10 Weirdest Real-Life WWE Friendships

6. Randy Orton & Santino

Before he got his own tour bus, Randy Orton used to travel with Santino, of all people. Orton has had many noteworthy travel partners over the years. Mark Jindrak and Orton used to ride together in 2003 and used to get up to all kinds of mischief on the road. They even staged a pretend fight outside of Kowloon's, a popular restaurant for wrestlers in Massachusetts, simply for their own amusement. Jindrak's immaturity cost him a spot in Evolution and he moved to Smackdown soon after. Orton also rode with Chris Masters in 2005/6 and the two of them got up to more mischief, including being pulled over by police on a couple of occasions. Santino apparently calmed Orton down and kept him on the straight and narrow. Orton has called Santino the funniest person he has ever met, quite an achievement when you consider some of the characters in wrestling, and says he misses travelling with him now that he has his own tour bus. Yes, the Cobra and the Viper are good friends backstage. Sounds like a cartoon you would see on the WWE Network, doesn't it?
