#3 Before wrestling, Booker T. robbed nine restaurants
Many people have a troubled youth before gaining adulthood and accomplishing great things. Former US president George W. Bush was arrested for drunk driving and drug possession before cleaning up his act and entering politics. Robert Downey Jr. had numerous run-ins with the law until he became clean and sober and landed the role of a lifetime with Iron Man.
And Booker T spend some time in prison for a string of robberies before getting his life together and becoming the former champion we know and love.

In his teenage years, Booker T took a part-time job at a fast food restaurant chain. The sly and wily Booker T realized he had insider knowledge and could use that to successfully rob other restaurants in the chain.
He and his cohorts even wore their fast food uniforms during the robbery. Eventually, they were caught and convicted, and Booker T was sentenced to five years in jail. He only served some of his jail-sentence before getting off for good behavior.
Booker T. turned his life around and never looked back, but it's a wild and crazy story from real life WWE history.
