Sal never had a real wrestling career!

This article was last updated by on

The undefeated/retired professional wrestler, Cousin Sal, has a wife, Melissa, with whom he has shared over two decades of his life, with August 18 marking their 23rd anniversary.

Sal Iacono, widely known as “Cousin Sal,” is not actually a retired professional wrestler.

He is often humorously referred to as an “undefeated/retired professional wrestler”, particularly in his social media bios.

In reality, Sal Iacono, an American comedian, writer, podcaster, and game show host, and his wrestler title is part of his comedic persona rather than an actual wrestling career.

However, Cousin Sal once made an appearance in a storyline of WWE SmackDown in 2008 with Santino Marella, who mocked “Roddy Piper” and involved “Jimmy Kimmel”.

Cousin Sal and Melissa’s journey began in 1999, when they started dating. Their relationship took a step forward in 2002 when they tied the knot.

The couple resides near Los Angeles, where they have built a family of five, consisting of three sons, Archie, Harrison, and Jack, who are often mentioned in Sal’s public appearances and social media posts.

Both Sal and his wife, Melissa, seem to have enjoyed a happy married life for over 20 years, with this August 18 marking their anniversary.

It is evident that they are living a joyful life, with Sal pursuing his television career and Melissa building her own path in the artistic field, most probably as a writer.

Although Melissa’s personal details are not publicly mentioned, according to Cousin Sal’s profile, she appears to be a loving wife and mother.

While both Cousin Sal and Melissa seem to be living happy lives together, Sal appears to be growing professionally in his podcasting and TV hosting career.
