Was just reading about this incident from the dying days of the USWA on Bleacher Report...

Being arrested for not paying child support is hardly shocking or noteworthy.

Being arrested on the air while performing during a televised wrestling show?

That is shocking and noteworthy.

And that's exactly what happened to Billie Joe Travis.

Billie hadn't been paying his child support to his ex-wife for some time. At the time, however, he was working with the USWA in Memphis, Tenn. His ex-wife, knowing where he was, sent the police after him to arrest him. They arrived to take him into custody at the same time the June 21 show was being filmed in 1997.

Jerry "The King" Lawler, instead of deciding to edit the footage, used it as a part of the program. (You stay classy, Jerry.) This made "BJT" the only wrestler in American history to legitimately be arrested on a wrestling program. (Eat your heart out, Stone Cold.)
