He had a disappointing one year run with the WWF, but was successful in many other promotions in the United States and Japan. Slater made headlines in 2004 when he was convicted of attacking his girlfriend with a butcher knife. He later labeled the attack as being drug related while stating that he had no recollection of the incident. Slater was eventually sentenced to one year of house arrest and two years probation.<\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-2126661201\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1773,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,2],"tags":[2440],"class_list":["post-46912","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-misc_news","category-newsticker","tag-dick-slater"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
