12 Hilarious WWE Backstage Skits You Probably Don't Remember

12. Manners Cost Nothing

Long, long before John ‘Bradshaw’ Layfield was drunkenly shouting at Maggles and Ron ‘Faarooq’ Simmons was loudly passing judgement on shenanigans for a living, they were the Acolytes Protection Agency: two blue collar, beer swilling, cigar smoking, poker playing cultist enforcers, a gimmick which involved hitting other wrestlers harder than they needed to and blurring the line between ‘pec’ and ‘moob’.

The APA would set up with brews, chips n’ dips backstage at whatever venue they were at to kill time… and part of ‘setting up’ involved placing a large prop door in front of their little den of macho iniquity, which they would insist that people use despite there being no walls surrounding It.

On this old episode of Smackdown dating back to autumn 2000, Just Joe - aka Canadian independent star Joe E. Legend, former tag team partner with one Sexton Hardcastle in the team Sex & Violence - tries to stir the pot by stooging on Edge & Christian to the menacing badasses… but Bradshaw puts the ratfink in his place by insisting that he use the door, and that he knock first.
