14. Vader
The younger generation of the WWE Universe might know Vader as the old guy who went on Twitter to bully independent stars Will O’Spreay and Ricochet because he thought their match was a little too modern. What that generation may not be aware of is that Vader is actually a well-respected legend in the industry of professional wrestling. Known for his incredible athleticism at his 400-plus-pound size, he has captured the WCW World Heavyweight Championship on three occasions.
There is a lesser-told story from his past about how he was arrested during a WWE tour of Kuwait back in the 1990s for assaulting a television show host. The circumstances surrounding this situation were notable, however, for the fact that Vader was supposedly just roughhousing the guy (who had asked if wrestling is fake) and also wasn’t aware that Kuwait has strict laws regarding this type of thing. Vader was also arrested in 2002 for drunk driving and leaving the scene of an accident.
