.
I got a little sidetracked and also checked on what Matt Riddle is up to these days. Looks like he’s back wrestling with Major League Wrestling. He even won a match against Jacob Fatu. Good for him, I guess. But this whole thing was more about figuring out who Lisa is, beyond being “Matt Riddle’s ex-wife.”
Honestly, after spending all this time reading about her, I have a newfound respect for Lisa Riddle. She’s a strong woman who has achieved a lot on her own, both as an athlete and, I’m sure, in her personal life. It’s a good reminder that there’s always more to people than meets the eye, and sometimes it’s worth taking the time to learn their stories.
