WCW was a promotion with a lot of big, strong men with a raging temper, that inadvertently caused a lot of chaos and real fights backstage. One fight that took place in the last few years of WCW's existence was between Diamond Dallas Page and Scott Steiner.

Steiner and DDP didn't see eye-to-eye due to the former's real-life feud with DDP's then-wife, Kimberley. During a WCW show, Steiner went off script and insulted DDP in a promo on television. This incensed DDP, who was waiting for Steiner behind the curtains, and after a brief argument between the two, DDP punched Steiner.

Steiner reportedly suplexed DDP and then brought him down with a takedown, perhaps using his amateur wrestling experience to good effect, and then tried to poke DDP's eyes. Page then reportedly bit Steiner's hand to get him off DDP, and the two were bloodied and bruised.

We didn't get to see the two face off in the ring after that as they were never in the same promotion. (H/T Bleacher Report)
