When dealing with a backstage altercation, a sign of disrespect or someone who decided to break the unwritten code of the locker room, what are the best means of prosecution? Two words: Wrestlers’ Court.

The concept of Wrestlers’ Court was first started by Dutch Mantel, years ago, as a way for the boys to settle their differences backstage. He brought in the concept soon after the murder of Bruiser Brody as Mantel happened to be in the arena when the stabbing took place, not wanting another backstage altercation to ever escalate to that level again.

Wrestlers’ Court maintains order behind the scenes and acts as a check and balance system to show that no one is above the law.

• Undertaker was usually the judge (JBL and Triple H have filled that spot too)
  

• There were prosecuting attorneys as well as defense attorneys who backed up the accused.
  

• Punishments were usually on the lighter side of things (the guilty party usually settling ordeals through gifting bottles of Jack Daniels, cases of beer, or food), although some unpopular figures backstage have been on the receiving end of much harsher justice in wrestlers court.
