5 Things you didn't know about Corey Graves

#4 Security for Rock bands

Graves with Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor.

Graves is one of the more prominent metal aficionados in the WWE. He is a regular at rock and metals shows and has stated in the past that Tool and A Perfect Circle are some of his favorite bands. Graves, though, got closer to the rockstars than most fans may ever get.

He was employed by a promotional company in Pittsburg that offered security services to rock bands such as Social Distortion and Megadeth. His job description wasn't as exciting as you may think.

All he did was to take the musicians from the tour bus to the arena. Sounds simple enough? Nope. Imagine having to escort musicians through a boisterous bunch of fans. Graves didn't like the job all too much despite the fact that he had the look that makes for an intimidating security guard. Thankfully his wrestling career took off and the rest as they say etc.etc.

An honorable mention before we got to the last slide. His brother Sam Adonis is also a pro wrestler who is quite possibly one of the most despised names in the Mexican wrestling scene. Go check him out...
