Sam Houston, is a notable name in the pro-wrestling business. Having wrestled in both WWE and WCW, along with several other promotions in his lifetime, he has certainly left his mark in the industry. He is currently semi-retired, wrestling only a few matches a year at times.
On this week's episode of Sportskeeda's UnSKripted, Houston was asked about his most prized memorabilia, to which he brought out a cardboard belt that was given to him by Bill Apter.

"I mean this is something special for me. I mean not everybody gets a Bill Apter title. And then when I lost everything in the floods in 2016, floods in South Louisiana, I am sitting up in North Texas on Christmas morning and all I had was my wrestling boots, a pack of cigarettes, this belt... And I was happy. And I kept this with me." [5:10 onwards]
Sam Houston recently came out on top in his fight against cancer. It remains to be seen what is next for him down the line.

Shubhajit is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda, reporting on WWE news. He has a Master's degree in English and has been working in his current role for over 2 years.
A fan of pro wrestling since childhood, Shubhajit decided to start creating content on the sport out of passion. Before covering a piece of news or rumor, he conducts thorough research, ensuring information in his work is reliable and completely accurate.
Although Shubhajit admires numerous pro wrestlers, his current favorite is WWE superstar Drew McIntyre. He is fond of The Scottish Warrior’s character work and innovative quips.
If there is one storyline he can work on in WWE, Shubhajit would book Roman Reigns’ future with The Bloodline following WrestleMania XL, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former. After Reigns’ exit from the faction, Shubhajit would portray him as an anti-hero trying hard to claw his way back up to the top.
Apart from reporting on pro wrestling, Shubhajit enjoys competitive gaming and reading.
