5 least-scary 'scary' wrestlers

Wrestling and fear go hand-in-hand. After all, the whole premise of the show is based around men and women using their strength and dominance to hurt their opponents in the pursuit of championship gold.

From undead monsters such as The Undertaker to deranged psychotics such as Mankind, there have been plenty of scary wrestlers in wrestling.

Most recently, we have seen teams of monsters, such as the evil, corrupting Wyatt Family, and the superstars of SmackDown Live having to deal with the twisted SANITY.

Even baby faces Finn Balor is no stranger to the dark side, channelling his inner Demon King when it is needed.

But some stars, try as they might, just failed to terrify the fans. And with this being the month of Halloween, here are the 5 least scary, 'scary' wrestlers.

#5 Seven

It's hard to tell if this can even count. For months, promos featured on WCW TV, featuring Seven, a creepy white-faced demon, beckoning to a young child.

Played by Dustin Rhodes, the character was a far cry from the equally bizarre Goldust, who the son of the American Dream played in the WWF.

However, in his first appearance in person, Rhodes completely dropped the gimmick cut a shoot promo in his own voice, saying the character was truly bad.

Instead, Rhodes opted to just be himself in WCW but would return to the WWF as Goldust in 2002.

It only made one appearance at a live event, but Seven has lived in infamy for how quickly it was dropped.

#4 The Zombie

When ECW returned in 2006, fans were stoked. The old company had ended in 2001, with former owner Paul Heyman having to file for bankruptcy.

So when the show returned 5 years later as a part of WWE, it's hard to think that old-school fans wanted to see the Zombie.

Appearing on the show's premiere on SyFy, The Zombie shuddered to the ring, groaned and was beat up by the Sandman, all the time being mocked by Joey Styles and Tazz on commentary.

#3 Rellik

In WWE, Johnny 'The Bull' Stamboli was known as a team player, working alongside Nunzio and Vito as a member of the Full Blooded Italians.

After being released by the company, Stamboli, now going by Rellik debuted in TNA in 2007, teaming with Black Reign (another bad character for Goldust) and admittedly had an impressive look and imposing music.

This, however, is where Rellik's success ends, as his in-ring work left a lot to be desired, and the superstar was quickly forgotten about, and when he was used, lost almost all the time.

Rellik was gone less than a year later, and yes, his name is killer spelled backward.

#2 Heidenreich

Unlike the other stars on this list, Heidenreich did not claim to be from the depths of hell or have supernatural powers. He was instead a deranged man who found pleasure in attacking people and reciting poetry, which he called his disasterpieces.

Unfortunately, Heidenreich is primarily remembered for an incident with Michael Cole, which has become a joke online. Whilst the visual of coming out in a straightjacket was a cool look, Heidenreich failed to impress, with Bob Holly also citing attitude problems, claiming the former Tag Champion had no reason to be in WWE:

The reason he lost his job was because of him, the biggest downfall was he was supposed to be at TV at 1pm and he shows up at 7pm. They had big plans for him and Animal. He shows up at 7pm and then threatens to beat up Johnny (Ace) then threatens to beat up Vince so they got rid of him.

#1 Mordecai

The anti-Undertaker, Mordecai debuted in WWE in 2004, destroying opponents on SmackDown.

Quoting bible-verse and dressed all in white, the Superstar was clearly meant to feud with The Undertaker, who had returned at WrestleMania 20 in March that year.

The pale rider, as he was called by Tazz on Cole, started strong, destroying Scotty 2 Hotty at the appropriately titled Judgment Day pay per view.

Whilst Mordecai promised to make fans pay for their sins, the gimmick was quickly sidelined, after a match with Hardcore Holly at the Great American Bash. The feud with the Deadman never took place and the wrestler Kevin Fertig was later repackaged as the Vampire Kevin Thorne for ECW's return in 2006.
