Peeing your pants live on air is a constant concern for every pro wrestling announcer.

No, really. WWE Raw's Byron Saxton is often out there behind the desk for a solid four-five hours (he tapes Main Event too), and there's nowhere to relieve himself if he needs to p*ss during live broadcasts; that problem was exacerbated during even longer WrestleMania shows in the past.

Saxton broached this potentially-embarrassing subject with Ryan Satin's 'Out Of Character' show, and he even revealed his own personal methods to ensure he doesn't wet himself during WWE's flagship. The big secret? Just...hang around the urinals for a good half hour before going live and pee a lot.

Here's Byron to explain: "I’m just squeezing every ounce out that I can because I’m so paranoid".

The glitz and glamour of showbiz, eh? Seriously though, this is a weekly issue for everyone on the Raw announce squad. Saxton says he often dances around in his chair because he's desperate to hit the loos but has nowhere to go.

He even admitted to crying tears of joy after one broadcast ended and he was able to p*ss following hours of holding it in.

Wrestling is great, isn't it?
