12 celebrities with shocking ties to organized crime (With Pictures)

7. Dino Bravo – Canadian Black Market

Pro Wrestler Adolfo Bresciano, better known as Dino Bravo, was heavily identified with Canada. Called “Canada’s Strongest Man,” I remember watching Bravo battle the Ultimate Warrior for the Intercontinental belt when I was kid, Bravo decked out in his Canadian Fleur-de-Lis.  Bravo was a former WWF tag team champion and WWF Canadian champion, but never made a huge impact in the WWE like Bret Hart or Hulk Hogan.

In Canada, he was allegedly involved in the black market cigarette trade. His uncle was a mob boss in Canada, which may have accounted for Bravo’s connection to organized crime. Bravo’s story doesn’t end well, as he was brutally gunned down by an unknown party in 1993.
