5 crazy backstage stories from WCW

#1 The Misfits wreak havoc backstage

WCW was literally an unruly wilderness at the best of times. Eric Bischoff allowed the wrestlers to run havoc, sometimes even booking their own matches. On televised shows, segments were loosely based around the main event stars and their booking. Live events were even more lawless, and talents could do whatever they wanted.

One night, WCW wrestler Vampiro was told by officials that they had nothing planned for him that night.

So, what did he do? He walked out of the arena, went into a bar that the Misfits were playing at and asked them to accompany him to the ring. They did, and the WWE officials loved the idea so much, they were even booked for shows afterwards.

However, the alliance had to be cut short when the lead singer of the band got injured after being beaten up by Dr Death Steve Williams. Just to add insult to injury, the band’s guitarist ending up entering into a relationship with Macho Man’s girlfriend Stephanie Ballars, behind his back.
