9. Jake Roberts Was The First Wrestler Missy Hyatt Dated
Story: In the mid-80's, there were few female wrestling personalities more beautiful than Missy Hyatt. Breaking into the business and working for World Class Championship Wrestling, Hyatt quickly became a popular figure in the Texas-based promotion. It was whilst working for World Class that Missy met Jake Roberts. The man had been with the company a short while before she first entered the scene. Right off the bat, the pair hit it off, and became a couple shortly thereafter. The relationship wouldn't last, and Hyatt would become notorious for openly sleeping with various wrestlers. As the story goes, Jake Roberts was the first pro wrestler Missy Hyatt dated. Why People Believe It: Jake Roberts was already in World Class Championship Wrestling by the time Missy Hyatt made her debut. It's plausible that Roberts was one of the first men she met upon her arrival. Should We Believe it: In a word, no. Whilst Jake Roberts was likely one of the first men that Missy Hyatt dated in professional wrestling, he wasn't the first. That distinction would go to John Tatum, who was responsible for getting Missy hired in WCCW. As many wrestling fans know, Roberts wouldn't be the last!
