#2. WWE Hall of Famers Kurt Angle and Eddie Guerrero

Eddie Guerrero was well-liked backstage in WWE throughout his career and was able to make many life-long friends.

The WWE Hall of Famer was also one of the company's most exceptional talents and was pushed into some entertaining feuds. One of these was against Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle, who was also one of his closest friends.

Earlier this year, Angle himself was able to reveal to Sportsrush what happened after Guerrero disagreed with how much force he used in the ring:

“We were in the ring and we had to get heat on him in the ring. That means beat him up. My gang of guys, that means Luther Reigns and Mark Jindrak and myself, I didn’t touch Eddie but they did. I guess they laid into him pretty hard and he came backstage. He was mad and he approached me and said, “Why did you lay into me like that? You beat the cr*p out of me. He actually used a lot more swear words. [laughs] And I said 'Eddie, I didn’t touch you' and he said I did and he pushed me. I said 'Don’t push me again' and I pushed him back. He tried to double-leg me and it wasn’t that hard to fight him off, me being an amateur wrestler. It was pretty easy and I put him in a chokehold and started choking him out and then Big Show broke it up. Thank god, because I loved Eddie and I didn’t want to fight Eddie,” revealed Angle.

Of course, Angle and Eddie remained close friends throughout their time in WWE, and even after this altercation they continued their feud on TV and were able to maintain a professional rapport.
