10 Shocking Incidents Of Unprofessional Conduct In WWE

8. Backstage Brawls

While not exactly commonplace in other forms of business, it does stand to reason that a group of highly competitive and athletically gifted dominant males would butt heads from time to time in the locker rooms of WWE arenas. After all, it happens in other major sports as well, when all that testosterone is flowing about.. But it seems that wrestlers are more prone to going from work to shoot whenever they have a disagreement with a colleague than most athletes. Here's just a few examples of notorious real life fights that taken place in the last decade or so: Ric Flair vs. Eric Bischoff - These two were still harboring some very bitter animosity toward each other when they both finally came together in WWE back in 2003. From The Nature Boy's perspective, he went over decisively on his former boss, but according to Eric it was barely even a scuffle and no damage was done. Chris Jericho vs. Bill Goldberg - Yet another example of WCW's old wounds being reopened in the WWE. Supposedly Y2J confronted Goldberg over some comments he made and the two came to blows, with Jericho taking his much larger opponent down and holding him in a front facelock. The two have since squashed their beef for the most part, but it just goes to show that size doesn't always matter. Batista vs. Booker T - During a 2006 photoshoot, Batista's attitude had apparently grated on Booker's nerves to the point that he issued a challenge, and the two big men locked horns. He contends that he delivered Big Dave a handy beating. The Big Show vs. The Great Khali - This battle of the behemoths took place at a Puerto Rico house show in 2009. Big Show was said to have slipped, allowing Khali to mount him and get in a few slaps before the military scrambled fighter jets to break up the two kaiju. Joey Styles vs. JBL - Let's not forget everyone's favorite underdog story, when the former commentator finally had enough of the notorious bully's antics and dropped him with a punch. This one is even more notable because JBL has always been considered a legit tough guy and had 10 inches and 130 pounds on his much smaller foe.
