so be sure to subscribe to our channel
and ring the bell to get notified about
our latest videos for this list will be
ranking the most shocking surprising or
unbelievable stories which allegedly
took place behind the curtain all on the
road for WB Superstars and staff we
realize some of these incidents are
being relayed secondhand with the truth
sometimes lurking in between one
person’s story and the other but at the
same time we just can’t resist dishing
out a little bit of the Deut number 10
brett screws the boss most WB fans are
well versed with what happened between
Bret the Hitman Hart and the company
during the Montreal Screwjob incident
perhaps less well known is what
reportedly went on backstage after the
show was over Hart didn’t immediately
leave the venue instead heading back to
the locker room to pack up his gear the
most incentive backstage area was a
massive confusion
and heated tempers and this only got
worse when Vince McMahon attempted to
speak with hearts in the latter’s
dressing room words were exchanged and
punches were thrown
leaving Vince McMahon with a black eye
and a sprained ankle for his trouble
number 9
Owen gets one over on Amazon sin’ Owen
Hart was one of the Dodie’s most beloved
icons an incredible talent who was taken
from us far too soon some may not
realize though that Owens usually
serious on-screen persona belied the
heart of a prankster as the King of
Hearts was well known backstage for his
propensity for practical jokes one such
incident was concocted alongside his
brother-in-law Davey Boy Smith of the
British bulldogs against fellow
superstar Ahmed Johnson they called
Johnson pretending to be with The
Tonight Show inviting him on to be a
guest Johnson reportedly fell hook line
and sinker for the gang
only
to be left hanging when the limo he
thought was coming for him never arrived
number eight Jericho versus Goldberg if
there’s one thing about Chris Jericho we
love it’s the man’s absolute
fearlessness in the face of danger sure
the pro wrestling great is a showstopper
inside the ring but Jericho’s toughness
doesn’t stop there as he’s also been
known to stand toe-to-toe with the boys
backstage case in point the time Jericho
reportedly mix it up with Bill Goldberg
backstage during a taping of Monday
Night Raw Chris mainly downplayed the
incident when relaying it during an
appearance on the Bubba the Love Sponge
Show saying that he / Goldberg in a
front facelock after Bill badmouth
Jericho’s performance during that
night’s main event now boys
can’t we all just get along number seven
don’t mess with the Deadman the other
take her often had the final word when
it came to deciding any backstage WV
arguments Melton serving as judge and
jury for what became known as wrestlers
court the Deadman commands respect with
his words or threats having just a bit
more weight than the average curtain
jerker an example of this sentiment
reportedly occurred backstage at
WrestleMania 14 when Undertaker was
making it known that Shawn Michaels
should drop his title to Stone Cold
Steve Austin that night without any
shenanigans similar to that of the
Montreal Screwjob although Shawn states
that big evil never said these things to
his face we’re glad neither men had to
find out the hard way number 6 nobody
likes them is today The Miz is a fixture
endeavor to be a decent in-ring
performer with tremendous skill on the
mic this wasn’t always the case however
with them is actually enduring a ton of
hazing and backstage Heat during his
early years with the company the other
superstars reportedly didn’t take too
kindly to its reality show background
seeing his presence as an insult to the
hot wig they had put in travelling and
scrounging in the territories was this
the Misses fault no but that didn’t stop
superstars such as Chris Benoit from
taking their frustration out on
reportedly banishing miss from the
locker room and making him change you
outside
number five Kofi wrestles Vince sure
many of us made a dream about fighting
our bosses during a particularly bad day
at wick but we don’t actually go through
with it
not so with WB superstar Kofi Kingston
who was goaded into confronting Vince
McMahon after an alcohol-fueled plane
ride Chris Jericho detailed a story in
his book best in the world at what I
have no idea about convincing Kingston
to stand up to McMahon after Vince
reportedly told Kofi
maybe you’ll get over one of these days
the result was a verbal standoff and a
quick tussle in the airplane much to the
alleged delight of Vince who seemed to
love the physical distraction wrestling
is weird
number four JBL and Justin Roberts
the details behind John Bradshaw
Layfield bad boy and sometimes bullying
behavior behind the scenes has been
well-documented over the years such as
the stories of JBL sneaking behind new
talent in the shower to soak them up a
more troubling accusation was laid at
Bradshaw by former WBA announcer Justin
Roberts who claimed in his book best
seat in the house that JBL organized the
theft of his passport during a trip to
the UK this resulted in Roberts being
forced to have new paperwork drawn up at
the US Embassy flying back alone and
somehow meeting the crew at their
scheduled Smackdown taping in Arizona
doesn’t sound like much fun to us number
three and the revenge of Joey Styles we
have more JBL shenanigans here with the
next story on our list this time dealing
with yet another broadcast commentator
the voice of ECW Joey Styles it was
reportedly on another trip for the
company this time to Iraq when branch or
pushed the industry veteran stars just a
little too far witnesses stated that
relentless hazing buying JBL eventually
led to a physical confrontation between
the pair which was eventually separated
but not before Styles sucked Bradshaw in
the eye with
punch what was that old saying about
something being best saved gold number
two the coach gets arrested it’s one of
Vince McMahon’s most well known ribs so
much so that it was even retold on the
company’s animated Network series dubby
dubby story time the backstage
interviewer and commentator Jonathan
Coachman
was talked into running a ten dollar
football pool only for local police to
show up to arrest him for gambling and
haul him out handcuffed in front of fans
and staff alike the coach was actually
driven off in a squad car before being
brought back to face Vince and his
co-workers in hysterics over the whole
thing
so is this funny or just mean you decide
number one
the plane ride from hell there probably
isn’t enough room here to properly go
over every bit of bad behavior on the
dough Joey’s infamous plane ride from
hell but we’re gonna try
basically a plane trip back from the UK
again got out of hand big surprise when
a lot of alcohol was involved of course
there was drunken singing drunken
brawling drug use hair being cut in
appropriate nudity and sexual harassment
the aftermath was a slew of firings and
not to mention the massive black eye on
the dota B’s public reputation with the
incident going down as one of the
industry’s most infamous moments do you
