Municipal Waste Vocalist Recalls Suffering An Injury As A Runner For WWE

Municipal Waste vocalist Tony Foresta worked for WWE during the ThunderDome era and revealed he ended up blowing out his knee as a backstage runner. He told Blabbermouth the following about what happened:

“I got a job with WWE. I was working in the ‘ThunderDome’ or whatever it was called. I was in ‘Smackdown’ and ‘RAW’. I was in the bubble with the wrestlers. At first, I was helping in the kitchen, cutting carrots, doing all that stuff. But when WrestleMania came around, I got a gig as a runner. I had my own WWE van. I took laundry to the laundromat and got shit for the dressing room and food for everybody. It was fucking awesome. That’s when I fucked my knee up for real. The two weeks before WrestleMania, you’re just running, running, running and you’re building this huge stage and all this stuff. I was running all over the place. The week after WrestleMania, we’re breaking everything down and I had a week off, then we were going to get back to it. I got my second Covid shot and then I don’t know what happened; some inflammation or crazy shit was happening, but it was a combination [COVID shot and years of wear and tear from jumping around on stage] and my knee exploded. I couldn’t walk for four or five months. Then I finally got the surgery, then that was a whole other timeframe of getting that back,” he told Blabbermouth.
