10 Wrestlers Other Wrestlers Were Scared Of

Chris Jericho might be the reigning AEW Champion, a merchandise-selling machine (who else sells bottles of champagne in 2019?) and one of the most chameleonic performers ever, but he's not an idiot. Even the mighty Jericho was smart enough to know that staying on Ken Shamrock's good side made sense.

In one of his books, Jericho recalled working with Shamrock in the WWF. The spot called for him to slap Kenny around then run from the ex-UFC hard man back up the ramp. The only problem was that Shamrock didn't take kindly to Jericho's 'bullsh*t chops' and got heated for real.

Jericho would be forgiven for doing a "Bad Mama Jama" in his pants.

Shamrock chased him up the aisle and reportedly wouldn't stop even when both tumbled through the curtain backstage. Jericho found out first hand what should've been obvious: Ken Shamrock's shoot fight background made him a wrestling powder keg.
