Before I start, I just want to remind everyone that this thread is based on the rumour mill surrounding what happens behind the scenes.
Ribbing in the WWE has been around longer than I care to go into. Reading Mick Foley's books and seeing some of the stories that came out of there had me in fits of laughter. Like when Foley and Steve Austin were sharing a room with DDP and allegedly they placed crumbled cookies in his bed sheets because they knew it would make him mad, or the time Steve Austin and Steve (William) Regal goaded Foley onto a beach only for Foley to realise it was a gay beach.
Lets not forget also the likes of Chris Jericho and the ribs he played, including his alter ego Drunkicho. Reading about these when done in jest, are real slices of great comedy for the average wrestling fan.
Recently I read that allegedly, the reason for the stop in the push of Alex Riley was because John Cena punked him out rib style in front of some other talent and Riley didn't take too kindly to it. Now I know that it is all purely hearsay and it may not have happened at all. But it does go to prove that if you take a rib the wrong way, it may have serious implications on your future in the WWE.
What are your thoughts on ribbing in the WWE?
Can you think of any other funny stories from other wrestlers?
Does Cena have the right to rib other guys to that extent if what is alleged is true?
