Dean Ambrose has made it big as part of the WWE, after suffering an awful past.

#5. Booker T was orphaned before his teens

When you watch Booker T in 2019, with his huge smile and bubbly personality, you wouldn’t be blamed for thinking Booker had a nice normal childhood.

Surprisingly though, his story might be one of the worst on this list, with his nightmare beginning when Booker's father passed, when he was less than a year old, leaving Booker’s mother trying to raise eight children single-handedly.

When she passed, Booker was just 13, and quickly dropped out of high school, and fell into the wrong crowd.

It was that crowd, that robbed at least a dozen fast food restaurants in the early 80s, with Booker foolishly throwing away a paid job at Denny’s to become a criminal.

Serving 19 months, the future King of the Ring vowed to make himself better, an attitude he has carried every day, becoming a huge star in wrestling, a 5-time WCW Champion and a 2013 WWE Hall of Famer.
