Sam Houston
Real name: Michael Smith
Hometown: Waco, TX
Membership: Superstars
A.K.A.: Midnight Rider
Finisher: Half-Boston Crab
Background: Sometimes you can't outrun your past. When your old man was a bastard and your older brother was Jake "the Snake" Roberts, well, the decks are kind of against you. Most reckon that was Michael Smith renamed himself after the greatest of all Texans and devoted his life to doing good.
Didn't help much. His daddy had strength and his older brother had the gift of gab. Houston had heart but heart only carries you so far. He joined the Superstars but mostly served as a glorified training dummy. He retired in 1991 and that was all they wrote.
