Anyone got any good behind the scenes stories on pro wrestlers? Altercations, funny stories, anything like that?
I love those. I have a couple to start with.
Apparently when Rick Rude and The Ultimate Warrior were working their program in the WWF, Warrior was being pretty stiff in the ring with Rude on more than one occasion.
Finally, Rude approached Warrior after a match and asked him to lighten up some. Supposedly Warrior got all flustered and got in Rudes face yelling that he didn't have to lighten up, he was the Warrior.
Rude dropped him with one punch and walked away.
Then, there was Haku/Meng...
Bobby Heenan on a bar fight Meng had with some guy...
“He took his two fingers on his right hand, his index finger and his trigger finger, and he reached into the guy’s mouth and he broke off the guy’s bottom teeth. I wouldn’t believe it unless I saw it with my own eyes.”
Rick Steiner on Meng getting arrested...
“I was in LA one time with him and he fought eight cops, they shot him with mace and he closed his eyes and sucked it in. He just opened his mouth and took a deep breath. I mean, some of the stuff he did was like “What the hell”. Scotty and I always thought we were tough guys but that was before we met Meng.
Ted DiBiase on Meng getting arrested in St. Louis...
“Some of the guys got into a fight and Meng got involved. He was just trying to help and in the process of trying to help, he gets maced by 4 cops and handcuffed. Now they handcuffed himi behind his back and then he said “Is this it?” and he broke the handcuffs. He snapped them.”

There's a story of Haku biting someone's nose off, isn't there?

I don't know if he bit anyone's nose off, but he did remove Jesse Barr's eye in a fight.
Edit: You're right...
"In an interview with Alex Marvez, Fifita was asked about one of his legendary fights. Fifita stated his favorite was one that "cost him a lot of money." He was at the Baltimore Airport Hilton bar with Sivi Afi when five men started laughing at them and said, "You guys are the fake wrestlers on TV." In response Fifita replied, "I’ll just show you how fake it is," and reached over and grabbed one man while three others jumped on him. As they repeatedly punched him he knocked Three of them out and then applied the Tongan death grip one of them and then Fifita bit the nose of the man he initially grabbed and spat it out. They saw him spit out their friend's nose, and before he could fight them, they quickly evaded. Months later, he saw on the news that he was being sued $2.5 million for the incident."
