Former Star Reveals Why WWE Banned Pets Backstage

A former WWE star has explained why the company no longer allows talent to bring their pets backstage at shows.

Speaking on his House of Hardcore podcast, Tommy Dreamer recalled the time when wrestlers were able to do that, but it sounds like there was too much of a mess left behind.

He said:

“In WWE, there became a point where they banned animals from the back, because — and it was funny, it was always the women and there was locker rooms that were left horrible and there was one where they finally complained because there was poop left in the locker room, there was pee and the girls — because at one point it was like a zoo. I think four of the girls had animals and then one of the boys brought in one of his dogs and then WWE banned it. ‘You can’t have fun. You’re at work damn it’.”
