10 Dumbest Wrestling Controversies That Went Too Far

1. Wrestlers Court, Various

Imagine you said something petty to a co-worker, or forgot, even accidentally-on-purpose, to take your dirty dishes out of the sink.

What's the worst that could happen?

It's c*nty behaviour, but you're in a professional workplace. Someone might tut in your direction, you're bound to get sh*t on in an email thread, but that's about it. A 6' 10" colossus isn't going to reduce you to tears and make you sh*t-scared for your future earnings.

The Undertaker and JBL took the dumbest backstage controversies entirely too far in their roles as the "judge" and "prosection" of "wrestlers court". If a troublesome diva spent too long sniping at or sizing up her colleagues, 'Taker didn't take too kindly to that, you hear?

And so he stares a hole though 'em, real scary like, until they burst into tears and their dignity rests. In. Peace...

...after which 'Taker and Bradshaw size up the dancers at the strip joint, despite being married, because it's OK for them to do it. They've made the towns, they've taken the bumps.

They're real men, goddamn it.
