20 Scariest Wrestling Moments Ever

19. Kane Sets Jim Ross On Fire

Just weeks after Kane lost his mask to Triple H, the destructive demon sat down with Jim Ross for a hard-hitting interview. During the course of the questioning, J.R. broached the topic that Kane - who was long thought to have been hideously disfigured in a fire - looked like a normal (well, tremendous and scary, but unburned) man.

Kane told J.R. that he sounded "just like the doctors," proving that The Big Red Machine's scars were more psychological than anything else. J.R.'s line of questioning clearly irritated Kane, who further proved his psychological problems by attacking Ross, laying him out on the floor of the interview room. He then set J.R. (or a dummy dressed in black) on fire while the voice of Raw could be heard shrieking in pain.

Despite how clearly staged the incident was, it was deeply disturbing to watch.
