Who's actually buddies with whom?

[Burst]

I'm not actually sure what the proper grammar for the title is, but either way.

This was born out of a blurb in another topic about how Rey Mysterio was pushed to the moon as Eddie's bereaved best friend in the height of Eddiesploitation, yet Eddie's autobiography barely mentions Rey Rey at all. This was also born out of both Yoshi and R-Truth being repeatedly mentioned as Cena's best friends, et cetera, and of course Batista and Rey, you know the meme.

Who's actually friends backstage? Are Edge and Christian actual best friends? Are there any new cliques forming up, besides the mostly-departed OMEGA group? I've heard nothing about who's actually buddy buddy or who hangs with who and who's a dick that nobody hangs with or anything like that.

E&C are childhood friends and have been together pretty much their whole careers(except from late 2005 - early 2009), so it's safe to say they are friends.

I assume Punk, Bryan, Kaval and Bourne at least get along considering their past in the indies.

Other than that I don't know.

[Pervy Stone Cold]

I've heard Luke Gallows and someone (not Punk) are pretty tight in real life.

And I'd also probably throw Jamie Noble and Seth Rollins in there too.

Also, I seem to recall an interview with Morrison in which he claimed that he was hanging out with Miz backstage at the time the pros and rookies from NXT1 were revealed, so there's that.

Tyler Black wasn't in ROH at the same time as Low Ki, Punk and was debuting on Sydal's going away show.

There was a NEWZ story a while back about a new Kliq of Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Mr. Kennedy, MVP, and Umaga. (I think that was it, but I may be wrong. I know for a fact Orton, Mysterio, and Youmanga were part of it.)

Now that's a random group.

[Marvelously Mediocre]

I like to think Nexus are all mates backstage and casually beat up Yoshi Tatsu every so often.

[________ has left the building]

Shelton Benjamin, Charlie Haas, Carlito, Melina, R-Truth, and MVP are all real life friends. Umaga was part of that inner circle.

Then there was the OMEGA cligue of Jeff and Matt Hardy, Shannon Moore, and Shane Helms.

Whom is used when it's the object of the sentence. Jim Neidhart is used when it's the subject of the sentence.

I've been to the Smackdown wrestler's hotel last night in Germany

Tyson Kidd, Natalya and Kofi talked for about 2 hours eating dinner...Ziggler was there for a long time as well

Arn Anderson, Finlay, Kane and some road manager guy were at the same table also for 2 hours

Otunga, Husky and someone unknown were at the same table for some time (Gabriel went to his room quickly after eating, accompanied by Kelly² of course)

Alberto went out with Kaval, Cody Rhodes and possibly DH Smith (hitting the clubs/bars I guess)

Rey, Edge, MVP, Tyler Reks and Big Show went up to their rooms alone respectively

also, from what I've read Morrison is pretty tight with Miz and Punk...Cena is very tight with Orton and VinnieMac

You mean E&C aren't brothers?

Well that doesn't seem right if Kennedy AND Orton are in it. I'm pretty sure they hate each other because of the whole Kennedy almost injuring Orton thing, and as a result Orton got Kennedy fired.

When you think of backstage circles, you gotta think of the original crew, The Kliq. It consisted of Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, and X-Pac(back then, The 1-2-3 Kid.) They even took members such as Justin Credible under their wing and the late Louie Spicolli was best buds with Shawn and Hunter.

And then there was of course BSK (Back Stage Krew, or Brotherhood of Solidarity Knights.) Which consisted of Undertaker, Papa Shango, Rikishi, Mideon, Yokozuna, and Brian Lee.

But as for currently, Maria, Melina and Mickie are good friends to my knowledge. Edge is also a childhood friend of Sinn Bowdie (Kizarny) and is a good friend of A-Train, Test(before he passed away.), and Rhyno.

I LOL'd.

[Melissalicious]

Orton has said on his Twitter that one of his very best friends is Santino, which I thought was awesome.

They're not even brothers in kayfabe any more. They kind of subtly dropped that.

It was well before that.

I know Punk is close with Ryder, Hawkins and Domino.

[ben:friendship frog]

A complete guess but i'd like to think the NXT season one guys are all friends. After having to go through all those stupid tasks together for 6 months i'd find it hard to believe there isn't a bond. Not to mention them all being together in Nexus for a while.
