Friendships in wrestling work more differently than normal friendships. Wrestlers sometimes force their friends to have intercourse with a drunken elderly woman. Wrestlers sometimes talk their friends into having intercourse with 280-pound fans. Wrestlers at times watch the door as their friend has intercourse with the girlfriend of a colleague. On a lighter note, wrestlers sometimes shave eyebrows of their friends.

That said, not all wrestlers aren’t crazy meatheads, though. Some of them have done truly amazing things to their friends. For instance, Diamond Dallas Page made a timely intervention, helping his old buddy Jake Roberts out. DDP has also helped numerous other friends of his, with Chris Jericho being a major example.

Some wrestlers continue to be amazing friends despite ups and downs, as they hang out even after their hair greying. For instance, Christian and Edge don’t only continue to be best friends but also continue working together, making weekly podcasts. Triple H and Shawn Michaels continue to be best pals, just like Kevin Nash and Scott Hall are. We have many such lovely stories.

That said, we’ve also had numerous friends having a falling out, and tag-team wrestling partners are no exception. Well, even The Mega Powers hated each other. In the following article, we’ll discuss 15 former tag-team partners who’ve grown to despise each other and no longer talk to each other. If you know about other former tag-team wrestlers not talking to each other, use the comments’ section to mention them.

15 Enzo and Cass

Given the chemistry between Enzo Amore and Big Cass, you might have expected them to be as close as Shawn Michaels and Triple H are today when they become older. However, just a few years into their working together, they’re no longer in talking terms, at least according to a few WWE insiders. You may be forgiven for thinking that The Certified G’s cheating on his then-girlfriend Liv Morgan and allegedly having relations with a fan against her wishes was what ended their friendship. However, the WWE insiders have stated that the former WWE Cruiserweight Championship winner stopped talking with his friend only because he didn’t complete his match with him after sustaining an ACL injury inside the ring. They definitely looked happy to be working together but, apparently, there’s more to things than what meets the eye.

14 La Resistance

The common consensus is that Canadians are the sweetest bunch of people to walk on the surface of the Earth. However, Ruthless Aggression Era tag-team partners Rene Dupree and Sylvain Grenier have shown that they can also hold a grudge for a very long time. The former made history by becoming the youngest wrestler to ever hold a major WWE title by winning tag-team gold with the latter, but he doesn’t really look back at his time working with him very fondly. On the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling podcast, while speaking of his tag-team partner, he said that he “didn’t like the guy” before revealing that they no longer talk to each other. The fact that he went on to sing the praises of Kenzo Suzuki, another ex-tag-team partner of his, shows us that something horrible must have transpired between them during their La Resistance days.

13 Scott Steiner and Buff Bagwell – New World Order

Much like most tag-teams on this list, Scott Steiner and Buff Bagwell, two former NWO members, did have a solid friendship before things took a turn for worse. When the two jacked-up wrestlers began hanging out in WCW’s heyday, they essentially looked unshakeable backstage, as The Big Poppa Pump’s repute and brute strength meant no one dared to cross them. However, the wicked WCW wrestlers went for the slow kill, as they tapped into the one-time WCW Heavyweight Championship winner’s insecurity to cause friction between the two. The Stuff, in a recent interview with Wrestling Inc., stated how he went from feeling wonderful while hanging with him to feeling animosity towards him in a matter of weeks. “The boys actually tore up me and Scotty to a point where I went from having the swagger of Scotty to it's me and him facing off,“ he said. Two decades on, it’s likely that they’re still not talking to each other.

12 The New Legion of Doom

Everything about WWE’s 2005 reboot of Legion of Doom looked wrong. While Christy Hemme replacing Sunny was digestible, the fact that they dared to replace late Road Warrior Hawk with arguably the worst wrestler on the roster in Heidenrich didn’t bode well with the fans. What made the reboot worse was Road Warrior Animal’s tainted relationship with then-novice Heidenrich. Apparently, Heidenrich acted passive aggressively when Road Warrior failed to repay the $5,000 Heidenrich had lent him fast enough. However, what showed the public that the 2005 reboot was an utter disaster was Heidenrich calling out Road Warrior’s family via YouTube. While Road Warrior put up with his immaturity while they were working together, seeing his son being pulled into the equation was broke the camel’s back for him, as they haven’t been in talking terms since.

11 Raven and Stevie Richards – The Flock

Raven and Stevie Richards both worked together in ECW and WCW in stables Raven’s Nest and The Flock, both headed by the former. As you’d expect, Raven denigrated the latter for as long as they were working together, as he believed that he was a poor-quality wrestler. Even after they went different ways, Raven patronized him at every opportunity that he got but, despite that, the former Blue World Order wrestler tried talking to him, texting, calling and paging him to no reply. They haven’t talked since, speaking ill of each other during shoot interviews.

While Richards has stated that Raven played a crucial role in his wrestling career, he did call him a jerk, among a lot of other things.

Raven himself has stated in an interview with Steve Austin that he didn’t like the way his protégé wrestled, two decades after he’d quit wrestling full-time. Their relationship is messed up, and it’s only understandable that they’re no longer talking to each other.

10 Sid Eudy and Arn Anderson – The Four Horsemen

The Four Horsemen, one of the best stables in wrestling history, on the back of Ole Anderson’s retirement, brought in Sid Eudy, and nobody seemed impressed. Arn Anderson, in particular, wasn’t a big fan of him being inducted into the legendary stable. When WCW was touring England in October 1993, the animosity between them peaked, with one of the two men reportedly intoxicated. The scuffle began with Sid throwing a chair arm at his teammate, who then retaliated by bringing a pair of scissors into the scene. They both stabbed each other, with both men sustaining a combined 24 cuts.

The Double A, however, ended up sustaining the most damage, as he lost a pint and a half of blood after receiving 20 stabs at the hands of Psycho Sid. Although neither man pressed charges against each other, it’s safe to say that they may not be very keen on talking to each other again.

9 The Young Stallions

When you form a tag team with two people who have never worked with each other, let alone travelled together, you’re likely to watch them throw punches at each other at some point. That’s exactly what happened when Vince McMahon decided to form an underdog tag team with two jobbers in Jim Powers and Paul Roma. While they worked like a charm in front of the camera, behind it, they detested each other. Even almost three decades after their teaming together, they don’t seem to have patched things up.

Roma claimed in a shoot interview that his tag-team partner had a drinking problem that made him unreliable and difficult. In response, the other Young Stallion referred to him as an egotistical person during an interview with Rolling Stone in 2015, Over 26 years after their break-up; the next entry will tell you why he’s right on the money.

8 Ric Flair and Paul Roma – The Four Horsemen

Paul Roma is, by the looks of things, an expert at buring bridges. When you cross Ric Flair, who is the only big-name wrestler from his era not to have any serious animosity toward any wrestler, you know that some of the things that you’re doing aren’t quite right. The former Young Stallions member somehow was put into what was then the hottest act in professional wrestling: The Four Horsemen. Arn Anderson and The Nature Boy didn’t mind much, especially with Ole Anderson not wrestling and Tully Blanchard failing a drug test.

However, the young up-and-coming former WWE jobber definitely regarded him higher than any other person did, as he seemed to be of the belief that The Nature Boy was jealous of his youth and good looks. Yes, The Nature Boy. The Nature Boy now has hip-hop tracks made in honor of him, but his former protege’s dissing him remains one of his major career highlights; that tells you something, doesn’t it?

7 The Rockers

You don’t need to be told how big a coward Marty Jannetty was to jump out of the window. We all know how the story goes. What many of us are oblivious of is the fact that they both actually remained close friends until Roddy Piper instigated a fight between the two when he said that Shawn Michaels was the more talented of the two. Not that anyone can dispute it, but when instigated, people hardly act radically, and we can’t blame them for throwing punches at each other. Since the fight, their relationship deteriorated, and they stopped talking at one point, with the less famous of the two often going on verbal tirades against his former teammate in shoot interviews ever since despite working with him intermittently until 2007.

With HBK now hanging with cooler persons in The Kliq, it’s only understandable that he hardly ever talks to his significantly less cool ex-teammate who speaks ill of him in front of the media.

6 CM Punk and Colt Cabana

CM Punk and Colt Cabana, former tag-team partners on the indies, were Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn before being Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn was cool. One would say they’re The Rockers of indie wrestling at least as far as individual success of the wrestlers is concerned. One became a superstar while the other became a relative nobody. That said, the fact CM Punk referenced his then-friend in his Pipebomb promo must tell you how close they were at one point.

However, the host of the Art of Wrestling podcast being backstage in a WWE event recently while they’re embroiled in a lawsuit with WWE seems to have given CM Punk enough reasons to cut ties with him. They don’t even follow each other on Twitter anymore. Here’s hoping they patch things up soon. We all need another podcast with those two just talking about wrestling, don’t we?

5 The Mexicools

The less we speak about The Mexicools, the better it is for everyone. Anyway, as we’ve decided to speak about them, we’ll just discuss the nicer things. WWE put together a group of talented Mexican wrestlers, Juventud Guerrera, Psicosis and Super Crazy to form The Mexicools, and they had some awesome matches at times.

JG, a five-time WCW and WWE Cruiserweight Championship winner, while being super talented, was never the easiest to work with. In fact, many inside the company found him often late to shows, being disruptive, unreliable and carrying an unbearable presence backstage. The fact that he thought highly of himself and even believed that Triple H, Batista and John Cena would feel threatened by him saw his teammates talk to the WWE management about the prospect of splitting them. His overall bad attitude meant that one of his teammates, Psicosis, didn’t take to him all too well. They still haven’t made up to this day.

4 Brian Kendrick and Paul London

Brian Kendrick and Paul London were easily two of the most talented tag-team wrestlers from the ‘00s. They both set the tag-team division ablaze with their outstanding work but, in real life, they didn’t have a good relationship. In a recent The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling podcast, the Lucha Underground star revealed that he hasn’t been speaking to him in a long time. “I haven't spoken to him in over a year,” he said in September 2016. “When you love something, as they say, you let it go and if it was meant to be it will come back. That's all I really have to say about him.”

They still haven’t talked, and the fact that he speaks in a condescending tone every time he talks about his former tag-team partner, his work in WWE and 205 Live (the sub-brand in which he’s predominantly featured) tells you that they’ll find smoothing things over rather difficult.

3 Tazz and Michael Cole

While not an in-ring tag team, the fact that Michael Cole and Tazz were the voices of SmackDown in the first brand extension and that they worked together side by side every week for years, we feel their current relationship is worth mentioning. Cole and Tazz had good chemistry together and many would argue Cole did the best work of his career in this time, but after Tazz moved on to TNA, the relationship was never the same. Tazz has revealed in more recent shoot interviews and on his podcast that him and Cole have barely spoken since Tazz joined the "competition" in 2009. Whether it's a case of friends growing apart or Cole having some sort of beef with Tazz, it seems their chemistry is a thing of the past.

2 Paul London and Billy Kidman

The fact that the more obscure wrestlers have more than one entry on this list tells you why they’re now obscure. Paul London was an outstanding wrestler – make no mistake about it. However, he’s sounded entitled in every single shoot interview that he’s done since leaving WWE. While he’s slated WWE at every opportunity that he’s got, he’s also never minced his words while talking about his former teammates. However, his comment on Billy Kidman only draws sympathy. “He [Billy Kidman] looked at me as a rookie, which in comparison to his tenure there I was,” he revealed in an interview. “Truth is it hurt; it hurt my feelings. This is somebody that I thought we really had a good thing going. I think I was just more a side dish to him.” In fact, he felt that he threw him under the bus to keep himself relevant. Veterans in wrestling acting holier-than-thou isn’t uncommon, but looking down upon someone who looks up to you isn’t right, and we side with the Lucha Underground star in this case.

1 Too Cool

Too Cool epitomized Attitude Era: they were both ridiculous and highly entertaining. While only Grandmaster Sexay and Scotty 2 Hotty remained the ever-present members of Too Cool, wrestling legend Rikishi did have a run with them, between 2000 and 2004. While they seemed to have tonnes of fun while they were dancing together in the squared circle, behind the curtains, Rikishi didn’t get along all too well with his Too Cool partners. Apparently, Rikishi had a falling out with them over an indie booking problem. Too Cool made a return to WWE in 2014, when they partook in a tag-team tournament in NXT, but Rikishi wasn’t with them.

When Rikishi made his Hall of Fame speech, he didn’t mention Too Cool, whom many think played a significant role in his career trajectory. Here’s hoping we get to see all three Too Cool members dancing in a WWE ring in the near future.
