Booker T had a hard time growing up as he lost both his parents by the age of 14. During
his younger years, he worked for American fast food restaurant Wendy’s for 2 and a
half years but the wage he was on wasn’t really cutting it for him. This is when Booker
T (alongside his partners) decided to stage a series of armed robberies at different Wendy’s
stores, wearing their work uniforms as disguises. Because of the perpetrator’s uniforms and
familiarity with the fast food chain's operations, police suspected the robberies were inside
jobs so it was to this knowledge that Booker T was found guilty of committing this crime.
Consequently, Booker T was found guilty of two aggravated counts of robbery and was sentenced
to 5 years in prison. He served 19 months in prison before being released on parole.
In 1983, Scott Hall was charged with second degree murder after fatally shooting a man
in the head with a gun. Although this crime was acted in self-defence (according to Scott
Hall himself), the memory of what happened on that fateful day has “burned in his brain”
as Scott Hall recalled the incident in a 2011 interview for ESPN. In 1983, Hall was working
as a bartender at a stripclub when he became involved in a heated dispute over a girl.
The man who Scott Hall went on to kill smashed all of Scott Hall’s windows out of his car.
This angered Hall who found out about this and he went on to confront the man. He recalled
himself drilling the guy to the floor when he noticed the man’s shirt up, revealing
a gun that he reached for. They wrestled around for the gun until Hall managed to take it
and he shot the man in the head. Hall was charged with second degree murder but the
charges were dropped due to lack of evidence.
The most famous murder trial of a WWE wrestler goes to that of Chris Benoit. In 2007, Chris
Benoit killed his wife Nancy Benoit and strangled his 7-year-old son, Daniel Benoit before hanging
himself in his weight room. There are many conspiracy theories suggesting how Benoit
was framed for these murders but I’m not going to go into any of these. Benoit’s
wife Nancy was found wrapped in a towel with blood under her head and his son Daniel was
found in his bed. They both died from asphyxiation. It was after these two murders that Benoit
left a voicemail to Chavo Guerrero. Chavo Guerrero called Benoit after hearing the voicemail
and noticed that Benoit sounded tired and groggy. He proceeded to call Benoit again
after their phone call ended due to concerns with Benoit’s tone and demeanour. Benoit
called Chavo back after he missed his initial call. The conversation ended with Benoit saying:
“I love you, Chavo.” Benoit placed copies of the Bible alongside the bodies of his wife
and son, as well as a third Bible on his weight lifting machine. Benoit then committed suicide
in his weight room, using a weight lifting machine to break his own neck. There was a
note found in the Bible which said: “I’m preparing to leave this Earth.” The search
history on Benoit's computer showed he had researched "the quickest and easiest way to
break a neck".
Johnny K-9 is a wrestler who worked briefly for the WWF during the 1980s. He wrestled
in many tag team matches but his biggest match in the WWF was against Hulk Hogan. Outside
of the ring, Johnny K-9 is famous for his history of legal problems. He was the leader
of a motorcycle gang known as: Satan’s Choice Motorcycle Gang. One of the crimes the gang
committed was blowing up a police station using a bomb which caused $133,000 in damages.
However, Johnny K-9’s most famous encounter with the law was when he was charged with
first-degree murder and two counts of conspiracy to commit murder. He murdered a lawyer and
her husband but the investigation against him collapsed after a long preliminary hearing.
In early 2011, Johnny K-9 was charged with yet another first degree murder and attempted
murder. In 2013, he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder, and the murder charges were
stayed. He was sentenced to 13 years in prison, which was reduced to four years and eight
months after factoring in time served.
Many of you might not know who Hardbody Harrison is and that’s fair enough because he worked
as a jobber for WCW back in 1995. He appeared on WCW Monday Nitro as well as 1997’s Starrcade
but he was never a major name in the business. However, in 2007 he was convicted on charges
related to keeping eight women as sex slaves in two homes he owned in Georgia. Harrison
claimed the women were living in his home willingly along with his wife and child because
they were training as professional wrestlers and that he helped them quit drugs. A few
of the women ended up going to the police which saw Harrison being charged with aggravated
sexual abuse, forced labour, sex trafficking, and witness tampering. Upon conviction, Harrison
was sentenced to life in prison.
