10 Awesome Wrestling Spots That Were Totally Improvised

5. P*ssing Contest

"Awesome" might be stretching the premise a little, but kudos to Drake Maverick for taking a major one for the team when the WWE props department badly let him down.

A stupid finish at the 2018 Survivor Series called for Drake Maverick to wet himself in utter terror at the prospect of getting decked by The Bar and The Big Show despite having The Authors Of Pain to back him up, but the 205 Live General Manager couldn't even salvage any dignity with prop comedy and not just because the bit wasn't very funny - the prop didn't even work!

With no choice but to force one out to ensure the spot went as planned, Maverick improvised for the good of his colleagues and managed to do the deed on command, understandable stage fright be damned. Ironic that he was p*ssing himself, because nobody else in the live crowd or watching at home were laughing.
