Were you ever scared of any wrestlers growing up
Lol I remember being terrified of Kamala.
I also never used to get dressed in front of the t.v because I thought the people on t.v could see me naked. |

A little scared that Razor Ramon could stare me to death while he cut those backstage promos, and he'd stare at the screen and they do that slow pan into his face.
Skinner had me convinced he was legit too. |

Not scared of one per say, but I was always afraid to go to a show as a kid because I thought if I booed one of them, they'd beat me or my dad up haha

The Undertaker. And no one comes close. The character, and the performance is just so fantastical, that it transcends the 'suspension of reality' and just engrosses you. You start believing it.
The funeral march, the graveyard promos, the mind games, rising up from the dead? And even when i'd smartened up to the theatricality of it all, the entire production during the Ministry days frightened me. That goatee, the eyes rolling back, the sacrifices, the latin mumbo-jumbo? And of course, this promo: |

I remember listening to Isaac Yankem's debut thru a scrambled ppv feed and the announcers put him over frighteningly.
Then I saw him on RAW or Prime Time the next night and was all 'so not rad'. I liked Villains better, so just like I was #TeamSkeletor I was very #TeamPapaShango and #TeamUndertaker and #TeamJakeTheSnake growing up. |

Taz when he was in ecw.
He was such a hard mother fucker in his interviews and stuff, that I always thought that if I ever had the chance to meet him, I'd be too intimidated. Then he came to Wwe and he was a sweetheart. |

The Undertaker during his bodybag phase. Used to thought he actually killed wrestlers as a kid since those guys would never show up again.

Kamala as well. But not like 90's Kamala. Only 80's Kamala when his face paint was all fucked up.

80's Kamala was scary, especially to a 5 year old like myself. Started watching around 87 and I remember thinking Kamala was going to eat the other wrestlers.

No joke, I stopped watching rasslin for a few years because I got scared by Papa Shango. Was traumatized when he made Ultimate Warrior vomit.

Kamala and Papa Shango scared me as well...
the one who scared me the MOST growing up was Jake Roberts. Not by his looks, but by the way he talked and acted, plus using the snake as the exclamation point. You may consider him creepy instead of scary, but segments like this scared me. |

Phil Collins when he dressed like a human condom and got beat up by Ultimate Warrior in Bobcat Goldthwait's mind. I was scared because Collins looked like he would fondle Warrior, which thankfully did not happen on camera.

Jake the Snake locking Warrior in that room of snakes was the moment i finally admitted to myself that wrestling was probably fake. Sad day.

My uncle (who got me into wrestling) used to watch a whole lot of Abdullah the Butcher matches on tape and I remember I used to have to go into the other room when he was watching them.

I remember specifically him having like 4 or 5 different tapes that he watched on a regular basis and I think all of them had at least one Abdullah match on them. Abdullah the Butcher vs Bruiser Brody matches were always the worst/most scary. Had a nightmare once about one of the matches on the tape and I still remember it.

I was scared that the 1-2-3 Kid was gonna grow up and have major problems with drink & drugs (and self-filmed pornos).
Wait. I think I got the wrong end of the stick. |
