10 Backstage Wrestling Rivalries You Won't Believe

Wrestling is a highly competitive business, and sometimes people don't see eye-to-eye!

In any workplace, there are people who simply don't get along - some folks just have vastly different personalities, which clash when they come face-to-face. It's just the way life is, not everybody can be expected to be friendly all the time, and some plain just don't like each other. Professional wrestling is no different, but such animosity comes with a twist. In such a macho, competitive world, it's only natural that many performers will have locker room disagreements at some point in their careers. Sometimes, the promotion employing both parties can capitalise on the sense of real heat, with one classic example being WWE's decision to book John Cena opposite The Rock over the span of a few years. An issue stemming from comments Cena had made previously about him, Dwayne Johnson didn't appreciate his love of wrestling being called into question, and thus a feud was born. That particular duo obviously aren't the only ones to have backstage disagreements, and it can often get physical. Here are some of the most memorable backstage scuffles and rivalries between two people in history, and some you simply won't believe ever happened. Imagine being a fly on the fall during these heated discussions and physical confrontations!
