Here we can post some information that may shock you and may come to a suprise to you about professional wrestlers.

Here is one I didnt know:

Quote:

In the latest issue of Playboy Magazine there is an interview with American Idol judge Simon Cowell and the interviewer asks about Cowell signing the Undertaker back in the early 90s to his music label. Cowell says that he didn't sign 'Taker because he knew anything how to sing but because "if he can sell 82,000 stadium seats, he could sell thousands of records." Cowell being from England, he was referring to SummerSlam where over 82,000 people where in attendance. (thanks to Colin Vassallo)

Interesting I didnt knew Taker singed, but theres always a first

The PoughkeepsieJournal has an article up with WWE Smackdown superstar, MVP. MVP whose real name is Antonio Banks, served 9 years of an 18 year sentence in prison for armed robbery and kidnapping in Florida.

"I grew up in Miami with a single mom. My father was around, but I didn't have as much interaction in my life as I needed. I used to run the streets with gangs and guns and robberies. I made a lot of bad decisions. And one of those decisions got me 9 1/2 years in prison."

Well, I didn't know that. Definetly suprised me seeing that.....

Cool, thanks for sharing. I didn't know DDP was even involved in the WWE before his WCW days. I know he used to be a manager before he was a wrestler, but that was about all.

Well, it was a one time appearance, since he was the owner of the cadillac, I guess he did not wanted anyone else driving it to the ring.

Also another one: Dino Bravo was actually arrested once in the Montreal, Quebec, Canada area, and he was so strong he actually broke his handcuffs.
