Had to get up and leave ringside to use the bathroom or something like that? I figured that if they ever had to go, they'd wait until when their off air for commercial breaks or during in ring promo segments in order to do so.

I feel for the commentators during PPVs. You have to drink to stop your throat getting dry and you’re sat in the middle of the venue with no easy access to a toilet.
Then I imagine them during Wrestlemania. First off, they’re normally in a huge stadium so even during a five minute backstage segment, it’ll take ages to get anywhere. And second, Wrestlemania lasts about seven hours now.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they had a piss bottle under the table.

Jim Ross said that Terry Funk got up and pissed under the bleachers at a WCW show in '89.

In one of the Something to Wrestle with podcasts, I seem to recall Bruce mentioning that some of the commentators - Vince included - would just let it all flow out during commentary. Part of me thinks this is understandable, another part thinks it's beyond grim. It's an appropriate thread for your Ted Stryker 'What a pisser' line... |

The guys that know they're sitting there doing commentary for 3 hours don't eat or drink anything substantial during the hours leading up to or during the show they are broadcasting. If they did, it would be idiotic and unprofessional. Nobody's just pissing themselves at the commentary table. That's ridiculous, and if it ever happened it would probably lead to that person being fired for being a complete moron. |

A little off topic, but...
Is it really that big of a deal for people to not pee for 3 hours?
I'm totally serious, by the way. I only pee a couple of times a day and have a pretty high fluid intake.
How often do you people pee?
EDIT: Apparently I am superhuman, because I just found out that me not using the bathroom throughout the entire trip from Indiana to North Carolina is insane for anyone.

Then went on the ref on the old ECW on Sci FI show and some Smackdowns. He has confirmed that for long shows sometimes the commentary team will keep a pissjug under the table. |

Cause of one of the meds I take I am always thirsty. So I drink around a gallon of fluid a day. Which means I piss at least 8 times a day if not more. Gotta figure with a 3 to 5 hour PPV the commentary team has to a drink a few times. |

Happened more often than you'd think during the years when the WWF kept the announce booth far away from the ring. They weren't pissing their pants or anything, but there was always a bottle or the like kept around in case, and they were blocked off from the crowd seeing what they were doing. |

On Jericho's podcast, Don Callis said he would say something like "Im gonna go down there and congradulate my boy Kenny" as an excuse to leave the booth and go pee.
