11. Almost Getting Fired From WWE Before Starting
Bill tells the tale of how the entire group of WCW wrestlers who appeared in the audience at WrestleMania X-7 almost getting fired for the Invasion ever had a chance to kick off. Shawn Stasiak, who had previously wrestled for WWE as Meat, leaked the names of all eleven wrestlers who would be appearing to the dirtsheets, prompting Kevin Dunn to demand that they all be fired. John Laurinaitis broke the news to DeMott, who called Lance Storm, and they got read the riot act from Laurinaitis until Stasiak confessed. So the planned angle of having these guys in the ring with Shane McMahon at WrestleMania was changed to them being barely glimpsed onscreen from a skybox high in the stands.
