There are countless WWE backstage stories of wrestlers with a short form, taking down large Superstars. The most famous one might be that of Chris Jericho and Goldberg, from the latter's initial WWE stint. Another incident such as this, which isn't talked about much, involves JBL and Joey Styles. The incident happened way back in 2008, while WWE was on a tour to Iraq. JBL has a reputation of being a backstage bully, and many former WWE employees have confirmed the same.

The former WWE Champion went a bit far this time

While on the tour, JBL picked on Styles on a regular basis. Reportedly, JBL called him names, acted in a condescending manner towards the WWE commentator, and even spilled a drink on him.

Finally, Joey Styles had had enough of JBL's hazing, and he decided to do something about it. When Styles confronted JBL, the WWE Superstar was drunk. It didn't take long for the altercation to turn physical, and it all ended with Styles connecting a punch on JBL. As per the reports, a bunch of wrestlers stepped in and broke up the fight.
