The world of professional wrestling has always been a haven for outlaws, rebels, and outcasts who sometimes just couldn't fit in the real world. Before the WWE monopoly, wrestlers were notorious for partying all night long, waking up for the gym with three hours of sleep, wrestling 20 minutes and then hitting the bars to start all over again. Unsurprisingly, this business can sometimes attract those with rather unsavory pasts. With no real requirement to be a professional wrestler other than a willingness to beat yourself up, people who have ran into trouble with the law can find gainful employment in the world of professional wrestling. Some of the more popular wrestlers in recent memory have actually ran into trouble with the law quite frequently. Some extremely popular performers even served long jail sentences before they became wrestlers and are hoping that no one brings their past up in interviews. Some of the names of this list may surprise you and others may not but one thing is for sure, each of these men were innocent until proven guilty and all wished these events never happened.
