Wrestlers fight backstage. Do you want to know how I know this? Because they're human beings. Given the news machine though, people love hearing about them, which I totally do understand. Hello my friends, I am Simon from what culture. And just to give you what does tickle your taste buds, here's 10 that you may not know about. Number 10, Eddie Guerrero versus Hawk. I mean, I wasn't sure before this if they ever shared a locker room together, it shows what I know, nothing. Nothing.

0:24.0

Now it is important to note that throughout his career, Eddie was basically considered by everyone to be a super humble human being who even was down on his luck, even when he was on top of the world. That was just the kind of guy he was. That's why it's kind of ironic that he got into a fight with one half of the road warriors on an occasion where he just showed a little bit of arrogance. Happily when Guerrera was teaming with Art Bar, he went up to Animal and Hawke and he was like, man, have you seen us out there? I do believe right now we are the best tag team in the world. Now of course the future Legion of Doom thought that they held such an accolade, so Haw said to Ed, well listen man, if we're talking about junior heavyweights maybe, but tag teams, man, try again. And I think Guerrero may have taken a little bit of fence to this, so we doubled down on it. Apparently right after that, Hawk just smacked him in the face, though. If you think that sounds unnecessary, yes, you'd be right. Sounds like they made up pretty quickly after this, and again, just go through everything that Eddie Guerrero did is an absolute hero. Number nine, Hawk versus two cold Scorpio. Well, it ain't looking too great for Hawk, is it? We've gone two for two. Whatever reason, though, he and Two Cold Scorpio just didn't get on, and they decided, like Russell Crow, to take their foyer in around the world. And the one we are going to talk about today apparently went down when WCW were doing those North Korea shows, which you should absolutely go and read about. Apparently, Scorpio wasn't happy on any of this tour, was actively walking around and man, that Rick Flair driving around his limousine and we're in the bus,

1:45.3

he is not a locker room leader at all. Too cold also felt like the nature boy was holding him back in his career,

1:50.6

and when Hawke heard about this, I guess he felt there was a hierarchy. So once again, he punched Two Cold Scorpio in the face.

1:57.3

Now the first blow was thrown outside of a hotel when the rest of the roster broke it up,

2:01.0

and because they were in North Korea, I think cooler heads prevailed, with Hawk and Scorpio

2:06.3

deciding, well, let's just get back to America and we can continue this on.

2:10.3

It somehow still got into this when they were on the bus, but thankfully then, when we did

2:14.2

return to America, I think everybody realized it's not worth it, and they did what anybody should do, they just stopped talking to each other. Good. Number 8, C.M. Punk versus Teddy Hart. This one has to come with a pinch of salt because it does come from the mouth of Teddy Hart, although Paul London did back him up. But yeah, Ted has told many a tale over his time, and a lot of them are baloney. Kicking off when they were both in NWA T&A, however, apparently they had a disagreement in a restaurant. When they went outside, they threw some fisticuffs with maybe apparently allegedly Teddy Hart getting the better of it. But again, who was telling the story, it is Teddy Hart. You're going to have to make your own mind down. London has also been very vocal about his feelings towards CM Punk. And look, I'm sure there was some kind of a scuffle, but if the result was as cut and dry as it was made out, well, I don't know. Number seven, William Regal versus Van Hammer. So I don't think you want to mess with William Regal, he's one tough mother hubbard. Now if you need proof of that, just go and watch him and Finley fight each other in WCW. They just punch each other right in the face. It's the stiffest thing you'll ever see in your life. I'm not sure Van Hammer knew any of this though, because apparently during a Christmas party hosted by DDP, the Hamm man was walking around going, oh, man, I'm getting pushed so hard, and I ain't doing anything. And Wrigal took such great offence to this, he went and punched him. He also followed out with a headbutt that knocked Van Hammer out. There's also other reports that apparently Van was saying, oh man, the European style absolutely sucks. So a small part of me was like, what did you think was going to happen? It's also not true because when it comes to wrestling, you need all these different styles. But once again, even though he's in his 50s now, if you want to go mess with Regal, just dog. Number six, the Big Show versus Chavo Guerrero. Well, you've got to give it to ooh Chavo. He decided to try it on with the Big Show, which is a really stupid idea.

3:59.3

Jim Ross talked about this on his podcast and took us back to 2004.

4:03.3

And when the pair were on a long, gruelling tour, as opposed Big Show decided he needed to take the Mick out of someone, so he picked Charvo.

4:10.3

This was really childlike because the real-life Paul White was all, ha, ha, Charvo, you're really small.

4:14.8

So Guerrero fired back with, well, yeah, you're fat and lazy. This is when the big show pushed Charvo. And thankfully, that's when it was broken up. Because I imagine even though it was just one shove, Guerrero ended up in the other room. And apparently this was true as well because everybody realized, oh my gosh, this is going to go bad so quickly,

4:31.6

much like when Chris Jericho

4:33.1

tried to take on Brock Lesner. Now look, fair play to Jericho, that takes some gahones, but as he has said too, he would have died. Number five, Paul Orndorff versus Tony Atlas. So I suppose in many ways this would be big men slapping man meat. It's also flabbing ridiculous.

4:49.2

Because even though it was Paul Orndorff and Tony Atlas, who were basically legends when

4:52.4

it comes to pro wrestling, they had a falling out over legroom.

4:57.3

Oh dear.

4:58.3

Brian Blair, who was also in this vehicle though, managed to recount all of this and said that

5:01.9

Atlas was in a bad proof anyway as he sat around going

5:05.1

oh man apart from Andre the Giant nobody could beat me up for real so he's 10 this irked

5:10.6

Paul as I suppose he saw himself as somewhat of a tough guy and tensions got so high
