10 Things you didn't know about Samoa Joe

#5 Samoa Joe worked as a mortgage broker

It's hard to imagine Samoa Joe in a suit and tie working his day job, but the truth is stranger than fiction.

Samoa Joe didn't just fall into pro wrestling immediately after high school. Like many others in his profession, he had to work a day job for a time before pro wrestling fame came calling.

While some might think Joe's job prior to wrestling would have involved athletics in some fashion, such as being a personal trainer or coach, the truth is he was a mortgage broker.

A mortgage broker is about as far away from pro wrestling as you can get. Joe's job was to speak with prospective clients about their housing needs and find a way for them to pay for a home via bank loans.

It's an unlikely career choice for a man who would eventually be known as a violent Samoan Submission Machine.
