One of the more time honored traditions in pro wrestling are the car trips. The long hours in a car traveling from show to show have been known to build friendships and create meaningful stories. Some of those stories remain among friends, and some of those stories now get told on podcasts.
Shane Helms was a guest on the Talk ‘N Shop Podcast and talked about his life as an active competitor for the WWE. Previous to his time as a producer, Helms enjoyed a successful stint in the WWE as The Hurricane and later Gregory Helms. Helms talked about a road story involving him, Jonathan Coachman, Christian, and Rhyno that was so funny, they almost died. Literally.
“The biggest shut the f— up, it was just, ‘Hey man,’ you know, the shut the f—- up, it started with Rhyno in a car, in a car ride with Rhyno because he just kept talking,” said Rhyno. “And we love him, but he just kept going on. And me, [Jonathan Coachman] and Christian, we always rode together, we were the car.
“And so Rhyno needed to ride with us for a couple weeks because I had like a media day weekend where I had to do some bull—-, so Rhyno jumped in, and the next weekend, he needed a ride, too, so he was there. And everybody loves him, very lovable person, but he was just talk, talk talk the whole time, you know, talking talking, talking. You know, sometimes you just gotta be quiet, you know? And so he’s just over there talking, I said, ‘He, man, I’m supposed to ask you something.’ And he goes, ‘Yeah, what?’ And I go, ‘Would you shut the f— up?’ About that time, Coach had a f—— big red Gatorade in his mouth, and it came out of his nose. ”
“He started laughing, and when it came out of his nose, he swerved over into f—— traffic, and so now Christian’s grabbing the f—— wheel because Coach is dying up there, and we’re all literally laughing, like Rhyno’s laughing too, he’s a big brother of mine, we’re all dying. So it just became that. How many different ways can you find somebody to shut the f—- up.”
He went on to reveal that during one of these games, the group was laughing so hard while Coachman was at the wheel that Coachman drove into ongoing traffic, Christian had to grab the steering wheel to avoid an accident while everyone was laughing, narrowly avoiding a terrible accident.
