Who is the most controversial from a real life perspective then? I'd say they had cleared the roster of most of the guys who are likely to be up to behind the scenes shennanigans. Orton has towed the line nicely since he got married a few years back. Well, I mean as an all-time thing, and the only people on that front I can see coming close to Chris Benoit are the people involved with the Montreal screwjob. Muhammad Hassan, HE almost got the whole WWE in trouble. But people loved his gimmick and were steamed when he was forced off TV.

A lot of these choices aren't even close because the topic is KAYFABE wise, not real life. The original incarnation of Goldust has to be up there. During the PG, cartoon WWF of the mid 90's, this ambiguously gay character shows up out of nowhere, making advances at Razor Ramon, etc. Goldust was attitude before attitude was cool. Goldust is probably the correct answer to the original question.

How is this not Goldust? Yes, the original incarnation of Goldust was crossing the line, but The Artist Formally Known As Goldust made people's head explode.

I have to go with Jeff Hardy -- his real-life drug/legal troubles and his dog dying when his meth lab blew up were woven into storyline. Now he's the "Anti-Christ of Wrestling," whatever the heck that means.

It's gotta be HHH.
- Drugged the bosses daughter and married into the McMahon family, eventually turning Vince's daughter against him and using his position to go on a power trip. - Brutalized numerous people with a sledgehammer, including his best friend who had major back problems at Summerslam 2002. - Beat up defenseless people such as Jim Ross and Lita - Simulated necrophillia on live television
