    What wrestlers really scared you for whatever reason?

    For me, it was Arn Anderson because he was a normal guy.

    When I went to a house show in the early 1990s I was pretty scared when The Undertaker came out, despite the fact that he was my favourite guy along with Bret when I watched T.V.

    WWF kane with his mask on. and that voice box thing he used to talk with. and his theme song....

    the undertaker and his theme song, along with that eye roll sent the ****s up me. I used to have nightmares about being in the ring, the lights go out, the gong, the fog descends, and im stuck there paralysed as he walks to the ring. I tried to run but id always fall over, and im sure I got chokeslammed a few times.

    Early 90s Undertaker and Papa Shango gave me the heebie jeebies as a child.



    Pentagon Jr from Lucha Underground would have probably given me nightmares if he was around back then:

    Jake was a great heel though, seems legit.

    For me, it has to be the shockmaster though.

    Paul Bearer used to scare the life out of my younger brother. We shared a room and when we went to bed our dad would knock the lights off and I'd go 'Oooooohhh Yeeeeeessss' and my little bro would be sh*tting it.

    Not gonna lie, when I started getting back in to wrestling last year, Hell in a Cell was the first thing I watched. I had never heard of Bray Wyatt. So when he made his grand appearance at the end of the night, I had absolutely no idea who he was, or what was going on. I genuinely got caught up in the moment, and was actually scared of him in that moment.
