It was confirmed in a later interview after the fire incident at Elimination Chamber 2010 that Taker told officials backstage he "never wanted to see [that pyro operator] again." Unconfirmed: If Taker made said pyro operator disappear personally. Jericho gave the story in his book and on the podcast with the most epic Taker quote of all time to Vince: "I don't want an apology, I don't want an excuse. If I see him around here again, I'm going to kill him and you know I'm serious." Even Vince was grovelling here and, from what I understand, the pyro guy was gone before Taker even got back to Gorilla. I know people hate the Wrestler's Court stuff, but damn, I'm always up for a good Taker story, confirmed or otherwise.

Not exactly "Backstage", though Backstage had a hand in it. At King of the Ring, it was confirmed that the Sugar Glass that Shane McMahon was supposed to go through had not been put in prior to the match due to Staff fearing it'd melt from the Pyro Which is why Kurt had to try multiple times to put Shane through it, Shane nearly broke his neck, and gave him a concussion on a nasty landing Did they both know or were they still expecting it to break.

Expecting it to break. As far as both knew, it was still the sugar glass there. Kurt was committed to doing the spot (and a little puzzled it was being so difficult) and Shane was being Shane in wanting to take it.
It's a bit like Foley and the chairshots at the '99 Rumble. Both guys too hyped up to consider not carrying on with the deal.

I hate most of the Wrestlers Court stuff because it's taken so serious for trivial things, but when a guys error gives you significant burns, you can react however you want.

The worst one I ever heard was Melina. Yeah I heard she wasn't the greatest backstage but basically an entire room of Male and Female Stars ganging up on one Woman and sending her to tears does NOT sound like the way to fix that and it clearly didn't...

Even after Shane's head bounced off the concrete it was implied Kurt wanted to hurt Shane and he did

Vince McMahon is famous for showing wrestlers how to do certain aspects of their gimmick My favorite is showing Luke Gallows how to do the "Festus Face" exactly right and Kelly Kelly how to Striptease. Isnt there a story of him teaching Red Rooster how to do his gimmick? "CROW LOUDER GODDAMMIT!" Is that confirmed?

Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson recently had an interview with Sam Roberts where Karl mentioned (and Gallows confirmed) that, per their estimation, Vince has no idea Luke Gallows was Festus.
And Gallows balked at the idea of actually telling him, for fear of getting de-pushed or fired.

Not sure if it's "backstage" per se, but didn't Carlito confirm that report that when he was filming his debut vignettes in 2004, Vince told him during one take that he needed to "Spic it up a bit more?"
