Just a random question that popped in my head.
I'm a big enough nerd that I'd go eat at any of these if I were in the neighborhood.
Lawler has the place in Memphis he pretends to podcast from. Victoria/Lisa Marie has a place in Chi-Town. Steiner owns a Shonies in Ackworth, GA. I know JR used to have a place, but I believe it went belly up, and the same for Abdullah the Butcher's House of Hepatitis in Atlanta.
How many more are there that I'm missing?

There's Lucha Libre Taco Shop in San Diego, and there was a place called La Lucha in NYC, but unfortunately, it's closed. www.luchalibretacoshop.com/

Jimmy Hart has some kind of a tiki bar. There are a lot of lucha libre themed restaurants and taco trucks. Some even have a twitter. Seriously. Kabuki has his restaurant in Japan. Beyond that I’m not really sure.
I did get to WWF New York before it closed down. There was a pretty cool steel cage set up for part of the dining area. They had No Mercy 99 playing in the background. That was cool because we got to watch the entire Hardys vs Edge and Christian ladder match while we ate. The merch shop was meh. The food wasn’t that good and the service was bad. Plus there was a creepy restroom attendant that was waiting for you to finish so he could wash your hands for you for a tip. I said thanks but no thanks. I can wash my own hands.

If we go the Abdullah route and include any restaurants owned by a wrestler, and said place just happens to have a lot of the owners memorabilia or pictures on display, there's dozens of them, most we wont' ever really know even existed. Hell, Frances "Crybaby" Buxton from the old Global show on ESPN had one.

Not owned by anyone famous, just a cool little niche place.

Not owned by anyone famous, just a cool little niche place. From what I've heard, it actually is owned by a certain known wrestler, but I haven't seen this person promote it so it's either a cool rumor of they want it to be a silent thing. It is absolutely tremendous and where I watched NXT Takeover last Saturday. Definitely recommend the "Indie Smark Pork Nachoes."

If they're screening it, I'm going to be there. Seems like they can hold a lot, never heard of it being too crowded. Let me know if you roll through.

Lawler has 2 bar and grills. Went to the Beale street location last year. Decent food. Randy Hales was there. Took me a bit to realize who he was.
It is packed with stuff. At one of the Lula casino shows saw Jimmy Hart give Lawler a autographed megaphone for the bar.
Need to dig up my pics from when I went to the bar and grill.
Not sure if it is still open,but Outlaw JD McKay had a bar and grill in MS.

There's Lucha Cartel here in Philly. One of my favorite art pieces they have is a bunch os skate decks painted with a bunch of famous Luchadors as The Last Supper, with El Santo obviously front and center.
They used to have Chikara guys come out for events, but that hasn't happened in a minute.
Couple years ago I sat and watched an El Santo/Blue Demon movie there with the Osirian Portal and we all agreed that Generico should have ripped those off for a YouTube channel.

Just a random question that popped in my head. I'm a big enough nerd that I'd go eat at any of these if I were in the neighborhood.
Lawler has the place in Memphis he pretends to podcast from. Victoria/Lisa Marie has a place in Chi-Town. Steiner owns a Shonies in Ackworth, GA. I know JR used to have a place, but I believe it went belly up, and the same for Abdullah the Butcher's House of Hepatitis in Atlanta.
How many more are there that I'm missing?
That's been closed for more than a year

I wouldn’t want to catch hepatitis so Abdullah’s restaurant is out of the question for me.

(Yes, I know that one isn't endorsed by Cena. I don't care).
