Favorite story about a wrestler getting arrested

[OVO 40 hunched over like he 80]

I gotta go with the cops finding cocaine in Brutus Beefcake's locker at his work then mistaken it for anthrax.

Also Ken Patera and Mr Saito throwing a boulder through a McDonald's window and fighting with the police.

Lastly Juventud Guerrera yelling that he was god and doing wrestling spots to police officers in Australia.

[The Sam]

Barbarian being taken in by 6 police officers with mace and billy clubs, and the next day apologizing to his wife as she dragged him out of the cell by his ears.

Not a wrestler, but UWF promoter Herb Abrams:

Before his death, while high on cocaine, Abrams was found naked and covered in a "vaseline" type substance, destroying furniture with a baseball bat in his New York office. He was in the company of prostitutes at the time. Not long afterwards, he died while in police custody, of a heart attack. He had cocaine stuck all over his body when he died.

Psicosis asked to borrow someone's car. The owner wouldn't let him so Psicosis stole the car at gun point. After a police chase and crashing into several other vehicles, he is arrested. It turns out he had used a water gun. All this while under WWE contract.

Yeeeerrrrrrr Faaaaaahrrd!

Ken Patera

Especially after Mean Gene described him as a "hungry Ken Patera"

My answer was Ken Patera before I read this. What a way to go out!

Police showing up at a live Memphis taping to arrest Billy Joe Travis for a domestic/support situation, and Lawler talking them into waiting until his screentime to do it, hoping to make an angle out of the whole thing. Travis ended up getting arrested, handcuffed and led out of the arena on live TV.

That might be the most Memphis territory thing I have ever read.

This thread is amazing.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

Sunny somehow getting arrested five times in one month.

If only ol' Herb had started his fatal coke-fuelled, Vaseline-covered, furniture-smashing, prostitute orgy in Memphis. Such a missed opportunity.

Scott Steiner because I can imagine it going something like this:

"YOU THINK YOU CAN ARREST THE MAN WITH THE LARGEST ARMS IN THE WORLD? THERE'S A 33.3% CHANCE THAT THOSE HANDCUFFS WON'T FIT AROUND THESE PEAKS! HEH! HEH!"

Technically they didn't got arrested, but Cornette once told a story that in the Crockett territory, the police used to prank the wrestlers by handcuffing them in the locker room, and the guys then yelled "I didn't knew she was 15!".

Also, I'm not sure if this one is true or not, but allegedly Chris Champion once got arrested while wearing a teenage mutant ninja turtle costume.

Back in the late 1990's, due to Big Boss Man's resemblance to a criminal featured on "America's Most Wanted". Tons of people thought that it was in fact Ray Traylor, and called in to report that he could be found working for the WWF.

Bossman didn't get arrested, but it's one of my favorite old "news" stories.

Kurt Angle getting arrested for [insert DUI # here] and when the cops showed up at his door Kurt opened his mouth and pills came falling out.


At this point I can't remember if that happened exactly or if my buddies and I have twisted the story over the years but it still makes me laugh.

[Joe Neglia]

I wish I could remember enough to keep the two incidents straight, but the Mr. Saito/McDonalds incident and a Haku/Meng arrest both ended up with similar police reports about "the mace just seemed to upset him" - I believe it was the Haku one where he just kept snapping off the handcuffs they put on him. And dunno if it was the same incident, but Barbarian told the cops to let him talk to Haku to calm him down in order to keep him from hurting them all when he resisted. I *really* wish I could remember and keep straight the details of all of that.

The one I know is that Kurt said in his rf shoot, that he got arrested because he was driving while talking to Russo about creative, and that he was charged with a DUI because he only had one beer...what a bunch of bullshit.

Seeing practically every FCW wrestler getting a DUI in a very short time frame.
