10 Wrestlers Who Committed Disturbing Crimes

2. Hardbody Harrison - Sexual Slavery

As a trainee at WCW's Power Plant in the '90s, it was predetermined that Hardbody Harrison would be a well-defined, wooden worker with limited upward potential. And so it came to be.

Appearing for WCW from 1995 until 1999, Harrison was a semi-regular enhancement talent, but the lack of career potential didn't sit well with Hardbody.

In 2000, Harrison joined Sonny Onoo among others in filing a racial discrimination lawsuit against WCW's parent company AOL Time Warner.

As was typical with litigation, AOL settled out of court and paid Harrison a sizable sum for his troubles..

However, Hardbody's thirst for money wouldn't end there.

In 2007, Harrison was convicted on charges of keeping eight women as sex slaves in his home.

Hardbody's victims claimed they were forced to complete a multitude of tasks and chores in addition to being pimped out to clubs, trailer parks and parties, and were forced to have sex with up to eight men at a time.

Presumably given his previous victory, Harrison decided to act as his own attorney.

Contending that the women simply lived with him and his wife as part of a benevolent scheme he had initiated to help them quit drugs, Harrison was unable to convince anyone of his story and was instead sentenced to life in prison.
