A portion of interesting facts about wrestlers that you may not know
"Big White" Bodyguard
Before Seamus began to terrorize our eyes with his hilarious hair and beard, Seamus earned extra pennies by working as a personal bodyguard for the lead singer of U2, Bono. If these two teamed up in WWE, it could be guaranteed that they would become the most successful team of all time.
Jake "The Snake" Roberts has never won a WWE title.
Despite a very successful run in WWE from 1987 to 1992, several years in WCW, and a later return to WWE, Jake Roberts never won a major championship. Although he challenged Randy Savage, Honky Tonk Man and Ted DiBiase for the Intercontinental Belt, he never became a champion. It's almost hard to believe and seems like a huge mistake on WWE's part.
Shawn Michaels in Playgirl
Yes, the WWE legend and devout Christian once did a spread for Playgirl magazine in the 90s. When promoting Heartbreaker, WWE thought it would be a great idea for Shawn Michaels to appear in a well-known publication. Although he was not completely naked in the magazine, nevertheless, I am sure that many current grandmothers will be happy to open this spread and plunge into romantic memories, comfortably creaking in a rocking chair.
Wade Barrett was stabbed
Prior to becoming a professional wrestler,
Wade Barrett competed successfully as a barefoot boxer in Europe. After one match, in which Barret won, he was attacked by a mugger who threatened Barrett with a knife. Although Barrett did not specifically comment on the incident, it is reported that he received a 30 cm cut on his back and was taken to the hospital after severe blood loss. Oddly enough, the robber still managed to escape with the money.
