10 WWE Superstars that were once homeless

#2 Rich Swann

Not many people could have handled Swann’s early struggles

Another story that was well documented during the CWC was the tragic tale of Rich Swann’s early years.

Swann lost both of his parents at a young age, he was just 12 years old when his father was murdered and lost his mother to ill-health just 4 years later. It was after these devastating losses that he fell in with a rough crowd, became addicted to cocaine and was homeless for a period of time.

You would not guess this from the happy-go-lucky Rich Swann we see on ’205 Live’ every week nowadays. It’s quite incredible how he has turned his life around and is now working for the top wrestling company in the industry, it makes for a fascinating life story.
