RIC FLAIR
Ric "The Nature Boy" Flair surrendered to
North Carolina cops on misdemeanor charges in November 2005 after being accused of throttling a fellow motorist during a road
rage incident. The 56-year-old Flair (real name: Richard Fliehr) was booked by the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office, where
the above mug shot was snapped. Flair, who allegedly grabbed a Charlotte man by the throat and kicked (and dented) the
guy's Toyota during the confrontation, posted $1000 bond and was released.
BROCK LESNAR
Brock Lesnar was once arrested for illegally
possessing steroids, though the felony charge against Brock was dismissed four months after his January 2001 arrest. Lesnar,
pictured in the below mug shot, was popped by Louisville Division of Police detectives after receiving and opening a parcel
that cops said contained a "large amount of steroids." Lesnar, a 295-pound former college wrestling champ, was in Kentucky
training at a WWE facility. Hit with a trafficking in controlled substances charge, Lesnar was exonerated when tests showed
that the seized pills were not, in fact, steroids. While a Louisville detective thought that the material was some kind of
growth hormone, Lesnar's defense attorney, Scott Cox, characterized the confiscated pills as a "vitamin type of thing." According
to Cox, officers seemed "very apologetic" when lab results cleared Lesnar. It is unclear how investigators concluded that
the parcel sent to Lesnar may have contained illicit substances.
"STONE COLD" STEVE AUSTIN
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin (real name: Steve
Williams) pleaded no contest in November 2002 to a misdemeanor charge of assaulting his then wife Debra during a
domestic dispute. The numbers on the wall apparently indicate the metric system used by the Bexar County (Texas) Sheriff's
office. Austin is about 6' 3", or 1.93 meters.
LEX LUGER
Lex Luger (real name: Lawrence Pfohl) was
arrested by Cobb County, Georgia cops in May 2003 after they found illegal bodybuilding drugs in his home while investigating
the death of his live-in girlfriend Elizabeth Hulette (Miss Elizabeth). The drug bust was the second time in two weeks that
Pfohl was nabbed by cops. He was arrested in April and charged with misdemeanor battery for allegedly striking Hulette during
a domestic dispute. The second mug shot is from that arrest.
THE BIG SHOW
Paul Wight, the 7'1'' 500-pound wrestling
star, was arrested in December 1998 by Memphis cops for allegedly exposing himself to a female motel employee. The criminal
case, though, was subsequently dropped due to insufficient evidence. Wight--then billed as The Giant--was in town for a World
Championship Wrestling (WCW) event. Wight, now known as The Big Show for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), which purchased
WCW in 2001.
BOOKER T
Booker T. (real name: Booker Tio Huffman)
was arrested in 1987 after committing several armed robberies of Wendy's restaurants in Houston (at the time, Booker flipped
burgers for the chain). Booker subsequently pleaded guilty and served 19 months in prison.
BILLY GUNN
Billy Gunn (real name: Monty Sopp) was
arrested by Florida cops in November 1990 for disorderly conduct. Sopp, who has rassled as "Bad Ass", "Mr. Ass", and "The
One", is best known playing half of the supposedly gay "Billy and Chuck" tag team duo. Sopp, now is back to being an Ass and
is the "on air" boyfriend of Playboy Centerfold Torrie Wilson.
EDDIE GUERRERO
Eduardo Guerrero (aka "Latino Heat")
was arrested by Hillsborough County, Florida sheriff's deputies in November 2001 and charged with driving under the influence.
Guerrero pleaded no contest to the DUI rap and was sentenced to probation and ordered to attend an alcohol education course.
ANDRE THE GIANT
Andre the Giant (aka Andre Roussimoff)
was arrested by the Linn County, Iowa sheriff in August 1989 and charged with assault after the 540-pound wrestler allegedly
roughed up a local TV cameraman.
