Fuji was an asshole, and if the dog "rib" is true, a monster as well. I know I’m going to regret asking... Fuji allegedly fed Jimmy Snuka a dog, that’s where they got the inspiration for the Pepper Al Snow storyline.

One I saw last year. BIW usually brings in a few local college kids to help the ring crew. One of these kids you could tell was a big country guy. 6'5" and huge. But not the brightest. The guy that owns the ring tells him "Hey go into the trailer and find me a left handed cresant wrench." We watched this kid dig thru the ring trailer for an hour. Holding up every wrench he found"is this it guys?" "NOPE keep looking." Finally the kid comes out of the trailer "I can't find one guys". Everyone is laughing and the promoter pulled him to the side and explained the rib. Which reminds me of a regular joke people play on new employees at local fast food chains... a manager ask to have a sign made up to hang in their freezer saying "there is no such thing as "ICE MIX"!"

Quite possibly my favorite rib story is one where Steve Austin drew a goofy little smiley face on the palm of his hand.
Later when he went out to face Undertaker(probably a house show) he extends his hand out to Taker to do the "lock up/test of strength" spot.
Undertaker had to cover his face with his hair to cover his laughter at the unexpected smiley face.

I remember a YouTube video, though it was really just a sound clip over a picture, about Jason Sensation talking about pranking Owen Hart. I can't find it anymore, but I do remember the story.
It was the Raw taping of the DX parody of The Nation. Jason already had gotten dressed and made up in his Owen Hart costume. He went up to Owen to tell him about how he appreciates this experience, but Owen makes a threat to him that he will go after him first. From what I have heard, The Nation actually came out to attack DX, but being that the Raw episode was taped, that was omitted.
Anyway, Jason spoke to Chyna about what Owen said and he sort of took it seriously. But Chyna said that Owen was just messing with him and that she and Jason would turn the tables. So Jason went to hide from Owen in the restroom and when Owen found him, Jason said that he won't do the skit out of respect to him. It got into something that Owen felt touched that Jason wouldn't do it because he is a fan of his. It then led to Jason getting out and letting out a chuckle. Then Owen saw that he was just pranked. He told Jason to go out there and do the skit, but, and I quote, "if he [Owen] found out that he [Jason] was ribbing him, that he'll be sorry."
Man, how do I remember that whole story?

I feel like the Fuji dog story may be more legend than true. I've heard he did it to both Toru Tanaka and Jimmy Snuka at this point. Here is a much more lighthearted Fuji rib, forget what podcast it’s from. Basically they are doing a European tour I believe and the guy gets stuck riding with Fuji. The guy is paranoid as hell the whole trip because he has heard Fuji’s reputation for running. They go the whole trip and Fuji doesn’t mess with him at all. The guy goes to Fuji, I was waiting all this time and you never ribbed me once. Fuji’s answer is best rib no rib

Another classic Owen one is hiding some sardines in a turnbuckle before a match with Bret, then stuffing them in Bret's mouth and doing a Camel Clutch so he couldn't spit them out.

Can remember Foley in his book saying he was in a hotel when Owen rang his room pretending to be the manager. He tells Foley he's undercharged him, & when Mick says he can't agree a fee then alter it, Owen then starts winding him up saying how fake wrestling is.

Owen is the only famous ribber whose pranks were never mean spirited (except maybe the Ahmed one). Agreed, though even then something in me feels Ahmed really need some hubris reduction at that point. Owen was notorious for attending Harley Race's chili cookouts that he invited a lot of wrestlers to, and always finding a way to sneak unplanned ingredients (usually the hottest peppers he could find) into the chili, no matter how hard Race kept an eye on him to prevent it. One thing that's always amused me about the Owen ribs are the phone calls. Owen's nasally accent was pretty hard for him to disguise, so he had to work really hard to pull some of them off without getting outed immediately.

It seems like no one was immune from Mr. Fuji. Years ago my grandfather worked with Hershey Park a few times a year for his job in Maryland. The HR director for the park and arena did a lot of work with the WWF and one day when we were riding the tram he was telling stories about some of the guys. He said that he, Chris, was the announcer for one of the shows and Fuji came over to him and hit him hard on his foot with his cane. I wonder if he did any ribs on whoever he worked with at the movie theater or if he did any ribs late into his WWF career. He seemed to age so much in his last two or three years I don't see him finding the guts to mess with anyone.

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. Kinky.

I remember one from Mick Foley’s first book where he, Regal and Austin were all with WCW at the time, and they all decided to go to the beach before the show. Mick slowly starts looking around and says “Hey guys, have you noticed there are no women on this beach?”
That’s right - Austin and Regal had taken Mick to a gay beach. Mick even said himself it must’ve been quite the sight on that beach with Austin and Regal, two handsome young guys with great bodies and then him hanging out with them.

Better than the time Dick Murdoch took JYD to a KKK meeting. Not joking.

Mick would honestly have gone over great with a lot of guys. Just ask if they're down with dude love.

Not sure if it counts as a rib, but I've always loved the story of Curt Henning being at Road Warrior Animal's house for a party and taking a dump in his (Animal's) son's little kid toilet, prompting Animal to show off the gigantic turd his little kid supposedly took.

Bret and Owen were checking into a hotel. Duggan calls down asking where the gym is while this happening. The girl at the desk asks them if they know anything about gyms in the area. Owen gets on the phone and winds up Hacksaw, calling him a big idiot and what not, challengers him to a fight. Hands the phone back to the mortified girl and says “You tell him it was me, Jim Powers!!”
