10 Things You Didn't Know About Shane Helms

10. His Backstage Fight With Rodney Mack

Backstage fights are common in the testosterone-powered world of pro-wrestling. These are jacked-up, hyper-masculine men confined to the small space that is the locker room and with all the egos and pride and muscle involved, confrontations are always going to happen.

As you will read in this article, Helms is no stranger to scrapping with his co-workers. At a September 2003 house show in Knoxville, Tennessee, Hurricane and Rodney Mack got into a scrap backstage. Apparently the whole thing came about because Helms was planning out that nights match (Hurricane & Rosey Vs. Mack & Mark Henry) and objected to Teddy Long's charge throwing in his two cents.

Helms felt that he, as the veteran, should be entrusted to put the whole thing together and told Mack as such. Words were exchanged and a fight broke out. According to reports, Mack was the clear victor, with Helms having to be taken to hospital when all was said and done.

The planned tag matches for upcoming shows were then changed to Mack & Henry versus Mark Jindrak & Garrison Cade and Hurricane & Rosey versus Tommy Dreamer & Steven Richards in order to avoid any further incident.
