Two very popular UK wrestlers who wrestled in the UK who did not see eye to eye outside the wrestling ring were Billy Robinson and Peter Maivia. Were there any other top UK Wrestlers who did not see eye to eye outside the square ring?

I would make two points:
- there must have been plenty of pairings who didn't even know each other, or barely knew each other, or didn't get on. But the nature of PROFESSIONAL wrestling just enabled them to get on with it.
- from the above, intimiate relationships developed fast, and, as a result, friendships. Wrestling is so physical and dangerous.
I know of two arguing about the outcome of a bout beforehand, each wanting to go over; but in the groin, they were pros and just ran through the bout, each selling the other's offensives.
I mis-read the title. Never mind. I answered the opposite ☺
Ive heard many rumours and sometimes it was good for the sport to let those rumours continue but who knows whats true and what isnt. Put any group of people together and theres bound to be personality clashes, I like to think on the whole they were mostly mates and shared a mutual respect. I once saw Sid Cooper and Mal Saunders having a laugh in Fairfield car park after knocking seven bells out of each other half an hour beforehand.
