WWE Wrestler Arrested

[Troy]

Jimmy Uso was arrested yesterday before 1 p.m. in Hillsborough County, FL yesterday and charged with driving under the influence. He was released on a $500 bond shortly after 3 p.m. later that day. This is his second arrest as he was arrested on 9/29/2011 for suspicion of DUI.

Not the brightest guy in the world. Can't afford something like this when you are a fringe performer and you really can't afford a second offence. Would be on pretty thin ice after this.

Now they're going to get buried and taken off of TV ...

 

[John McHenry]

Not really even worth reporting it's like if they reported JTG was being removed from TV

 

[Cwalker]

As said, not too much can change in terms of his position in the company.

In a related note, why the hell do all these wrestlers drve drunk? Do they not learn?

 

[Troy]

Still worth reporting since they are on television every now and then and since this is a second offence it could lead to his release. They have been used a lot less since his first arrest and this is just going to hurt them even more. Pretty unfortunate for his brother who hasn't done anything wrong yet will get caught up in it again.

 

[John McHenry]

Some other wrestler calls them and tells them if they can get to the show first they get to be on tv?

Most likely had a few beers with the boys after a show and was on his way to the hotel. Happens alot. Not wrestling exclusive.

Edit: Just reread the story and realized it said 1 pm. And must've still been half cut. And I'm pretty sure alot of us have been there, had a good night, and woke up too and found out you had shit to do, and you scramble around still half in the bag. Happens alot.

Update

The following statement has been issued to WZ by Jonathon Fatu's legal representative Keith M. Goan:

Please accept this correspondence as a notice of correction as it relates to the recent arrest of Jonathon Fatu [aka WWE superstar Jimmy Uso]. As many of you have reported Mr. Fatu was charged with a DUI in 2012. He plead No Contest to said charge and was placed on probation. He completed the terms and conditions of his probation as directed by the Court. While waiting for the termination of said probation to take effect, he was erroneously cited for driving on a suspended license and an affidavit of violation of probation was filed.

This most recent "arrest" derived from Mr. Fatu turning himself in to the Hillsborough County Jail allowing for the warrant to be set aside. This arrest was not a second DUI as is being falsely reported. We are extremely confident that once we get on the Court's docket, Mr. Fatu's probation will be terminated and the citation for driving on a suspended license will be dismissed.
​

So not as bad as first reported.

Hard to believe he even has money to buy alcohol.

I know, he's just worthless. I didn't even know he was still with the company.

 

[Rated R Superstar]

Well there goes his WWE Championship match at Wrestlemania 30.

I think him and his brother are good hands, and could anchor the tag team division, if Triple H is as old school as being reported, tag team wrestling could make a good comeback.

 

[Rated R Superstar]

They'd definitely be a great team to help bring the division up. From what little I have seen from them, they seem like a pretty decent tag team.

 

[Tapout]

I always wondered why the Uso's never got a proper title push. They came in kind of strong but fizzled out pretty fast.

Should have gotten the title push that Epico and Primo got. They would have handled it a lot better.
