(REMINDER: this is for kayfabe, in character stuff, not anything they said in shoot interviews or the like)
What's the worst thing a wrestler has said in a promo? Hard to beat "Eddie's in Hell".

Nikki Bella: "I wish you had died in the womb" to her twin sister.
I don't remember the exact quote, but I remember Vince McMahon saying that he wanted the Undertaker's wife and/or kids beaten and raped by a biker gang.

I believe it was "Woof, woof" while Trish was on all fours after being ordered by Vince to get down and bark like a dog.

On an AWA show from the 80s I saw Wahoo McDaniel said if Manny Fernandez attacked him again, he'd bring a gun to the ring and shoot to kill.

Dusty Rhodes saying if we didn't watch the Clash of the Champions, he'd come down the chimneys of ours houses for Christmas and beat up our kids.
Anything in an exploiting/referencing the dead angle. Eddie example in the OP, of course. Kurt Angle telling Jeff Jarrett he was divorced, but he wasn't the only one to have lost a wife. Forget who exactly knocking Reid Flair in a promo against Charlotte. Punk and Heyman regarding Paul Bearer. Justin Credible saying Tommy Dreamer should have died instead of his grandfather.
Serious illnesses too. Dean turning heel and cutting the promo about Roman, a week after his announcement. Punk and Heyman mocking Lawler's heart attack.
I'm sure there's lots of race and sexual baiting that doesn't hold up today. Mainly from ECW and the Attitude Era, heck, some of Ruthless Aggression and PG too....

I know Lawler said some pretty shitty stuff about Goldust back in the 90s, and David Schultz's promo about wanting a woman is gross (though terrible enough to be hilarious in an Ed Wood kind of way), but I'm sure this is kids stuff. Someone who knows old territory stuff must know better than me: What's the worst thing a face has ever said about a heel's sexuality to the rapturous applause of a crowd?

Kurt Angle's "bestiality sex".
Undertaker threatening to more or less murder everyone, and sometimes following through with it.
Are we counting heels possibly lying about terrible things? Raven cut a promo saying his dad molested him. Terry Funk claimed he was lying about that though, so who knows.
Terry Funk threatening to castrate, torture, and murder Cactus Jack. Not necessarily in that order.
If continuity counts, Shawn Michaels denying the allegations of sexually harrassing the married Diana Hart Smith, then hitting on her like a year later.

Paige and her comments about Reid Flair. Really anything post 90's where real life serious stuff is involved.

Triple H telling Booker that "people like him" don't deserve to be champion and that all he's good for is carrying his bags.

Someone who knows old territory stuff must know better than me: What's the worst thing a face has ever said about a heel's sexuality to the rapturous applause of a crowd? Would still be Lawler. He got entire Coliseum crowds to chant the "other" f-word at Jimmy Valiant, who wasn't even doing a "gay" gimmick. |

Harley Race calling Ron Simmons a racial slur (thankfully bleeped) at a Clash of the Champions in 1992 may be the winner.

taken objectively, everything Bossman said about Big Show and his father during their feud. But it was the truth! Show is a nasty bastard and his momma said so. I pick Austin Aries telling the crowd that he wished they would’ve died during 9/11, this was shortly before winning the ROH belt for the second time. |
