10 Weirdest Real-Life WWE Friendships

2. Paul London & Brian Kendrick & Chris Benoit

In the early 2000s Chris Benoit and Bob Holly took it upon themselves to take Paul London and Brian Kendrick under their wings. They saw potential in the talented but somewhat undersized duo and, suspecting that they weren't taking the job seriously enough, Holly and Benoit took it upon themselves to whip them into shape. That meant 5am gym sessions, eating inhuman amounts of steak in order to beef up and erm, some other things. Paul London retells a story on their Highspots shoot interview where Benoit and Jamie Noble told him that he should have sex with a waitress while they watched from a hotel closet. What else are friends for, eh? Despite the insanity (both London and Kendrick claim they knew Benoit was crazy) they bonded with the Rabid Wolverine and Benoit would often use Kendrick to demonstrate technique to other wrestlers and was very complimentary of their work.
