There have been many stories about the "Wrestler's Court", where guys like Undertaker, JBL, Hardcore Holly, Benoit and others "police" wrestlers that violate the rules and traditions laid down by the company" in a mock trial. The punishments meted out can range from pranking to paying for other wrestlers' travel expenses. I think this is fine. It's usually in good humour, or used to give people an ego check (Melina). However, the type of hazing that JBL did to people like Palmer Canon and Amy Weber is NOT okay. |

Who was it that JBL threatened to sodomize with a broomstick? Duke Drosse?

The company should deal with misconduct, not the "employees/independent contractors" themselves.

To what extent are these people just sociopaths, and to what extent does backstage wrestling "boys" culture just give people an excuse to do these things and still be able to live with themselves? If this really happened and enough people knew about it for the rumor to get out to fans, then the company's irredeemable. I would happily never watch wrestling again if it meant the police could arrest everyone responsible for doing these things or keeping them secret. |

They do this in TNA, too. I know this because my favorite wrestler's court case happened there. Daivari had to go to wrestler's court because he got a flight attendent to wish Kip James (Billy Gunn) "a happy 70th birthday" in-flight over the intercom. His punishment was buying the whole roster a round of beer. See, now that's funny. You beat me to it! That was hilarious. |

IIRC, that was Brian Christopher. First time I've ever heard that about Khali. Damn... |

I've heard these JBL shower stories so many times with so many different variations that it's difficult to take them seriously. It seems like every time they're told, an extra bit is added on.

Seriously.....people will believe anything they read.

There's a shoot video where Honky Tonk Man and Raven go through some of that 'wrestling sleaze' list and speculate as to whether the stories are true or not, one of the JBL shower stories comes up in that.

I heard the JBL shower story, but with Edge as the victim Edge confirmed that one in his book. I think the chapter was called "The Night Bradshaw Soaped My Ass" or something to that effect. |

Apparently they used to bet on how long it would take to make a diva cry in wrestler's court. It was London and Kendrick who said that, when they would get woken up at 3AM for wrestlers court about something Melina did (can't remember what, it's in their shoot interview though) and they would bet how long it took her to cry, usually not very long. |

Given how unpopular she was backstage, I'd like to see a couple of these Wrestler's Courts, just to see what kind of nonsense they blamed on her or she actually did. |
