He appeared with World Championship Wrestling (WCW) under the ring names Hardbody Harrison and sometimes Hardbody Harris. In 2008, he was sentenced to life in prison for his part in a sex trafficking and forced labor ring.

Early life Harrison graduated from high school in Pensacola, Florida, after which he enlisted in the United States Army and saw action in Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm. He served as a platoon and motor sergeant, and received an honorable discharge in 1995.

In 1997, he made a couple of appearances for United States Wrestling Association in Tennessee.

On August 23, 2005, FBI agents served a search warrant and raided Harrison's two homes in Bartow County, Georgia. On October 18, 2005, he was arrested by the FBI on a nine count federal indictment for false imprisonment and trafficking women for commercial sex acts. On November 22, 2007, he was found guilty and convicted by a federal jury in Atlanta, Georgia on 24 counts related to keeping eight women as sex slaves. Charges included conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States, trafficking with respect to peonage and forced labor, sex trafficking, witness tampering, and obstructing an investigation.

During proceedings, for which he served as his own attorney, Harrison contended the women lived in his homes with his wife and child because they wanted to train as professional wrestlers, and that he had helped them quit drugs.
