#4 Mr. Perfect and Tom Fleming almost fought backstage in WWE

Mr. Perfect once got involved in an altercation with former WWE costume designer Tom Fleming during a row about Adam Bomb’s wrestling singlet. Perfect felt the design was too similar to his attire, so he confronted Fleming backstage.

Speaking to Pro Wrestling Defined’s Jonathan O’Dwyer, Fleming said he seriously thought the WWE Superstar was going to hit him:

“He was this far from me [presses hand close to nose], and there was a moment, I have to admit, where I looked at him and I was like, ‘He’s not one of the bigger guys.’ I was like, ‘I think he’s gonna hit me, and if he hits me, it’s going down,’ and I was like, ‘Holy cr*p,’” Fleming said.

Fleming told Mr. Perfect to take up the issue with Vince McMahon. The former Intercontinental Champion “screamed and yelled” about the situation, but McMahon simply laughed and did not have a problem with Adam Bomb’s singlet.

According to Fleming, Mr. Perfect “punched a locker and stormed off” after failing to get what he wanted.
