WWE Story Time is a unique show that brings a new perspective to the fascinating world of wrestling. In each episode, WWE superstars and legends share their personal behind-the-scenes stories in their own words. Season 1 episode 5, Ribbin' Ain't Easy, is an interesting addition to the series.
The episode features five wrestlers who reveal hilarious and bizarre stories of their ribbing experiences. For those who are not familiar with the term, ribbing refers to practical jokes that wrestlers play on each other backstage. A rib can range from innocent pranks to vicious sabotage.
The first story comes from the WWE veteran and Hall of Famer, JBL. He recalls a time when he and his partner Ron Simmons played a rib on the Rock. JBL shares how the two of them convinced the Rock that they had been practicing a dance routine for weeks, and that it was going to be part of their match. The Rock believed them and even practiced the moves with them. However, when they entered the ring, JBL and Simmons decided to skip the dance routine altogether, leaving the Rock confused and embarrassed.
The next story comes from former WWE wrestler, Shelton Benjamin. He talks about his experience of being ribbed by the Undertaker. Shelton recalls how he was new to the WWE and had to travel with the Undertaker and some other wrestlers. One day, Shelton was in a hurry to use the restroom during a road trip, and he accidentally took the Undertaker's bag with him. The Undertaker was not pleased, and he ribbed Shelton by putting fish in his bag, making it stink for the remainder of the trip.
Another interesting story in the episode is shared by former WWE wrestler, Hornswoggle. He talks about how he played a rib on John Cena. Hornswoggle reveals how he noticed that Cena had a cup of coffee every day at the same time, and decided to put laxatives in it one day. Cena had to run to the bathroom during a live show, leaving Hornswoggle in fits of laughter backstage.
The episode also features stories from the two brothers, the Usos. They share how they used to rib each other when they first started their career in the WWE. Jimmy Uso talks about how he once played a rib on his brother Jey by pouring baby powder on him while he was showering. Jey, in return, played a rib on Jimmy by putting his underwear in the freezer.
The final story in the episode comes from the WWE Diva, Cameron. She reveals how the Bella Twins - Nikki and Brie - played a rib on her during one of their matches. Cameron explains how the Bellas convinced her that they had switched places during a match, leaving Cameron confused and disoriented.
Overall, Ribbin' Ain't Easy is a fun-packed episode that shows the lighter side of the WWE. The stories shared by the wrestlers are hilarious, and they give viewers an insight into the world of ribbing. The episode also highlights how ribbing is an essential part of the backstage culture in the WWE and how it helps build camaraderie between the wrestlers.
