Rocky Johnson and Tony Atlas will always have a part in history as the first African-American tag-team to hold the WWE Tag-Team Championships. Even as the duo were portrayed as close friends on-screen, things were different in real life.

Johnson and Atlas’ personalities just never meshed together. Johnson was reportedly unhappy multiple times with Atlas, who showed up late for tapings. Johnson felt that Atlas’ nonchalance hurt his own future also. There have also been reports of the two trading blows in the locker room when things got too heated.

We end this list with The Mega Powers - Hulk Hogan and Macho Man Randy Savage. Despite being the two biggest babyfaces in the company, things in the back were not friendly.

The duo were constantly in each others face backstage with Macho Man never really trusting Hogan. Macho Man accused Hogan of trying to steal his moment on several occasions.

In one interview, here’s what Macho Man had to say about Hogan:

Hogan will try to suck the blood from anyone to get himself over. Every time anyone did something good, you’d look over and there [Hogan’s] face was…

The duo did, however, patch things up before Macho Man’s death in 2011.
