According to WrestlingInc.com, former AWA star “Rock N Roll” Buck Zumhofe has been edited out of several recent additions to WWE Network’s “Hidden Gems” collection, which featured footage from holiday events held by the American Wrestling Association. Zumhofe being edited out of the footage is said to be due to serious charges that he is currently serving prison time for.
Zumhofe, who held the AWA World Light Heavyweight Championship on a total of three occasions, is currently imprisoned and serving a 25-year sentence on charges of criminal sexual conduct and escape.
Back in 1989, Zumhofe was sentenced to three years in prison on charges of engaging in sexual misconduct with a minor. Zumhofe was then arrested back in 2013 on a total of 12 counts of felony criminal sexual misconduct, all of which he was convicted of the following year.
The 2013 charges came following allegations that Zumhofe had sexually abused his daughter from June 1999 until June 2011.
It should be noted that Zumhofe continues to appear on other footage featured on WWE Network and that he was only edited out of recent footage as part of the “Hidden Gems” collection.
