10 Wrestlers Who Were Pissed As Soon As They Got Backstage

5. Guerrero And Angle Come To Blows

On the surprisingly rare occasions they faced off in the ring together (go look it up, it's way fewer than you think) Kurt Angle vs. Eddie Guerrero was about as thrilling a combination as the WWE has ever had. The two were technical masters of their craft, but both had styles that seamlessly complemented and yet strikingly contrasted the other.

They were, together, flawless... except for that time they weren't.

In 2004, the pair came to blows backstage after a match between them on SmackDown had embarrassingly unraveled. Angle, entirely correctly if slightly unkindly, laid the blame entirely at Guerrero's feet and chewed him out as soon as they got behind the curtain. He'd botched a number of moves, forgotten a sequence, gone wildly off-script, and Angle demanded to know why.

The argument descended into a shoving match and, never one to back down from an honest fight, Guerrero set about Angle and tried to execute, of all things, an Olympic-style takedown in the middle of the locker room. Just to make sure the impact of that sentence hasn't been lost, Eddie Guerrero, not an Olympic gold medal-winning wrestler, attempted to take down Kurt Angle, an actual Olympic gold medal-winning wrestler, with an Olympic wrestling move.

Angle, as I'm sure you can imaging, easily countered the move and put Eddie in a headlock before the pair were broken up by the rest of the locker room. Later, JBL would ask Guerrero why he tried that, to which he simply replied, "Because I'm stupid."
