5 crazy backstage stories from WCW

#4 Harlem Heat refused to wash their ring attire

Harlem Heat were originally called ‘The Ebony Experience’

When many people think about wrestling and just see sweaty men rubbing against each other in an unhygienic fashion. And when you hear stories like this, it’s hard to argue with that viewpoint. Booker T and Stevie Ray were a dynamic duo that added much-needed life to the tag team division on WCW.

But back in WCW, the duo were notorious for stinking out the locker room. Many wrestlers simply believed the duo were deliberately not washing their tights on purpose for a prank.

However, it was only when Sherri Martel started to manage them that those rumours were confirmed. She found out the pair only had 1 pair of tights and always took them on road with them. After that day, she continuously washed their tights behind their backs.
