He endured a harsh childhood, where his father abused his mother regularly and abused him as well if he intervened, he states. According to Norris, he joined the United States Army but was later discharged due to striking his captain over viewing his orders as "kind of cowardly." After retiring, he returned to college and earned a degree in criminology from Huston–Tillotson University. In July 2016, Norris was named part of a class action lawsuit filed against WWE which alleged that wrestlers incurred traumatic brain injuries during their tenure and that the company concealed the risks of injury. The suit was litigated by attorney Konstantine Kyros, who has been involved in a number of other lawsuits against WWE. US District Judge Vanessa Lynne Bryant dismissed the lawsuit in September 2018.
