Warrior apparently had the habit of smashing a cookie into a fine dust and then smelling it for his dessert, insisting that was just as good as eating it. Damn that's some outside the box thinking. To be clear, he didn't snort it, simply smelled it. I guess the smashing just released the aroma. |

This little girl, like 5 or 6, seeing Punk in an airport at like 5am. She asks for his autograph, which he signs. Then he realizes if this child knows who he is, it's gonna inspire adults to assume he's someone, even if they don't know who to bother him, so he turns to them all and says, "You didn't see anything".
It's oddly heartwarming.

Lance Storm and I think Arn Anderson are talking about various things and mention the guys who when their music stops the good times are over.
Batista overhears and later says to Lance "I'm one of those guys aren't I?" Lance confirms it. Batista goes away and works his ass off and in Storm's words "Not long later he wasn't one of those guys any more"

Loads of great ones here. The Bagwell hat story is a classic, because of whoever that comedy genius was that decided to fix the hat. I really liked Warrior's story of him and Savage at SummerSlam 92, both huge coffee drinkers (no surprise there) and desperate for their caffeine buzz like Fry aiming for 100 cups. Leading to them sneaking in to an executive dining hall and stealing a massive five-gallon percolator full of coffee, drinking almost all of it before going out there for their match. The visual image of those two, looking like an explosion in a rainbow factory at the best of times, sneaking around with a huge coffee machine just makes me laugh. And this is a combination of neon cowboy Savage and naked wrestling singlet Warrior, too. How do you not notice? |

Warrior and Savage mainlining litres of coffee explains so much of the 90s |

Would you try to stop them? |

Not my favorite, and it's technically not backstage, but I love the story Big Show told about working overseas with Steve Austin(when Show was new to the WWF) and as Show was rolling Stone Cold into the ring, he accidentally gives him a huge wedgie with his trunks. That lead to Steve hitting Show hard with his right hand and yelling at him "off the tights ya big son of a bitch, I only got two pairs!" Show's impression of that was hilarious.
A less funny but pretty cool story was after the Montreal Screwjob, Undertaker being the one to confront Vince McMahon in his office and making him go face Bret in the locker room.
Honorable mention to the "taping fists" story, whether it's true or not.

When Foley was starting out, I think it was his first regular gig, the pay-off guy comes to him with a clipboard and pencil in hand and says, "You wanna draw?" Mick was mighty puzzled and must have looked and said he was about to take the guy up on his offer to sit down and draw when someone shouted out, "Mick, he wants to know if you want an advance on your payoff".
Until it was explained Mick was gonna sit down with this guy and draw pictures.

Damn that's some outside the box thinking. To be clear, he didn't snort it, simply smelled it. I guess the smashing just released the aroma. I can actually buy this one. When I was in college, I worked as a prep cook at a banquet hall. During the summers, we obviously had a wedding like every Saturday. So on those days, like the first couple hours of work was me making cookie trays out of the thousands of cookies they brought in. Yeah, it's cool to pick at them while working, but after a while, the smell alone makes you feel like you ate a bunch. |

Unfrozen Nazi Heidenreich.
More specifically how the writer was super excited about it and Vince just silently got up and walked away.

No, the *really* great part is Vince sitting in silence for several minutes, almost like trying to process what he just saw/heard, THEN leaving. I remember reading one years back where Mark Henry accidentally injured.....I think it was Lance Storm... and naturally felt bad about it to the point where he carried Lance's bags around for like, a month or so afterwards |

I love basically every Andre story ever. I know that's a lame response but it's true. Like him falling asleep in a hotel lobby and the workers just throwing a piano cover over him. |

I'd expect him to yell something at the writer... not silence |

The best part is why the writer even pitched it in the first place — WWE had already done the Katie Vick story at this point. |

Or the time a stewardess gave Andre an actual screwdriver when he asked for the drink called a screwdriver. What really sells it is Bobby Heenan's reaction: "If a drunk 7 foot giant asks you for a drink, you DON'T give him tools! What if he asked you for a bloody mary?" |

Most of the Hall of Fame ceremony stuff is awful, but I could have listened to Freebird stories all night long.
