10 MORE Wrestlers In Situations That Scared The Sh*t Out Of Them

9. Deadman?

"I thought you were dead".

Beyond cucumbers (more on that later), not much ever seemed to phase a man that spent most of his career closer to the dark than Johnny Gargano's worst ever promo - all until a match that scared the combatants as much as it did fans and families all over the world.

'The Deadman' and Mick Foley himself have both confirmed the quote at the start of this entry as spoken by the normally-unflappable locker room leader, uttered in response to the moment Mick took an earlier-than-expected fall through the structure to WWE's original unforgiving ring.

The sick, sick splat hasn't aged a day, not least because it gets a touch less attention that the initial tumble through the Spanish Announce Table. Undertaker was right to be panicked about the worst case scenario - he was about to get away with murder for the second time in one night.
