8 Times Wrestlers Were Rewarded For Bad Behaviour

8. A.P.A. - Given A Drinking Gimmick After Getting Smashed In Front Of The Boss

Back when Bradshaw and Faarooq were knocking around as The Acolytes in WWE towards the end of the '90s, the pair were rather infamously known for their antics away from the squared-circle.

Around this time, the formidable unit could usually be found in the bar of whatever hotel they were staying at after a long day's work. This is precisely where WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, found the two during some typically excessive birthday celebrations for Bradshaw. Then after a wild night of drinking, which ended in the birthday boy being escorted home by the boss in his limo, the two were convinced their p*ssed-up antics would land them straight in the doghouse.

However, Bradshaw was soon called into McMahon's office the next day, mocked over how hungover he was, before then being offered the chance to bring his and Faarooq's real-life escapades to the Monday Night Raw stage. This set in motion the events that would ultimately lead to the pair being rebranded as the uber-popular Acolyte Protection Agency, whilst also simultaneously scrapping any back-up plans the two had for heading to Japan in case they were given the sack post-birthday bash.
