Despite their reputations being completly opposite, for some reason I can buy HHH and Punk being fairly close.

This could actually go very far back. Edge and Lita broke up at some point in 06, and she started dating Punk in late 07 or early 08 and they all still had to work together backstage. Then you add that up with Punk dating Beth in 10-11, Edge and Lita getting spotted together back in '11 after he retired, then Lita and Punk back together again and Edge with Beth... and who the hell knows what happened between those 4. Edge and Punk were actually together! No one takes it seriously, but the Punk/Edge love affair broke a lot of hearts. That "You want to be just like me" promo was much deeper than we all realized.

Not sure if possible but this interview has made me a bigger Brodus fan Ah, I'm so psyched you read it! (I was the person who did it.) Brodus was much more open than I honestly expected. Super decent guy. Aww Lucky!!! I Put a Hex on You

Sheamus and Ted Jr traveled together for a little bit when Sheamus moved to Smackdown.
Dean Ambrose has a lot of friends in the business because, despite what his gimmick is, he doesn't take himself seriously and isn't upset at himself or others for botches because he knows that they're human and mistakes will happen (even said in an interview before signing with WWE that he loves Botchamania). I don't know what happened exactly with him and Foley, but he's the only person who Ambrose has ever had a problem with.
There were rumors that Cody and Beth were dating a few years ago.
The Straight Edge Society (Gallows and Mercury) and Kofi were/are Punk's best friends in the company.
Melina and Mickie James hated each other for the longest time, but patched things up.
JBL and Hardcore Holly had a mini feud with Lance Storm when he was the trainer at OVW, but it was squashed pretty quick.
Finlay didn't like Matt Hardy.... actually Brock didn't like Matt either.
Hurricane got into a fight with Buff Bagwell after the WWE brought them in. His fight got him respect from the WWE guys (who all hated Buff, some from their time in WCW) and the APA and Taker brought Hurricane's stuff from the WCW locker room over to the WWE.
Booker T was close to pretty much all the WCW guys and had heat with Batista.
Punk had a lot of heat with various people in part due to Heyman's hype.

Taker and Brock clearly have some beef, based on their ufc confrontation and Brock's interview following I think it's because of Brock leaving, and that he was supposed to feud with Taker after Wrestlemania 20 and lose. Brock apparently didn't want to lose to Taker, despite what the 2002 feud did for Brock. Finlay didn't like Matt Hardy.... actually Brock didn't like Matt either. Something tells me Finlay and Brock aren't alone.

I seem to remember reading that MVP, Umaga, and Orton didn't and still don't like Hunter. One thing that always surprised me especially now that I am older. I remember hearing Heenan say that him and Hogan are good friends.
That always surprised me given how it seems like EVERYONE hates Hogan.
I read that Jeff Hardy and Punk were good friends at one point too.

To expand on something kingoftheindies mentioned, yeah, Cody and Beth dated for a time. The break-up was bad and by all accounts something happened, because Beth did not like Cody after that. Even going as far as to reference it in her AoW interview years later about how she had to learn to not trust her whole self to people always and toughen up.

Kane seems to be suspiciously absent from this thread, id imagine if not a lot of friends, that he certainly has a lot of respect from his peers x

Brock apparently didn't want to lose to Taker, despite what the 2002 feud did for Brock. Finlay didn't like Matt Hardy.... actually Brock didn't like Matt either. Something tells me Finlay and Brock aren't alone. Probably not, Finlay got mad because Matt kept critiquing Lita's matches and telling her what she shouldn't be doing right in front of Fit (who was the Diva's agent and also their trainer) and Fit complimented A-Train on one of his matches he had after his gimmick change. A-Train got a push so Matt buried Finlay saying that he was the reason Matt wasn't getting pushed as a main eventer. With Brock, when he first debuted, he accidently knocked the wind out of Jeff during a beat down. Brock apologized to Jeff and Jeff said no big deal. Matt thought Jeff was to scared to stand up to himself (when in reality Jeff really didn't care) so he decided to do something about it. He was going up against Brock, and was supposed to hit him in the stomach with a chair then hit him in the back. Matt decided instead to give Brock a stiff chairshot to the head. Brock wasn't expecting it and took it unprotected. With Hogan, he has his supporters but when people see how insecure he is/was about his spot it really turns people off. It's a lot of the same reason there are a lot of people who hate Flair. Jeff and Punk WERE close, until Punk brought up Jeff's drug trafficking charges in a ppv promo after the WWE gave Jeff their assurance that they wouldn't mention it. After that there were interviews from Jeff where he pretty much called Punk a fraud.

I love some of the statements of fact in this thread.
'This fight happened, so the APA and Taker did this.' This definitely happened, and definitely wasn't based on hearsay or backstage reports which could be total bullshit.

Jeff and Punk WERE close, until Punk brought up Jeff's drug trafficking charges in a ppv promo after the WWE gave Jeff their assurance that they wouldn't mention it. After that there were interviews from Jeff where he pretty much called Punk a fraud. To add to the bolded--since I used to be a big fan of the Hardys I watched so many of these interviews--Yes. Then to top things off, Finlay offered to help Matt out with his in-ring work during his off hours as a vet to a much younger guy, Matt told him sure and then blew him off and didn't show up. Finlay apparently waited around for hours for Matt to show, and when he didn't complained to John Laurinitis about it. Laurinitis got angry and made Matt come in and apologize to Finlay in front of everyone for being disrespectful. Matt considered this the start of his problems with Laurinitis who I guess lost respect for Matt and started to see him as a troublemaker backstage, which is part of the reason Matt attributed to him getting fired over Edge in 05. Laurinitis just thought of Matt as a guy that caused trouble backstage instead of "one of the boys" like Edge, who while he committed the wrong he also saw as the better long term investment/least likely to cause issues. For the Jeff thing, I will say that lately both CM Punk and Jeff have given interviews publicly praising the other and saying they have no heat. So, either they decided to put things aside for business or time heals all wounds. Jeff did say that he's not the type to hold grudges, even where Edge was concerned. I remember back in 05 after that whole affair incident Jeff came out shortly afterwards and said that while he was originally upset he wanted to apologize to Edge for the way he reacted and mend fences between them/thought he was a good guy. Jeff's just kind of a laid back guy, nothing seems to phase him. And Punk was good friends with both Hardys until someone started to stick his nose into his private life. I remember when Punk and Lita first started dating Matt was making all of those cryptic blogs about "two of his close friends making bad choices in their personal lives" back before anyone knew they were together. Then suddenly a backstage source "close to the situation" starts leaking they are dating...and Matt starts fighting with an "unknown talent" backstage. Can't say for sure of course, but I can't say I wasn't suspicious of the timing of the Matt Hardy Expose Express

I've always gotten the feeling that Jeff's "heat" with Punk was partially Jeff just being in a bad place after his drug bust and partially the fact that Matt didn't like him. Punk and Jeff have recently said really nice things about each other so whatever heat there was seems to be squashed.
I've honestly never heard about any heat between Edge and Punk, so I think that might be a case of people knowing who they are dating and then just assuming things, but who knows?

I've never heard of them having heat either, and Punk only had nice things to say about him on Edge's career DVD. I was speculating as to the source, but if they did it's absolute news to me. First I've read of it was in here.
