10 Best WWE Tales From Wrestlers' Court

7. Diva's Dodgeball Gets Real

At Summerslam 2004, the Divas roster teamed up to take on the Diva Search contestants in an exciting, dramatic 15-minute tag elimination match. No, just kidding, this is WWE we're talking about. Obviously it was a three-minute dodgeball match, and obviously the Diva Search contestants were wearing bikinis. Had it still been the Attitude Era, there probably would have been a stripping stipulation somewhere in there.

What wasn't immediately apparent in the pre-taped segment, watched by approximately 10% of the audience at the arena and at home while everyone else made a cup of tea or went to the toilet, was that the match was a shoot: the rookies really did beat the Diva's roster with a five-on-one finish.

The boys' locker room weren't happy about that, considering that the entire WWE divas roster losing a game of dodgeball to a bunch of models and non-wrestlers made them look like diabolical athletes, and Val Venis was the one to prosecute all of them as co-defendants in wrestlers' court.

Now you might think that this is an extraordinarily silly reason to pull people up when you're talking about a worked profession which will regularly put people who can barely call themselves wrestlers over experienced professional wrestling veterans - and you'd be right.

Ivory, who represented the defence, later said that it seemed even more like a rib because Triple H was the judge shouting at them instead of the Undertaker which the 20-year veteran says, at the time, was kind of like being told off by a guy your mum's been seeing for a week. Word is that all the charges were dropped after they bought Levesque a present. Does the law mean nothing anymore?
