10 Darkest YouTube Wrestling Videos

7. Jim Cornette's Dairy Queen Rage Fit

To speak briefly on a personal level, I'm a big fan of Jim Cornette.

A fantastically detestable manager in his heyday, he's often derided for what is perceived to be a bitter and out of touch perspective on pro wrestling. As a vanguard of the old school, he believes that the product should be presented in a proper sporting context, without which suspension of disbelief - the concept the business is predicated on - is impossible. While he can take this to extremes, he's really not wrong.

But this infamous video is unseemly. Evidently ravaged with hunger, an already angry Cornette (that's essentially his resting state) grows incensed enough to get out of his car and berate the poor woman inside, calling her a "f*ckin' ugly bitch" and a "c**t". The woman knew she was dealing with a car full of wrestlers, and while it would be charitable to describe Cornette as intimidating, she must've been terrified given who else was in proximity.

Life on the road must be incredibly tough. There is a reason why sleep deprivation is an effective method of torture. And while many find this video hilarious, there must be considerable darkness within him to overreact to such an ugly extent.
