10 REAL Backstage Wrestling Fights You Didn't Know About

Who is the most deluded wrestler in the history of the business?

It's a more fierce competition than the Bloodsport Kumite would have been, were it real. Hulk Hogan lives on a different plane of existence altogether. The man literally believes himself capable of time travel. Seth Rollins thought WWE was good in 2019 in his role as an anthropomorphic toxic positivity engagement account. Matt Hardy thinks he holds the key to AEW's turnaround.

Then, you have Chavo Guerrero. He hasn't said anything that mad in shoot interviews, but he did once square up to the Big Show.

Back in 2004, as revealed by Jim Ross on his podcast earlier this year, the Big Show was "busting Chavo's balls" at the tail-end of an arduous loop. The conflict was premised on Show burying Chavo for being short, and Chavo responding by calling Show fat and lazy. This was basically a message board argument centred on size versus workrate, except with a giant who could kill you on one computer and not some pale keyboard warrior. Before it got out of hand, Chavo apparently took an almighty shove before all involved realised it would be a sham of a contest.

This one is just funny, since Chavo emerged with his life intact.
