10 Funniest Backstage Revelations From Wrestling Podcasts

LOLTNA is the most spectacular archive of the Orlando outfit's abject failures over the 15 years it's miraculously stuck around for, but it often falls to the performers themselves to highlight the magnitude of the potential stench of stupidity and unprofessionalism emanating from the very definition of pro wrestling's 'Number Two'.

Referencing how tight the WWE ship what ran during a podcast chat with Chris Jericho, Aries contrasted that to a more ramshackle experience before an episode of Impact.

Required to film a brief 'walking to the ring' shot, Aries forcefully requested that he not be shot below the waist. The scene had been thrust upon him, and he wasn't dressed appropriately for how he wanted his character to be portrayed. Having already had his fingers burned by the production staff in the past, Aries elected to drop a b*llock before TNA did themselves.

He filmed the entire skit with one testicle out. 'The Greatest Man That Ever Lived' was far more confident that the wardrobe malfunction would render the footage unusable on the off chance his request wasn't adhered to.
