I think New Jack is the scariest, you never know what he is going to do in the ring

The only 2 wrestlers who ever scared the crap out of me were Abdullah and Kamala. Especially Kamala, when he would walk to the ring wearing that menacing mask and carrying that spear, while that eerie music would play.

Freakin' Waylon Mercy scared the HELL out of me when I was a kid. There was just something so creepy about his promos, because he was never explicitly threatening, but there was this menace... like, he would say things like "Waylon Mercy is going to show you what a picnic is all about," and aaagh what the hell is he trying to say?!
Also, there were a lot of creepy touches with him. During other people's matches, he would just walk out and stand in the aisle and watch. And his theme music started with "Your lives are going to be in Waylon Mercy's hands." and my GOD this guy has PLANS OF WORLD DOMINATION what the HELL

I agree with old school "Stonecold" Steve Austin - the guy was pretty much a wrestling adaptation of Mickey Knox from Natural Born Killers.
Other wrestlers that are legitimately scary:
Vader (even though in real life, Leon White has a very caring heart).
Mankind (see comments re: Vader, and substitute Foley's name for White's)
New Jack
Bam Bam Bigelow (watch some of his WWF matches from 1994, and you'll see what I'm talking about)
But even among these names, my #1 pick goes to... Necro Butcher.
Can you imagine if this guy had his mind set on hurting you? The only way you could possibly stop him would be to totally dismember him, and even that might not be enough!

New Jack is a legit psychopath. That guy is scarier than a tonberry.
Tho honestly, when I was a kid, Luna Vachon scared the holy hell out of me. She had that tattoo on the side of her face, and she had that crackly voice, and gave those crazy promos. From what I've heard, in real life she is a pretty nice lady.

Remember how Austin struggled to resist Bret Hart's sharpshooter at wrestlemania, his face totally covered in blood, clearly putting every last ounce of energy into the fight? That's what virtually EVERY single Necro Butcher match I've ever seen is like, and I seriously wish the guy would relax, and save that kind of stuff for only one or two matches a year. Even his non-deathmatch bouts strike me with the same effect (see: Samoa Joe vs Necro Butcher). Check of the second of his 2 promos, and watch what he is willing to do without even being in the ring with his opponent: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvJDZPoLEi4Sabu was sort of the same way when he started out; he would moonsault his body onto tables for the sake of building momentum. But while both Sabu and Necro are fearless and totally reckless, Necro's stature makes him a whole lot more scary.

Guys? Sid! C'mon! That crazy look in his eye always! Screaming at the top of his lungs whenever his mouth opens, spitting! He's a nut and killed people in the ring.

There are more, I'm sure, but leaping to mind are two names. The first, while it may not be an "a-ha!" choice at first glance, is Tiger Jeet Singh. I knew he had been around wrestling seemingly forever (at least since the very early 1970s that I was aware of) I hadn't really seen real in-ring action from him until the 1990s. I had seen interviews and appearances, and worse, I had heard of the horror stories involving this guy's lack of concern for an opponent's body and injuring him. Upon seeing his work in Japan, I saw everything I had been told about this guy come to fruition. His maniacal huffs, puffs, and grunts while fighting as soon as the bell rang along with the fact that he never had to sell ANYTHING in the ring because he was CONSTANTLY on the offense and unrelenting! Of course, add the fact that he's got a SABRE IN THE RING and SLASHING people with it mercilessly and "stabbing them" and that makes him a sick mug in my view. (Also adding to his "scary" factor is that I've never seen him in a Japanese wrestling match where his opponent did not sell like beat puppy.)
Along those same lines is Tetsuo Sekigawa or Mr. Pogo. The reason is a lot of the same, mostly centered on the fact that the guy's sole purpose in a match is to really, really, really, really hurt his opponent while getting a minimal amount of punishment doled out to him until the grand finale. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . really.
