Dog Bites Man

Pro Wrestler arrested:  http://www.aol.com/video/wwe-star-arrested-for-dui-drug-possession/517679942/?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdaily-buzz7%7Csec8_lnk2%7C273587

I was in Memphis one time and had an old black cab driver talk to me about the old days of Mid-South Wrestling and how he regularly would drive groups of 3 and 4 wrestlers around to bars while the wrestlers smoked marijuana and did cocacine in the cab.  He said that they were extremely good tippers (he thought perhaps inadvertently, but he almost got beat up one time when he attempted to return a $100 tip -- "You think I can't fucking afford to give you a tip?  Do you know who I AM!?!?!?"

Swagger's DUI and marijuana possession probably places him as the #5,000 worst legal offender amongst pro wrestlers in the past, say, 8 years.

How does that conversation with the cabby start? You sit in the cab and he asks "You look like a wrestling fan!"

I asked him what was going on in town, and he told me there was a pro wrestling match - so sort of - he obviously thought I looked like a wrestling fan.
