I was thinking. How do wrestlers get between arenas. No, I don't mean "Rental Car." I mean in Kayfaybe. You know, like how does Umaga or Kamala travel? I mean, I assume his handler put him in one of those horse trailers, or something. But I just can't figure out how some of the more antisocial gimmicks get around. Like Mankind. Or Kane. Or Bogeyman. Of course, either Undertaker travels by either sleeping in a coffin while being driven across country in a hearse, or is summoned by a troop of druids for every event. Well, except when he traveled by motorcycle. I guess team corporate flew in charter planes. And Austin had his small auto fleet. And the Dungeon had it's monster truck the Master had lying in the back of cave, or something. And almost 4000 wrestlers had biker gimmicks. Which does kinda work. I can see the nWo getting on their bikes after the match and driving to the airport. Seriously, would you trust the nWo to show up on time for a match? And then there is Al Snow. I mean, would you let that man drive a car.
Well, I suppose I know that Bossman did drive a Squad car around.

Khali has been known to just trample through towns, eating villagers along the way.

Every bizarre, anti-social wrestler in the kayfabe days had a manager, maybe partially for this reason. Fans needed to believe that someone had to "control" these guys. A lot of times the heel manager would be the only one to "calm" the guy down after he goes nuts. I guess he would just be able to do that through airports and such.

Oh crap, what about Jesse and Festus. If they are on one of the old timey trains then I'm pretty sure there would be a few bells that ring.

In Kamala's ROH shoot, he talks about being driven to the arenas in the back of a van. He would be inside in full makeup and burst out scaring people. Sometimes a live chicken would even be thrown into the back of the van so he could "feed"!

THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR DOES NOT NEED THIS THING OF NORMALS CALLED TRAVEL!!!
I always imagined him only being there for just his matches and interviews. His method of travel was most likely just him sprinting to arenas.

Last May, I saw Torrie Wilson, Carlito, Shelton and Umaga in Chicago's O Hare Airport. Umaga had no face paint, a WWE t-shirt, Jeans or shorts (don't remember which) and he was eating a breakfast sandwich from McDonald's. Yeah. Go kayfaybe!!

Well, last time WWE was in northern California, they tried to ride a street car in San Francisco. Total was 57 dead, 208 injured. The violence came in five second spurts between bells. The violence wasn't all Festus, however, as during the violence, Jesse just kept singing "Rice a roooooooooooooniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" to their theme music. This caused many commuters to hurl themselves off the street cars in horror. |

Most of the roster actually travels via those small little ring carts seen at Wrestlemania III and VI. Oh they're slow in the arenas for safety, but if you see one of those bad boys on the road, they're typically 65-70 mph.

Fun "fact": You remember those "body-bags" Taker used to put his beaten opponents in? Well, they were actually human travel bags. Journeymen wrestlers would pay Taker to put them in the bags and have them transported by bus to the next territory. It was much cheaper than buying a rental car.

That's always been my theory... it would explain why he was always so tired in the ring... he just ran halfway across the country now you want him to wrestle?  |
