Personal Life
Tuft is married to Priscilla Tuft; they have one daughter, Mia. He is good friends with fellow wrestler Curt Hawkins.
On January 14, 2010, Tuft was involved in an incident on an airplane in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Minutes before takeoff, he complained to the flight crew that he observed strange movement on the flaps of the wings, and caused panic among other passengers by claiming that the plane was unsafe. He demanded to be de-boarded, and stated that "if anyone else on the plane doesn't want to die then they should get off the plane too". The pilot decided not to take any chances with him disrupting the flight or distressing the passengers, so they returned to the terminal and escorted him off the plane. The flight was then delayed, which annoyed many WWE employees.
After his retirement from wrestling, Tuft announced in November 2012 that he would be undergoing a digital marketing initiative called "Local Promoter 2.0.", which is designed to give independent wrestling promoters, MMA promoters, and general fight promoters more information to work with to specifically target potential customers.

“He hadn’t known me fifteen minutes, and yet he was ... ready to talk ... I was still to learn that Munshin, like many people from the capital, could talk openly about his personal life while remaining a dream of espionage in his business operations.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
