Everyone wanted a piece of Sunny back in the 90s. It’s no wonder Jerry Lawler was down bad...
During her stint in the WWF, she mainly worked managerial roles and quickly became
one of the company’s hottest attractions. But as the saying goes, looks can be deceiving.
Problems with drugs and alcohol would lead her into trouble with the law and I’m not
talking about a slap on the wrist... Sunny has been in and out of prison over a span
of nine-years and still counting. Some of her charges include: disorderly conduct, third
degree burglary, violating a protective order, driving under influence, driving under suspension,
parole violation, fleeing the scene of an accident, fugitive from justice, contempt
of court, eluding a police officer, contempt of a domestic violence restraining order,
and operating a motor vehicle during a second license suspension.
Booker T experienced tragedy at a young age, losing both of his parents by the age of 13.
With no role model to keep him out of trouble, Booker began mixing with the wrong crowd and
in 1987, he and his friends robbed 12 Wendy’s restaurants at gunpoint which landed him a
five-year prison sentence for armed robbery and aggravated assault. And we’ve all heard
the stories that go on in prison…
Joking aside, good behaviour allowed Booker to serve
just 19 months. He didn’t let his criminal past hold him back as he went on to become
a six-time world champion across WCW and WWE.
Nathan Jones competed in the WWE between 2002 and 2003, and was as intense as they come.
He first started off as The Undertaker’s protégé…
...before debuting as “The Colossus
of Boggo Road”, a title which referred to the time he spent behind bars in Boggo Road
Gaol maximum security prison. At the age of 20, Nathan Jones was sentenced to 16 years
for eight armed robberies he committed, and at one point, he even became one of Australia’s
most wanted criminals. He served seven years behind bars but it’s not like the WWE ever
mentioned it…
MVP was quite literally the MVP of the WWE in 2020. He was the brains behind the creation
of The Hurt Business...
...which catapulted Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander to tag team
Although business is booming for MVP
and Lashley as of now, the same can’t be said for MVP during his teenage years. He
joined a street gang at a young age which over time saw him commit armed robberies and
kidnapping. This landed him a hefty 18-and-a-half-year prison sentence from which he served 9-and-a-half
years.
Buck Zumhofe is a name you may not have heard of but maybe it’s for the best...
Zumhofe competed in the WWF during the 80s and 90s as an enhancement talent and was actually
Triple H’s first ever opponent during his WWF debut. He also was the first wrestler
to be put in a body bag by The Undertaker. It was also during the 80s where Zumhofe would
begin committing his sinister crimes.
In 1986, he was found guilty of sexual misconduct of
a minor. In 1989, he was jailed for 36 months for fourth degree sexual conduct with a minor
and in 2014, he was found guilty of two first-degree and two third-degree counts of criminal sexual
conduct on his own daughter. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
