7 Professions WWE Superstars May Have Portrayed Incorrectly

Within the United States, being an on-the-books garbageman is actually a pretty good gig. Sure, you are handling trash -- sometimes people call it "waste management" for the sake of semantics -- yet generally this profession is union-oriented and carries both steady pay and great benefits. You may have to ride on the back of a truck within harsh weather conditions. But your working hours and job description are both clearly defined.

Duke "The Dumpster" Droese -- who was notably number 500 within the PWI 500 in 1992 -- was often billed as being from "the garbage heaps of Mt. Trashmore, Florida" within his ring entrance. His ring attire looked relatively authentic as to what a garbageman would wear on the job, although he did not wrestle with gloves on.

However, it is unclear as to why Droese would be attempting to throw a garbage can over any sort of building, as seen within this 1994 WWE vignette. Refuse collectors are supposed to leave trash receptacles where they were found after being emptied. Also, garbagemen don't bring a garbage can with them to their job; Droese generally brought one with him to the ring, often part of post-match shenanigans. Garbagemen -- in civilized parts of the United States, at least -- simply empty trash receptacles into a bag or larger container, put it down, and ultimately dispose of the trash collection.
