On one of the earlier Raws (after Mania 9) when HBK and Perfect fought out in the street, Vince I believe, told them to damage The Fink's brand new Caddy. So they did. After they were done filming the spot, which BTW they never informed anyone of, so they had to beat it when the cops arrived and left someone behind to explain, Vince calls Howard into the office and explains, "Curt and Shawn wrecked your car. I had no idea they were going to do it. I'm sorry". The Fink stood there, gathered himself and said, "Well, if it's good for business, I guess it's ok"...Finally Vince let him in a the joke and bought Fink a new Caddy. Fink's a company man, right to the end.

Oh, and the rib where supposedly Hennig crapped in a bucket and left it under a WCW ring one night for Nitro since Warrior had to stay under the ring during the show up to the main event. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's the first rib involving crap that I actually find funny. I've heard some stories from Marty Jannetty about ribs he pulled and ribs Mr. Fuji pulled. Only one that comes to mind is Jannetty framing Brian Knobbs for a prank on Fuji, so of course Fuji "got Knobbs back" ten fold. Owen was the greatest though, from all the stuff I've heard. Didn't he and Bulldog used to blame each other all the time? I heard a story from JBL I believe that Owen could be wrestling in Japan and Davey would say: "Owen did it, must've been Owen." And one time during a house show, a transformer blew or something, causing the lights to go out. And everyone in the arena thought Bulldog did it at first "Where's Davey???!!!". And I believe on RAW is Owen, Brian Christopher said that Owen once sewed his pants together and blamed it on Bulldog.

-Someone (I think X-Pac) crapped in Mark Henry's sandwhich, and It's possible that Henry may have actually ate most of it without knowing that he was eating crap. I think this was the inspiration to the line X-Pac used when DX was mocking the nation when he said "I sure smell what the Rock is cookin (smells like s**t) but I guess I'll eat some anyway" I call BS on that. Why? Because X-Pac still has all his limbs. The other Waltman story is believable, though. It takes a special person to use someone else's crap for a prank.

That reminds me of another Fuji story involving a car. I don't have detail memorized, but it goes basically like this... Fuji had a new guy stay with him with the promise that the rookie would drive Fuji to the show the next day. The nexy day comes and Fuji gives the man the directions to get there and they make the 5 hour drive, arriving just in time for the show to start. The show happens and afterwards Fuji thanks the man and offers to drive on the way home. The trip takes 15 minutes. That's hilarious to me. Fuji sacrificed his day just to take this guy on a wild goose chase. That's dedication. And that was before GPS and Mapquest. Genius. Heenan tells a similar story. I forget the guys, but one of them was new to the territory. One of the wrestler's offers to give him a ride to the venue. The car has no AC and it's blazing hot outside. They start to drive to the venue first thing in the morning. All in through the mountains and up and over and all over Hell's Half Acre. The new guy asks if they have time to stop for a bite to eat. "Nope, we gotta keep going,or we won't make it.". Finally after driving all day, they arrive at the Arena. The driver says, "I gotta leave early, but one of the other guys will give you a ride back to the hotel." So after the show, the new guy gets a ride back to the hotel, which was just down the street from where he was picked up earlier that morning. Heenan tells another great one about Geroge (Wells I think), Verne Gagne and Wally Korbo. George is in charge of the ring. He sets it up, takes it down, does all the repairs. George is constantly requesting new wood for the ring. Verne thinks it costs way too much. "They're big guys Verne. I gotta do it." "It costs too much" "Fine Verne, you fix the ring." "Aw, hell, I'll get the wood.". When George passed away they had a service at his house. Verne is standing outside for the longest time, staring at this barn George had built. Suddenly it hits him, George had built himself this massive barn out of all the wood he kept requesting for the ring! Verne calls Wally over, "Wally look what George did. He built this barn our of my wood." "No, Verne" Wally says, "Geroge is dead." Brain says that was the kind of guy Wally was. Another time, Verne had brought in Ivan Putski. Putski's gimmick was he didn't speak English. So he sends Wally, who was part Italian, out to help to an interview with Putski. Verne wants Wally to ask Putski how much he weighs, so Wally turns to Putski and asks, "How mucha you weigh?" Apparently Verne was slapping his head while Heenan says, "You really didn't think he'd do it right, did you?" I know the last two aren't ribs, but I always found them funny.

i heard one where owen hart was sharing a hotel room with luger, and got a bit bored, so he decided to borrow a load of the female wrestlers' underwear (after making them promise not to tell luger), and then take about twenty polaroids of his own bare crotch. he then hid them under his bed, and waited till luger was packing. anyway, while luger was packing, owen goes over to the phone and says into it "yeah, he's right here. i'll get him now" then tells luger that they want him in the lobby. so while he's out, owen empties lugers suitcase, throws a cutlery set that he'd bought especially for the rib in the bottom of the case, covers the set with the underwear and the polaroids, then puts lex's stuff back on top. anyway, when they get to the airport, they go through the metal detectors, of course setting them off, and security is called in to search luger's luggage in front of a huge crowd of people. needless to say, lex wasn't too pleased. I don't know if that really happened or not, but that is still so great that I don't know how to handle it.

The driving ones as well as setting people's clothes on fire were Fuji's specialty.
Cornette told one of when Davey and Owen took the hogs from the Hogpen match and put them in Vince's office. They also would buy a bunch of baby mice and let them loose through the locker room.
And Percy Pringle (Paul Bearer) told one in his shoot w/ Cornette in which the Undertaker is allergic to cucumbers and would throw up if a slice was put in his ice tea. So it became a reoccurring rib with cucumbers being put in his gear and such.
The Steiner Brothers were known for padlocking bags to a row of lockers.
X-Pac also once threw a smoke bomb in Sable's dressing room.

fuji used to piss on people all the time as well.
one story involves lex luger and fuji going to some place for dinner and after drinking he just whips it out and pisses on lex's leg the entire time.
another fuji one involves him making a wrestler think that he ate his own dog. the wrestler didn't actually eat his own dog but the story goes that fuji takes this wrestler to his house, cooks him a nice meal and after the meal the wrestler says "wow that was really good what was it?" to which fuji replies "it's your own dog" and lifts a cover showing a dog head on a plate.

Yeah, he did that to Billy Jack Haynes, I think. Marty Janetty and his partner, whose name I can't seem to remember once booked a hotel and Marty said his name was Scott Hall, well they trashed the hotel and the hotel management called the office. Needless to say Hall was pretty pissed, and when he saw Janetty next time, he beat the holly hell out of him.

Janetty would wait for his New Rocker's partner, Al Snow, to take a shower. Then he would fill a bucket with ice water and run into the shower and throw it on him. He'd also ball up and wet paper towels and throw them at Al over the stall when he was taking a dump.

I read this in Piper's book. one night Piper was going to wrestle a bear. Right before the "match", another wrestler ( I think it may have been Harley Race) came over to Piper and said "good luck out there" and slapped him on the back. Piper went out to the ring and the bear just mauled him. Afterwards he found out that when the guy slapped him on the back, he smeared honey on him.

To add on to that, the next time Hall saw Janetty, The Rocker was sleeping in a lockerroom and Hall just started pounding him right then and there. Definitely not my kind of wake-up call. Oh, and to quote Hall on why he did that..."I'm a dirty fighter."
