#1. Former WWE Champion Randy Orton worked at a gas station

Randy Orton came to WWE after a career in the Marines.

Knowing the hardships that came with a professional wrestling career, his parents tried to keep Orton away from the business. After graduating, The Viper joined The Marines. But it wasn't something he enjoyed, and he received a bad conduct discharge in 1999.

After leaving the Marines, Orton worked night shifts at a gas station near his home in St. Louis, Missouri, in order to keep the money coming in.

He was later offered a contract by WWE because of the family connections to the business. But at the time that he was signed, Orton wasn't a fully-trained wrestler. The Legend Killer was then trained by his father Bob Orton for several years and later went on to debut on WWE TV in 2002.
