The Bodydonnas did enjoy a brief run as WWF Tag-Team Champions in 1996, but they were never taken too seriously as a top duo in the promotion. Sunny, however, was starting to blow up and garner a lot of attention...both in front of the cameras and behind the scenes.

She'd started to develop quite the ego, and wasn't exactly popular with some on the roster. According to Jim Cornette, this horrible story happened on a live event when Candido and Prichard were off the road. The Godwinns brought their slop buckets backstage and told the roster they'd be dumping them on Sunny that evening.

The team jokingly warned wrestlers to leave them alone, but Jim believes everyone p*ssed, spit, sh*t etc in them. Isn't professional wrestling lovely? No, Sunny wasn't popular, but there's no excuse for that sort of thing. It's shocking to hear something so disgusting palmed off as jovial, light-hearted humour.

Yuck.
