Merced Solis, 50, gained fame as good-guy wrestler Tito Santana during the late 1970s through early 1990s.
Wrestling helped give Solis and his family financial stability by the time he retired from the WWE in 1993, but Solis was by no means content with sitting at home.
Solis said he gets a kick out of his students recognizing him from being on television, but added that he rarely brings up his wrestling background in the classroom and sticks to teaching the subject at hand.

That dramatic composition still entertained the scanty leisure of Tirso's old age is shown by the fact that the fragmentary autograph copy of Las Quinas de Portugal is dated the 8th of March 1638; but his active career as a dramatist ended two years earlier.
As official chronicler of his order, he compiled the elaborate Historia de la merced, which occupied him till the 24th of December 1639, and still survives in manuscript.
As a tribute to the count de Sastago, who had accepted the dedication of the fourth part of the plays, and who had probably helped to defray the publishing expenses, Tirso de Molina is said to have compiled the Genealogia de la casa de Sastago (1640), but the ascription of this genealogical work is disputed.
