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

4. Tell 'Em, Hawk

A genuinely hilarious one this, if only because it captured how terrified even the scariest wrestlers were of breaking kayfabe back when it still ruled over the auspices of the industry. Brilliantly, the bruising megastar wasn't even on the card, despite being half-gimmicked up in his famous paint to make the scene even funnier.

Forming part of of the all-important barker show for February 1998's No Way Out pay-per-view, Vader was midway through issuing his pre-match threats to Kane by the men's lockerroom as interviewer Sunny fearfully looked on. Ironically, being sh*t-scared of Vader was sort of the point, despite Vince missing so much over the years that the 'Mastadon' was substantially less of a monster by then.

It didn't deter Hawk from delivering a beautiful bug-eyed double-take when he realised he'd stumbled right into shot. Clearly mishearing Vader hitting the catchphrase (for the 'Golden Haired Fox' to rather infuriatingly pie with a comedic response) as a cue for him to hit the toilets, the Legion Of Doom star casually strolled out before hastily backtracking to whence he came and future file-sharing infamy.
