10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Nov 30)

Another story Bischoff told on his 83 Weeks pod was about the heavy prosthetics and make up job he went under to play priest in the Billy & Chuck wedding angle. Eric said he had to arrive at the building for 9am and undergo around four hours in the make up chair before he was ready.

Then, naturally, he had a blast wandering around ribbing the living sh*t out of everyone he could backstage.

Bischoff made a point of going up to those he knew very well and finding out if they could see through the disguise. When he approached Eddie Guerrero and asked him about whiskey, the ex-WCW star was none the wiser and talked gently to who he thought was a kindly old man lucky enough to get behind the curtain on a WWE show.

When others similarly failed to spot Bischoff behind the liquid latex, he knew he was onto something and would have a ball ripping it off later that night. It remains one of his favourite angles to this day.
