5 former WWE Superstars you may not know served in the U.S military

#2. Former WWE Superstar Raven

Former WWE Superstar Raven has also served in the United States military. As a young man, Raven was looking for an action-packed job.

"My two childhood dreams were becoming a professional wrestler and joining the CIA, because I thought that would be the most action-packed adventure job you could find," he told RAW Magazine in 2002.

Preparing himself to become a CIA agent, Raven joined the University of Delaware to study criminal justice. However, during his college days, he decided to give another action-packed job a try.

The 57-year-old enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and went through basic training. The former WWE Superstar also served in the reserves after college.

Raven later decided to ditch his dreams of becoming a CIA agent. Instead, he pursued a career in pro wrestling. He competed in many promotions throughout his career, including WCW, ECW, TNA, and WWE.

The 57-year-old had two short stints in WWE. His first WWE run lasted for nearly a year between 1993 and 1994. He returned to the company six years later to win the Hardcore Title 27 times. Nonetheless, WWE released him from his contract in January 2003.
