made sure I had my wallet and my cell phone, and I went for a walk. Twenty minutes later I get to the old Dunkin’ Donuts and hang out there for an hour. Got a donut, a coffee, and a cheese-whatever, then I got some more, then I started my long walk back to the hotel. When I was on my way back, I stumbled upon a gentlemen’s club that was halfway between the Dunkin’ Donuts and my hotel. And that’s where I spent the rest of my night. The club was alcohol free, so I just sat there and drank bottled water and enjoyed myself.
    Blame It on Eve
    Tyson Kidd
    One weird trip was this time we were headed to New York City for TV. In our car was the Hart Dynasty and the Great Khali. And then, whoever Eve was riding with originally on the loop had to go to Raw , so now Eve was riding with us to New York as well. We’re all crammed in this car. And Khali, he has to sit like this—it’s not his fault, but he has to sit in the front seat with the seat leaning all the way back. So whoever is sitting behind him, and it’s usually me, Khali is right in your lap. We always try to make things easier for Khali, and I have a hotel room where Khali is staying, but we decide we’re going to drop off Khali, then drive Eve to her hotel, which is totally out of the way, then we’re going to drive back to our hotel. So we drop Khali off, and this is after a show and after eating, so this is like three in the morning, and now we’re driving Eve back to her hotel, but there is all this construction on the road, so now it’s like four in the morning. On our GPS, it says we’re going to get back to our hotel at five, and there’s all the same construction we just drove through in order to get back. So we decide to forget it, we’re just going to look up hotels and stay at the closest one to us. We end up finding some little rat-hole hotel in New York, but we figure it’s worth it just to save the time. But when we get to the hotel, the room is so hot, we can’t even breathe. To make things worse, the people staying in the room above us were running around, and the walls and floor were so thin, it sounded like these people were in our room. I didn’t sleep the whole night at all. Then the next morning, we had to go back and drive another hour to go pick up Khali and take him to the building. And guess what? The hotel we were originally going to stay at was right next to the arena. The moral of the story: Don’t help Eve. And that’s because she’s associated with Cryme Tyme. Don’t ever help out anyone associated with Cryme Tyme. That’s my recommendation.
    Roll of the Dice
    Chris Jericho
    If you go to one hotel and it’s sold out, that usually means that all of the hotels in that area are going to be sold out, and that means you have problems. There have been plenty of times when Eddie Guerrero and myself and this referee named Mark Curtis had to sleep in the car in the parking garage of the airport. I’d put my alarm on the dash so we didn’t sleep late, then I’d brush my teeth with a bottle of water and go from there. There are other times when you wish you slept in your car because you get to your room, there are towels everywhere, pubic hairs on the toilet, stains on the carpet that you don’t even want to know where they came from. You never really know what you’re going to get, especially if you’re not smart enough to make your own reservations. Sometimes you just roll the dice and hope for the best with the type of room you’re going to get.
    Not the Best Time for a Swim
    Nikki Bella
    We are in Green Bay, and we are staying in this hotel that also has a casino. So after dinner and a few glasses of wine, I tell Brie, “C’mon, let’s just go to bed. We have to catch our flights in the morning.” But she was like, “No, no, let’s go to the casino.” But I kept telling her, “No, it’s time to go to bed.” So we get to our room and I’m getting into bed, but she is stomping up and down on the bathroom floor.
