Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho's friendship for the ages seems to be on the rocks at the moment, breaking the hearts of many WWE fans in the process. To many it is a surprise that Jeri-KO lasted this long, as friendships don't exactly come with a long shelf life in professional wrestling.

Every single year in wrestling is punctuated by example after example of broken alliances, of further reasons as to why wrestlers should trust themselves and no-one else. If anything, it is surprising that there aren't more true lone wolves in professional wrestling.

But there have been a number of lone wolves in the main promotions over the years, men who realised that there was nobody they could trust, individuals who walked alone along the choppy streets of the pro graps world. The men who stood alone in the crowd, the men who attacked before they could be attacked and needed no help to do so.

You may have some of your own favourites, but here are 9 of the best lone wolves in professional wrestling history, featuring a rattlesnake, an icon and an Olympic bronze medallist.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
