10 Things We Learned From Charles Robinson On 'Talk Is Jericho'

10. Charles Robinson Spent 6 Years In The Navy

Despite being an absolutely fanatical professional wrestling fan from a young age, Charles Robinson believed he had neither the size or the ability to make in the industry. As such, he did what any self-respecting 5ft 6in man would do and joined the Navy. 

Robinson was in the navy for six long years, a tenure that would see him spend three months at a time submerged underwater. He remembers it being pretty boring, and that a lot of movies were watched. Whilst this may sound fairly hunky and ever so slightly dory, one must remember that this was the 1980s, and the Cold War was very much still a thing.

The submarines were equipped with Poseidon missiles, and their job was to head to the waters outside Russia and simply wait. Thankfully nothing ever came of it, with the only missiles every being shot being done so on practice drills in the Bahamas. Even so, spending three months underwater on a boat with 140 guys does not sound like my idea of fun.
