The 12 longest wrestlers prison sentence of all time (With Pictures)

1. Douglas Whitton

This is probably the most horrific crimes ever committed by a professional wrestler and more resembles something out of a Stephen King novel than real life.

Douglas Whitton was a struggling independent professional wrestler and recovering alcoholic when he met the Reeves family at a Christian church. The devout family took pity on Whitton, who was having trouble getting back on his feet, and agreed to let him stay in their home. This proved to be a fatal mistake.

While staying in the home, Whitton murdered the entire family, which included a 9-year-old boy. During his trial, Whitton stated that he was in a blackout state when he murdered the family and therefore was not guilty. Unsurprisingly, this defense didn’t work and he was sentenced to life in prison in February 1999.
