He was part of the WWE for two years and became the first man to be the legend Triple H.
But the 56-year-old, whose real name is Michael Droese, has now been charged with one counting of attempted for worsened sexual exploitation of a minor.
Reports suggest that he tried to buy the indecent material using cryptocurrency.
But Coinbase intercepted and marked it with the FBI.
Attorney General Chris Stanford of the 31st judicial district of Tennessee said in a statement: “Merchant for sexual violence to children is a worsened crime.
“The money used to buy the material is what makes the material of sexual abuse of children still profitable for criminal companies that produce and sell all over the world.
“However, because Mr Droese was not successful in securing the material of sexual violence that he intended to buy, the indictment becomes a criminal attempt.
“The decision was therefore made to accuse one count of attempted aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor.”
Dose has since been released on bail.
And he could supposedly be confronted for two to four years in prison.
Despite leaving WWE in 1996, he returned to Wrestlemania 17 in 2001.
He was last in the Ring two years ago as part of Major League Wrestling.
