10 WWE Superstars who served in the Military

The warm connections that WWE has with the US Military are no secret. No matter how much criticism comes in the way of Vince McMahon, the way in which he supports the dedicated personnel in the military deserves a lot of appreciation. Almost the entire WWE Universe is aware of these tributes that WWE pays to the troops but how many of us know about the professional wrestlers who served for US Military?

A person deserves a lot of credit if he makes it into the payroll of WWE and deserves a whole lot more respect if he has a history of serving the Military. So in case you did not know, here are some of the superstars who spent time in the United States Military before earning their respect in the wrestling circuit.

#11 Honorable Mention: Mr. Kennedy

For the fans who don’t remember this guy, he was the one who used to shout his name twice from the microphone that dropped from the sky. The WWE management was firmly behind Kennedy during his stay in the company but thanks to the friction that he had with Randy Orton and John Cena, he soon dropped down the ranks and was released.

Before his WWE venture, Kennedy worked as a security officer in the Point Beach Nuclear Power plant and this paved way for his entry into the United States Army. He later left the army to take up wrestling as a profession and was groomed by none other than Paul Heyman, during his stay in the WWE developmental promotion.
