I thought it’s been a while since we’ve had a thread on them. I was thinking of specifying it as indie ribs or just mean spirited ones or something. But I’m sure we’ll get more stories if it’s just a general one.
As for bad ones everyone knows Ian Rotten is an asshole. But I just heard another reason why. On the Card is Going to Change podcast Hornswoggle worked a show with Ian right after he found out he was signed by WWE. Since Ian knew Hornswoggle would be on TV soon he then proceeds to give Hornswoggle a blade job and then just keeps stabbing him in the head. Backstage Hornswoggle ask Ian what the f***. Ian just said he was ribbing him.
Yes, Ian Rotten is an asshole.

Most of the well-known "ribs" are straight-up crimes. Period
Here's a horrible one with a twist ending:
For years, Johnny Valentine had a reputation for being a vicious and horrible "prankster" over a rib he pulled on "Alaskan" Jay York. Jay was asthmatic and needed an inhaler. One day, Valentine got into York's belongings while York was away from the locker room, and the boys watched Johnny fill the inhaler with butane. When Jay attempted to use it, he got a mouthful. The boys ratted on Valentine, and Jay grabbed a gun and went chasing over Johhny, firing several shots at him.
Except as time went on - literally decades later - more and more workers came forward to having witnessed this. So many from so many territories that it would have been impossible for them to have all seen it. Then it started falling into place after all that time, that Johnny and Jay had pulled this multiple times. It wasn't Valentine "ribbing" York, it was the both of them ribbing everybody else.

I remember hearing that Mr. Fuji used to keep an assortment of padlocks with his equipment, and would padlock others' bags to anything in the locker room... sinks, lockers, pipes, toilets, etc..
Didn't hear if he had any of the required keys...

Mark Henry and Owen Hart were out back hanging about when the hogs arrived for the Hog Pen match. The driver asked them if they knew were he was supposed to deliver the pigs to. Owen pipes up and says to follow him. He had them all penned in Vince’s office. Apparently once Vince found them he just said “Owen” and closed the door.

What’s interesting is that a photo of Vince opening what was his office back than with the pigs appeared in their magazine. It appeared in the column Barred From The Back. The author was Vince “Informer” Russo.

During the week of wrestlemania 12, Owen convinced Ahmed Johnson he was going to be on Jay Leno. Ahmed spend a few thousand bucks on a nice suit and was waiting to get picked up by a limo. Davey Boy asked whats going on, and Ahmed told him he was gonna be on Leno tonight. Davey Boy flips a shit and says I've been here for a long time why the f*** do you get this chance, and things were getting heated, and Ahmed says "I guess that's the way the ball bounces sometimes." Owen comes out and says "Ahmed the limo didn't come yet?" Ahmed replied. "No not yet.... Wait how do yo know I'm waiting for a limo???" Then they all laugh and I think Bret was hiding in the bushes watching the whole thing.

Mr Fuji one time made a new guy drive them to the arena, the new guy didn’t know where the arena was so they ended up driving over eight hours, once the show ended Fuji told the guy that he was driving and they just lasted fifteen minutes to the hotel.
Another time Fuji grabbed a condom and put red coloring inside of it he then put it inside his mouth, Hogan walked by and asked Fuji what he had in his mouth, Fuji spit the condom on Hogan’s face.

Johnny Valentine took a shit on top of a passed out Dr Jerry Graham, it was retaliation for Graham pissing on him while he was on a pay phone.

Does Mark Henry say he was actually there for that? The show where Owen did that rib was in December 1995, so time frame wise, it doesn't make much sense for Henry to have be around yet. He's also told a story about Teddy Long and Ahmed Johnson being in the same car with him on the road even though Long came to the company after Ahmed was gone.

I believe Mark told it. I could be wrong.

The point of a rib is to be funny. Killing an animal isn't funny. Taking a dump on a drunk isn't funny. Costing someone their job isn't funny. Spitting in someone's face isn't funny.

I can’t believe the Fuji/dog thing is actually true, mainly because that dude would have killed Fuji for pulling some stuff like that,
For more lighthearted ribbing, the ever classic case of Buff Bagwell and the smashed top hat.

The top hat story is a gem. I love that it's harmless, if annoying. For those who don't know, during the InVasion, Bagwell was not well-liked, to put it mildly. He had his collapsible top hat backstage, and place it on a table extended. He walked away, and return to find it flattened. He extends it again, walks away, and comes back to find it collapsed. This happens a few times, with him getting increasingly annoyed. Finally, he leaves it flattened, defeated. He comes back to find it fully extended.
