Science Friction Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 What wrestlers did you find genuinely fearsome or scary? You know, someone that really would strike fear into a youngster or even creep out an older person? Some I remember watching: Ox Baker (And his Heart Punch) Joe Leduc (The Canadian Lumberjack) - Dude one cut himself on purpose with an axe on TV. Maniac Mark Lewin(The Purple Haze)- would froth at the mouth. Had studio audience screaming when he ran around the ring. George "The Animal" Steele ( and his green tongue) - He was really scary before he became somewhat of a sympathetic, loveable character. The Mongolian Stomper- one scary dude. He was actually from Canada, not Mongolia. Apparently a pretty nice person outside of wrestling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid there was a wrestling event at the local armory...I was a big Joe LeDuc fan and he had a huge rivalry with the Mongolian Stomper at the time. I was outside waiting to see the wrestlers leave and saw Joe and the Stomper get into a Cadillac together and leave...a little bit of my childhood died that night.

I also remember Leduc and Stomper from the local armory days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pile Driver Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Nobody can top New Jack. In kayfabe fashion, he purposefully "bladed" a young under age kid who attempted to pass as a wrestler and stabbed another during a match. Was actually arrested for it! Dude was flat out crazy! Google some of his matches. I am seriously surprised he was able to get any matches. Who would want to get in the ring with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
