10 Of The Most EVIL Wrestlers

in professional wrestling there's always two kinds of characters there's the fan favorite good guy or babyface who the crowd always rally behind and the villainous heel who the crowd are meant to boo and root against when they wrestle the baby face now of course these wrestlers are only playing characters there's plenty of heels who are actually known for being nice and friendly outside of the ring and some baby faces who have a reputation for being [ __ ] to the fans and their fellow wrestlers with hulk hogan being a good example of this as he betrayed a good guy for much of his career on screen but was known for being a ruthless backstage politician who'd always use his standing in the wrestling industry to hold back the careers of others while furthering his own and frequently refused to put others over by losing to them some wrestlers however whether they portray heels or baby faces have had run-ins with the law with some even having extensive criminal backgrounds there is a small group however that are truly deplorable and irredeemable individuals who have committed some truly horrible acts ranging from open bigotry predatory behavior and even murder and in this video i'll be covering 10 of them here are 10 of the most evil wrestlers hoyt richard murdoch was an american professional wrestler born in 1946 he was a second generation superstar being the stepson of frankie hill murdoch and also grew up with future wrestling legends terry and dory funk after starting his wrestling career in 1965 and wrestling an attack team with don carson he eventually found himself tagging with a man who had become one of the most iconic and influential people in wrestling history the american dream dusty rose an attack team called the texas outlaws however this team did not last long and after the split murdoch would wrestle throughout various territories in the united states and eventually went to wrestle in japan where he would have high profile matches with all japan pro wrestling founder giant baba and even got to wrestle another one of the old-time greats harley race for the nwa world championship in 1980 he returned to the us and wrestled in the mid-south wrestling promotion where he teamed with the junkyard dog by this time he had adopted a gimmick similar to that of his real-life persona a beer-drinking working man which earned him the nickname captain redneck because and these are not my words he quote really embodied every attribute of the stereotypical white trash redneck considering details that would come out about him years later it's surprising to see murdoch willingly teaming with an african-american wrestler and he and junkyard dog even became tag team champions in 1981 murdoch returned to japan for what would be his most successful run where he would wrestle against legends like tatsumi fujinami and even scored a victory over antonio inoki probably the most iconic and influential wrestler in japan's history while teaming with stan hansen another texas wrestler and future hall of famer he even had encounters with a young hulk hogan despite his success murdoch actually harboured a dark secret that the fans were unaware of among his fellow wrestlers he was known to be a racist bigot who displayed hatred towards minorities particularly african-american wrestlers rocky johnson father of dwayne the rock johnson once told a story that murdoch intentionally and repeatedly kicked him for real during a match because of his skin color johnson warned murdoch that if he continued he would go into business for himself and knock murdoch out cold murdock ignored the warning and continued hitting him johnson then proceeded to knock murdoch out cold and left him a bloody mess as the match was thrown out there's also a story of murdoch taking dusty rhodes for a drive and not telling him where they were going when they finally arrived to their destination rhodes was shocked to find that murdock had taken him to a ku klux klan meeting rhodes however politely asked that murdoch take him home indeed several wrestlers have stated that dick murdock was a card-carrying kkk member in 2018 tony atlas recounted a story in which he and fellow wrestler tommy rich were told about an event happening in a local park saying it was a party that atlas and rich should go to because quote they'd be the life of the party when they arrived tommy rich immediately told atlas to get down and hide when atlas got down he saw that only a few feet away was a kkk member patrolling the area armed with a shotgun murdoch had sent atlas and richard to a clan rally as a joke knowing full well the two of them could have been seriously injured or even killed when the two of them told him what had happened he just laughed reveling in the fact that he'd made them fear for their lives so i'll go back dressing up to dig it why are you trying to do this he said what we didn't think you want to really go and it was just a real so was dick murdock actually in the kkk or was that just no no he was after he told me he was he told me upset he came straight for his mouth rocky johnson told us that he was as well so yeah well dick didn't he didn't hide it he wasn't ashamed of it murdoch died of a heart attack in 1996 at the age of 49 and since his death he's never been acknowledged by the wwe despite the company owning all of the footage of his matches in the us they tend to avoid bringing up wrestlers with controversy surrounding them and naturally don't want to bring attention to a man who openly flaunted his association with the world's most infamous hate group there will certainly be people on this list who are worse than dick murdock but there's no denying that as an open racist he was definitely an awful person ludwig borger had what may be one of the most bizarre lives of any wrestler in history he was born tony christian hallmate in helsinki finland in 1963. he came from a broken home with his father walking out on his family when he was only six months old with his mother being a hopeless alcoholic it fell on borger's older brother to raise him as their mother was too busy drinking and having flings with many different men borges said that his brother was the only true friend he ever had even as an adult he was a target of severe bullying in school and in his teens began bodybuilding to grow big enough to fight off his bullies in the 1980s he moved to the united states and got a job as a bodyguard for the rock band cheap trick and also gene simmons in 1993 after several years of resting in japan borgia came back to the united states and was signed to vince mcmahon's wwe the company knew borger's in-ring skills were limited but they believed his look compensated for this one thing about his look that would be a problem however was that he had an ss tattoo on his left calf the ss of course stood for shudstaffle an organization run by adolf hitler and the nazi party and with the group most responsible for the deaths of five to six million jewish people bulgar having a tattoo of such a terrible organization's logo showed what kind of person he was behind the scenes he was an open racist and homophobe something that would become far more apparent as the years went by once his wrestling career ended borga's 1998 biography god forgives i do not and its 2001 follow-up the day of judgment would announce his homophobia and racism to the world in one passage about his time in prison he details saying the following to a black prisoner hey monkey even if i'm the fattest person in the world i can always get skinny but the skin does not turn white even when washed this book lets him developing a following among the far right groups in finland which allowed him to write three more books and even launch a singing career his most famous song being fee kinky which translates viking in this song he proclaims his homophobia with this lyrics this momentum and propelled his career towards a new area politics his celebrity and unrepentant views would attract him to the far-right true finns party under this party's banner vorger was elected to finland's parliament in march of 2003 he captured 16 390 votes in the helsinki constituency a number the finnish media would describe as staggering the day after his victory he said in a radio interview if a lesbian can be elected president then why can't i be elected to parliament after immediate media backlash borger responded by saying that he truly thought that the finnish president was a lesbian despite being married to a man only four months into his term however borger drunk and high on amphetamines got into a lengthy argument with his wife that ended with him attempting to shoot her with an illegally owned military pistol he missed and police arrived on the scene to arrest him but the amphetamine in his system resulted in him needing to be immediately hospitalized while there he slipped into a coma that lasted several weeks he also apparently suffered brain damage while in the coma he would spend four months in prison yet still keep his political position his wife would file for divorce in 2005 and revealed in a telebiography that burger had threatened her with deadly weapons more than once and had even threatened her with an axe his life went on a continued downward spiral after this with him being arrested several times for getting into fights drunk driving and drug possession the brain damage he received during his karma also continued to affect him with him gradually losing his ability to walk and speak he was arrested for the final time in october 2009 where he was found to be driving under the influence of cocaine and amphetamines he would not make it to court however as three months later on january 8 2010 borger took his own life via gunshots at the age of 47. borga's life was certainly strange and could even be interesting to read about for some people but as an open neo-nazi homophobe and domestic abuser he was truly a man with no redeeming qualities and definitely belongs on a list like this [Music] tom billington was a british professional wrestler born in lancashire england in 1958 his family had a long history of taking part in combat sports with his father uncle and grandfather all being boxers and prior to that his family actually had a history of being executioners he began his career in 1976 and after spending two years wrestling in the uk he was scouted for stu hart's stampede wrestling promotion in calgary alberta canada while there he would wrestle stu hart's sons most notably a young bret that hit manhart who has since gone on to say that he considers billington to be quote pound for pound the greatest wrestler who ever lived it was in canada that billington would begin to take steroids after being introduced to them by fellow wrestler the junkyard dog and would also start taking speeds which she had been introduced to by jake the snake roberts after resting in canada for a year billington made the move to japan in 1982 dynamite kid had an instant classic with tiger mask for the wwf junior heavyweight championship at madison square garden in new york city some consider this match to be one of the greatest matches of all time billington left japan to join the wwf it was here that he would form a tag team with his cousin davey boy smith the two would call themselves the british bulldogs while the two enjoyed success billington became greatly disliked by his fellow wrestlers due to his erratic behavior many saw him as a bully due to the mean-spirited and sometimes aggressive pranks he would play on the other wrestlers the most infamous prank was on a young wrestler named mitch snow who billington believed talked too much as a prank millington drugged him with sleeping pills defecated in his back and shaved off his eyebrows he also once brutally assaulted fellow wrestler jacques rojo backstage rojo retaliated by attacking him with a roll of quarters knocking out four of billington's teeth and leaving his face swollen in 1988 the wwf having grown tired of billington's behavior fired him he then returned to wrestling in japan during this time a back injury he suffered in 1984 plus an arm injury sustained while on tour caused him to become even more aggressive but this time he turned his rage on his wife his wife michelle who is the sister of brett hart's ex-wife julie has gone into detail of how violent her husband could be it started with the verbal abuse and you know putting me down in front of other people certainly wasn't the guy you fell in love with no he was the gentleman that kicked out his wife and three week old baby the most infamous story of how he treated her involves him waking her up with a gun pointed at her head and telling her the next time it would be loaded another story also involved him pointing a gun at her face while dragging her by the hair billington's abuse of his wife pushed her to consider taking her own as well as those of her children so that they could all escape from him i just wanted to get out and the way i was going to get out was i lie i put my two children on on the bed the master bed um bronwyn and merrick and tom had a lot of guns so i went to get his gun and i wanted to brahman and merrick and then myself and the only reason i didn't do it is because i couldn't guarantee that we would all finally in 1991 michelle bought billington a plane ticket back to england making it clear that she wanted him out of her and their children's lives he responded by telling her to leave their home instead she refused which enraged him billington grabbed a gun threatening her to leave and even putting the gun to her head all the while their children watched in hysterics michelle called the police but ultimately she took the children and left he returned to the uk later that year over the next few years he continued his hard drug use which ultimately took their toll on his body he had his final match in 1996 by which time he had lost all the muscle he built up during his years of steroid abuse he had grown so thin that his tights no longer fit him and as you can see in this footage he just seemed tired and weak and only seemed capable of performing rest holds with his only actual move in the match being a tombstone pile driver the very next day after the match he suffered a seizure at the airport and had to be hospitalized this was how his career ended the next year billington who had a long history of injuries to his legs and back mostly brought about by his use of the flying headbutts as his finisher which caused irreparable damage to his spine lost the use of his left leg which confined him to a wheelchair for the rest of his life he would die on december 5th 2018 his 60th birthday his ex-wife michelle believed that his steroid use was the cause of his violent nature but even if that's the case that doesn't excuse his cruelty to her and their children he's considered to be one of the greatest wrestlers who have ever lived and while there's certainly no disputing his talent there's no denying that he was a cruel man who didn't even consider his actions to be overly violent i don't think he was violent i mean i put a shotgun under 18 months but i had no shells i only pretended that seeing how he turned out makes you think that karma really does exist [Music] harrison norris jr better known as hard buddy harrison or sometimes heart buddy harris had a much shorter career than almost everyone else on this list and saw no success whatsoever but he has gone down in history as one of the biggest scumbags in professional wrestling born in 1966 in kennesaw georgia he attended high school in pensacola florida upon graduating in 1985 he joined the united states army and served in the gulf war where he took part in operation desert shield and operation desert storm after receiving an honorable discharge in 1995 he traveled to atlanta georgia to begin training at wcw's training center known as the power plant within the same year he debuted for the promotion as an enhancement talent or a jobber meaning his role was to lose to more established stars to help them look good indeed in his four years with the company harrison never won a single match and the only thing people knew him for was his bizarre ring gear he wrestled his last match for the company in 1999 but he remained under contract until 2001 when wcw was purchased by vince mcmahon harrison's contract was not picked up by the wwe and he retired from wrestling soon after upon stepping away from the ring he was involved in a multi-plaintiff lawsuit filed by sonny ono on behalf of wcw talent against their former employer aol time warner charging the company with racial discrimination the suit was settled out of court for which all the performers including harrison received a large financial settlement following his wcw days harrison competed in the fx series tough man capturing the show's heavyweight championship in 2000 he wasn't seen again until 2005 when he was spotted at an event put on by vince russo's ring of glory promotion according to fellow wcw wrestler disco inferno harrison had eight women with him who were all very quiet and wouldn't speak to anybody and had a look on their face that gave off the impression that they were lost vince russo had a a religious show and um this is called glory like ring of glory he did a christian wrestling show one time after wcw and hard body showed up and he had like eight girls with them and they all were just like very quiet and they wouldn't speak to anybody it just looks very weird you know like it's kind of like they all kind of have the same look expression kind of like just like they were lost you know stuff little did anyone know at the time that these women were not harrison's friends they were his prisoners later that same year harrison was arrested after it was reported that he had been keeping eight women captive in his home he was charged with aggravated sexual abuse forced labor sex trafficking conspiracy and witness tampering harrison serving as his own attorney contended that the women lived in his home with his wife and child because they wanted to train as professional wrestlers and that he helped them quit drugs witnesses contested that harrison had manipulated the women psychologically forcing them the victims contested that harrison's rigid training regimen consisting of a wide variety of exercises and household chores and having to memorize a series of commandments was designed to make them into prostitutes his wrestling career ended up taking him nowhere but because of his actions outside of the ring he'll always be remembered but for all the wrong reasons as one of the most evil men in the history of professional wrestling aurelian smith was a professional wrestler from whitesboro texas born in 1932 originally an oil worker he took up wrestling in 1958 adopting the name grizzly smith no doubt inspired by his large six foot ten inch frame and hair covered torso he was yet another wrestler on this list who never really saw much success despite having a long career the highest profile match he had was against the legendary classy freddie blassie for the nwa georgia world heavyweight championship but he lost the match his wrestling career isn't worth talking about as nobody really remembers him for his in-ring work these days grizzly smith is more infamous for his life outside of wrestling to put it simply this man was a monster he fathered his first child in 1955 at the age of 23 at the time of the child's conception he was dating a single mother who had a 13 year old daughter named paula however the woman grizzly was dating was not the mother of his first child he had himself on paula leading to her becoming pregnant with his son aurelian smith jr my father was a pedophile disgusting pedophile which would haunt me the rest of my life he and paula were forced to marry and over the next several years they had two more children before grizzly left paula when she was 17 at which point she abandoned her children and the three of them were passed around to different homes after leaving paula grizzly remarried to a woman named marsha who was only 16 when the two married with his eldest son aurelian jr coming back to live with them after the death of his grandmother marsha would abuse junior and would beat him whenever he tried to tell his father grizzly was actually completely aware of what was happening as he was doing the same thing to his daughters it apparently all started with his daughter robin when she was eight years old this went on for six years before robin eventually told her mother at which point they left a year later robin warned her father that if he ever tried anything again she would shoot him with his own gun in 1978 grizzly's older daughter jolene was kidnapped and murdered with her husband's ex-wife being the prime suspect in the case while the ex-wife did confess to the kidnapping she said that she was not the one who murdered joel in as she had escaped years later grizzly's family said that they believed he may have been the real culprit behind jolin's death as he had quote the most to lose because jolin not only suffered at his hands but was also aware of him most likely abusing other young girls who he'd take out on the road with him he also stopped his son richard from taking the case to the tv show unsolved mysteries with the only reason he could possibly have for stopping them from covering the story being that he didn't want the mystery to be solved grizzly continued his deplorable behavior towards young girls into the 80s with robin saying that the last time it happened he had shown up at her home with a nine-year-old girl and spent the night there robin stayed awake the whole night talking to the girl the next morning she forced him to leave and wouldn't allow him to take the girl with him he got up the next morning got all his things together and said come on we gotta go and i said you're gonna go but she's not going anywhere she's staying right here i was not letting this girl go anywhere i think that told him everything he needed to know about how i felt three of grizzly's children would also become wrestlers robin would become known as rock and robin and would see some success in the wwe winning the promotions women's championship michael smith would become known as sam houston he seemed to be grizzly's favorite son as michael is said to have idolized him and most likely would have sided with his father if he had known about the abuse his siblings suffered at his hands his career was not successful due to his many run-ins with the law related to drink driving which eventually saw him sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2005. grizzly's eldest son aurelian jr was the first of his children to take up wrestling he chose to become a wrestler out of hatred for his father who would constantly tell him that he was a failure and never amount to anything junior wanted to overshadow his father not just despite him but also so he'd be proud of him he didn't want me in wrestling period in fact he got me fired a couple places asked the promoters to fire me father looked at me and said i'm ashamed of you your gutless and you'll never amount to anything that was my whole drive i got into wrestling because i hated my father and i was going to break it off in his ass i wanted to hear my father say i'm proud of you son aurelion jr of course would become known exclusively as jake the snake roberts one of the most famous wrestlers of the 1980s and a wwe hall of fame inductee grizzly smith would become all but forgotten it wasn't until the 1999 documentary beyond the mat where he would finally appear on screen again although his appearance follows a scene in which jake roberts details the story behind his conception and what kind of a man his father was my mother was 13 years old when i was born why because my dad little girl that was in a room asleep my dad was going out with my mother's mother there you go there's there's some bones for jake the snake when he's being interviewed grizzly actually had the nerve to say that he loved jake and that he was born out of love he's got a he's got a lot of good qualities and it's uh he was born out of love and i still love him but considering jake has said that grizzly never apologized for anything he put his children through he was obviously lying jake roberts has been using his ring name as his real name for nearly 40 years clearly not wanting to have his father's name attached to him grizzly smith died in 2010 from alzheimer's disease while i honestly don't think anyone deserves to suffer from alzheimer's or dementia i really do have a hard time feeling sorry for a man who spent so many years abusing his own children and many more years abusing other people's children and possibly murdered his own daughter as i said nobody ever talks about grizzly smith in regards to his career anymore these days the only time people talk about grizzly smith is to discuss what a truly sick and disgusting monster he was you used to be a wrestler didn't you i'm feared in every girls school in this country you live in the uk then this man should need no introduction for decades jimmy savile was one of the most recognizable faces on british tv he was famous for hosting shows like top of the pops and of course jim will fix it and also for his charity work to the point where he was even named the knight of the british empire he was also well known for being into fitness regularly photographed while out jogging and filmed at many marathons over the years what less people remember is that savile was also a part-time wrestler taking part in over 100 matches between the late 50s and early 70s when he began wrestling he was already a popular radio dj in the north of england particularly in his hometown of bolton and already had contacts with wrestlers he'd often hire them as bouncers to work the doors of the various nightclubs he owned it was actually former wrestler and fellow nightclub owner man mountain bill benny who got him into the business when he asked savile to referee a match for him to which the latter refused and said he wanted to actually wrestle a match rather than just be the referee savile was trained by bert jacobs an amateur wrestler who would later go on to culture the uk's olympic wrestling team and a brawler named les kellet after training for six weeks savile had his first match against british welterweight champion gentleman jyn lewis who proceeded to break savile's toe and beat him two falls to one and it was my proud claim that i lost my first 35 fights over the course of his career he would often be beaten for real by his opponents who weren't interested in putting him over and instead wanted to teach him a lesson for trying to use his celebrity status to make a name for himself in a business that he really had no place in despite the beatings he'd suffer promoters praised savile for apparently being gamed for anything in the ring despite the damage he'd take however savile finally called it quits on his wrestling career after a brutal beating at the hands of exotic adrian street who despite his flamboyance androgynous image was well known for being an incredibly tough no-nonsense worker the match was originally supposed to be a draw but street having no desire to work a match that would make savile look good went into business for himself and beat savile to a pulp leaving him battered and bruised with an injury from being dropped on his head after this savile never wrestled another match now savile's wrestling career is obviously not what he's remembered for these days nor why he's been so hated since his death i'll get into those details but first here's an anecdote from jimmy seville himself in which he revealed that he was quite sadistic back in the days where he was a club owner and apparently used to tie people to chairs and had them mercilessly beaten until they pleaded to be let go in the dentals i invented zero tolerance it wasn't for any nonsense whatsoever ever ever ever ever i was always in trouble with the law for being heavy-handed always uh but i didn't i couldn't care less about that rejecting people no i never threw anybody out tied him up and put them down in the bloody boiler out until i was ready for them at two o'clock in the [ __ ] morning they plead to get out you know if a copper came and said you was a bit heavy with them with that kid or those two guys whatever i'd say your daughter comes in here she's 16. she's not supposed to come into town but she doesn't she comes here i presume he'd like me to look after if you want me to look after her tell me and i'll let them dirty slugs do what they want to her all right jim all right all right all right all right then give me a [ __ ] hard time then yeah you're right you're right you didn't give the bastard off enough i'll tell you jim thank you goodbye and i never got nicked and i've never altered i've got a zero tolerance for me savile laughs as he remembers this showing that he enjoyed seeing other people suffer he was also known to despise children despite presenting jim will fix it a show in which he arranged for children to take part in experiences they'd always dreamed of people who worked at the bbc at the same time have said that children weren't exactly fond of savile either with many of them finding him to be creepy obviously i don't hate him so why would you say that then because we live in a very funny world and it's easy for me as a single man to say i don't like children because that puts a lot of salacious tabloid people off the hunt and it's here that we come to what has made jimmy savile quite possibly the most hated man in the history of british television savile had a strong working relationship with stog mandeville hospital being a public fundraiser for the facility he was given free reign to walk around the hospital visiting children however nurses at the hospital would sometimes tell the children there to pretend to be asleep when several was visiting years later it would be revealed when following savile's death in 2011 hundreds of women came forward accusing him of indecent assault when they were young some of these allegations went as far back as the 1960s and the accusations mostly came from people who were abused by savile at stoke mandeville leeds hospital duncroft school and on the set of top of the pops and jim will fix it many of them had reported the incidents to the police over the years but none of them amounted to anything the police never believed the accusations due to savile's reputation for his charity work another reason that the allegations never resulted in savile facing any repercussions during his life is due to him having so many friends in high places as he was known to be well acquainted with the royal family politicians and executives at the bbc thanks to this he was able to keep any controversy from sticking to him it's believed that a lot of people who knew of savile's antics and had a dislike for him mostly comedy writers attempted to hint at what sabil was doing through jokes on their tv shows eight year old girls love jimmy several though don't they and of course anyway i won't go on yeah yeah he loves her sloth that's what i'm saying oh i'm so excited i haven't been this excited since jimmy savile came to our open day at school and sat on my face oh god oh then this here is a letter from little timmy age five now dear jim i am in hospital you see and i wondered could you do me a big favor please please please don't come and visit me you sad man most infamously john lydon aka sex pistols from man johnny rotten in a 1978 interview more or less exposed savile implying that what he was doing was an open secret amongst people in show business and even stated that his comments would be suppressed by the bbc and he was right as the interview was not made public until 2013. so who else is on the gonna list oh it's endless believe me i just want to make a film of it on film i'd like to kill jimmy seville i think he's a hypocrite when i write and that is into all kinds of seediness that we all know about they're not allowed to talk about i know some rumors i bet none of this will be allowed out i shouldn't imagine libelous stuff will be our nothing i said is liable the allegations against savile led the police launching operation utree an operation revolving around the investigation of historical sexual abuse allegations against various entertainers of the bbc with the most notable arrest of course being that of gary glitter who had already been convicted of offenses in both the uk and vietnam and who i previously covered in my seven of the most evil musicians video jimmy savile's presence in wrestling may have been the least significant out of everyone on this list so far but out of all the entries the revelations surrounding him and his evil actions is by far the most extreme as it rocked an entire nation to its core james wiley smith better known by his ring name jimmy superfly snooker was a fijian professional wrestler born in 1943 his family moved to hawaii when he was a child where he began bodybuilding in the 1960s after winning several awards in bodybuilding he switched to a career in professional wrestling in 1968 and after spending over a decade wrestling in various territories in the us he would eventually be signed to vince mcmahon seniors wwf in 1981 originally wrestling as a heel he would have several matches against bob backlund during the latter's six-year reign as wwf champion the two had a classic cage match at madison square garden in 1982 during which snooker jumped from the top of the cage a move which led to the bout being declared match of the year by pro wrestling illustrated the match also led to snuka being a fan favorite despite being booked as a heel due to the fans being wowed by his high flying high risk wrestling style he performed the same stunts in another madison square garden cage match the next year which is considered to be the defining moment of his career several future wrestlers most notably a young mick foley were in attendance that night and cited the moment snooker jumped from the cage to be what inspired them to become wrestlers themselves this was the peak of his career however as besides a few high-profile angles he was involved in his career never really evolved past this point by the late 80s to early 90s snook had essentially become what is known as a jobber to the stars whereby he would always lose to younger rising stars but at the very least still have good matches during this time he earned the distinction of having been the first wrestler to lose to the undertaker at wrestlemania beginning the latter's undefeated streak at the pay-per-view that would go unbroken for over 20 years snooker's career would continue for many years after this and he would even be inducted into the wwe hall of fame but for as well remembered as he is for his in-ring accomplishments for much of his life there was a dark shadow hanging over him for an incident that occurred in 1983. at some point before the incident snugger had been introduced to a young woman named nancy argentino who he had met backstage at an event at madison square garden and though snuka was already married at the time the two began an affair soon after nancy's family wasn't sure what to make of snooker as he was very quiet and kept to himself with him only occasionally talking around them and even then he only spoke to nancy snooker also had a violent side which was brought about by his cocaine use nancy's sister recalled one incident where snooker threatened to kill nancy while they were having dinner he attempted to make amends by offering nancy's sister a bag of cocaine as an apology this was not an isolated incident as some time later nancy's sister received a phone call at 2am nancy was screaming at her down the phone saying he's chasing me nancy's sister then called the police arrived at the hotel snooker and nancy was staying at to find snooker grabbing nancy by the hair and upon attempting to intervene we're met with quote almost superhuman strength from snooker who resisted arrest snuka was arrested for assaults and harassment but would avoid jail time due to an affidavit signed by nancy her family begged her to stay home and avoid snooker unfortunately nancy did not heed their advice and went back to him on may 10 1983 snooker called for an ambulance saying nancy had been seriously injured she was transported to allentown's sacred heart medical center where she died shortly after of quote undetermined cranial cerebral injuries the coroner reported that nancy had died of traumatic brain injuries consistent with a moving head striking a stationary object they also noted that nancy was covered in cuts and bruises indicating severe domestic abuse pathologists determined that the cause of death was most likely foul play and that the death should be treated as a homicide until proven otherwise snooker claimed that nancy had slipped and hit her head earlier on the day of her death obviously trying to take any suspicion off of himself although charges were not pressed at the time against snooker the case was left officially open in 1985 nancy's parents won a 500 000 default judgment case against snooker in the u.s district court in philadelphia although he never paid claiming financial inability on september 1st 2015 32 years after the incident snuka was arrested and charged with third degree murder and involuntary manslaughter for nancy's death to which he pleaded not guilty by the time the case was reopened snuka was 72 years old and in the early stages of alzheimer's disease a hearing to determine snuka's competency for trial began in may 2016. snooker's attorneys argued that a forensic psychologist found snooker's mental and physical health to be deteriorating on july 1 2016 it was ruled that snooker was not mentally competent to stand trial for the murder and that a new hearing would be held six months later to re-evaluate his competency though his attorneys maintained that his condition wouldn't improve over time as he had also been diagnosed with stomach cancer the charges were formally dropped on january 3 2017 after it was determined that snuka could not stand trial he died 10 days later at the age of 73 during the period of the trial wwe had removed snooker from its hall of fame and also deleted his profile from its website it was clear that they knew that had snooker been seen as fit to stand trial he would have most likely have been found guilty for nancy's murder and cut ties with him as a way of distancing themselves from the situation especially since it was later revealed the chairman vince mcmahon was the one who convinced nancy not to press charges against snooker after he was arrested for abusing her and during the initial murder investigation he had told the police that he had never heard of any issues between snooker and nancy even though the assault was in the news like dynamite kid there's no denying that jimmy snucker is one of the all-time greats in the world of professional wrestling and paved the way for many of the high flying wrestlers who would come after him but the fact that behind the scenes he was a cruel and violent drug addict who abused nancy argentino to the point where she was afraid to leave him and eventually murder her in a drug-fueled rage a crime which he never faced any real punishment for shows that he really was an irredeemable man whose legacy will always be overshadowed by the horrific act he committed all those years ago brian michael mcgee is a former professional wrestler born in 1984 in saint louis missouri he apparently had a rough upbringing with his parents never having much money meaning he and his siblings would often have to go days without a proper meal and would have to ration every bit of food they got to survive his family's low income and social status led him to being bullied throughout much of his time at school growing up he always dreamed of becoming a professional wrestler this motivated him in sports at school and he became a vastly athlete in a number of sports he also briefly served in the navy after graduating high school after spending some time working in a pawn shop he decided to finally make the jump to wrestling in 2006. with his six foot seven 280 pound frame mcgee towered over most of his opponents which made him a big attraction on the indie scene after making a name for himself and winning several championships on the midwest wrestling scene he was ranked 476 out of 500 in pro wrestling illustrates its wrestler of the year ranking in 2009. in 2010 mcgee landed himself a developmental deal with the wwe where he would wrestle in their developmental territory florida championship wrestling under the name dt porter he would spend two years wrestling there going up against the likes of eric rowan and future wwe champion biggie langston in 2012 mcgee was released from the company after spending a year out of wrestling with an injury mcgee has since stated that he did not enjoy his time resting for fcw due to the ridicule and harsh treatments he'd received from the trainers there he expressed his feelings in a facebook post that read guys i don't know how much longer i can handle this every day is a constant struggle to keep my sanity i love wrestling and it's all i ever wanted to do already going crazy since i've been injured for like 10 months now but it gets worse every day a trainer goes out of his way to rip or disrespect me in front of the boys because i've been out for so long i can't clear myself i want to wrestle more than anything but i don't even know who i am anymore it's so [ __ ] hard i just feel it just building inside of me and i don't know how much longer i can contain it i have daydreams of just [ __ ] everyone up on some real [ __ ] i'm not a kid i'm a man but what do you do when the people in charge of helping you get to the main roster are the ones making your life the hardest i've been drinking almost every day it's to the point where i keep vodka and gin in my trunk help me he deleted the pulse soon after however claiming he had been hacked a friend of his says that being released from the wwe changed mcgee saying that he became like a completely different person and that he spiraled into an even deeper depression after his wife left him and also following the death of his nephew this led to his drinking becoming worse things did seem to take a positive turn for him when he met and began dating 25 year old bianca magogy who like him was a missouri native living in florida bianca was described by friends and family members as a very sweet kind and outgoing person who loved working with children and enjoyed spending time with her pet cats though the two eventually broke up they apparently did so on good terms and thus maintain contact with one another mcgee announced his return to wrestling saying his first match back would take place on april 20th of that same year his return would be short-lived however as two months after the match brian mcgee would commit a horrific crime on july 24 2013 bianca mcgowahy returned home to find mcgee was parked nearby she went to see what he was doing there as she approached he exited his car and walked towards her witnesses claimed the two were talking to one another before mcgee appeared to punch mcgohan in the stomach causing her to fall to her knees screaming in pain the witnesses then went to call for help when they returned they found mcgowahy lying on the ground with a knife protruding from her stomach she had been stabbed several times in the neck and abdomen and died at the scene after fleeing the scene mcgee changed his profile picture on facebook to an image he'd taken a magoi's blood-stained arm he then called his sister a mother admitting to murdering bianca mcgowahy police were already in pursuit of him and this eventually escalated into a high-speed chase which ended when mcgee crashed his car into a guard rail mcgee then attempted to escape on foot but was caught by a police dog and then arrested after spending a night in the hospital he was transferred to pascal county jail still wearing his hospital gown he was found guilty of first-degree murder in 2016 but was spared the death penalty and was instead sentenced to life in prison without parole former pro wrestler brian mcgee did what many inmates have tried to do mr mcgee would be sentenced to life in the florida state prison without possibility of parole he dodged the death penalty while it remains in limbo the state would withdraw their intention to seek the death penalty and got life in prison instead mcgee avoids the possibility of death row he will never leave prison that in the state of alive life means life yes ma'am he is currently serving his sentence in the apalachee correctional facility in florida punishment for the truly horrific and unforgivable crime he committed there's not much information on this case due to it not receiving much coverage but it's definitely the most gruesome so far douglas whitton was a wrestler who had fallen on hard times originally from canton texas he had moved to new orleans and had been staying in a rehab center for his alcoholism after signing himself out of the facility he would be homeless in october 1997 he was working at a local church it was here that he met a family of four 37 year old owen reeves 33 year old gayle whitehead 44 year old joe donovan and gail whitehead's nine-year-old son joey whitehead after speaking to the family and telling them his story they took pity on him and offered him a place to stay with them at their home at 426 boarding street until he managed to get back on his feet a week later owen reeves co-workers called the police saying that he hadn't come to work in almost a week and had not made any contact when the police arrived at the family home they were shocked to find that the four of them had all been brutally murdered with the murder weapons having been a knife and a blunt object similar to a brick or a rock douglas whitten was nowhere to be seen on the night of october 16th a homeless woman named jamie rorke and her boyfriend david smith where he appeared to be wandering around aimlessly carrying a duffel bag david smith was already acquainted with whitten having known him for four months to that point the three of them had dinner together and managed to put enough money together to rent an apartment for the night the next afternoon witten told rorke that he had done quote something bad but wouldn't say what that same day while at the laundromat rorke saw a newspaper about four murders rorke and smith then confronted whitten about the article believing he was the perpetrator of the murders whitten admitted to murdering gayle whitehead because she would tease him and pull on his hair he then killed joe donovan before finally killing owen reeves and joey whitehead roark and smith went to the police after he told them this who told them to lure whitton out so he could be arrested rorke went with the police to the warehouse where she her boyfriend and witton were staying and convinced whitton to come out to help her carry a bag of dog food at which point the police arrested him in his confession whitton stated that he quote flew off the handle he further stated that he had never gotten along with gail and that she made fun of him and stole from him he remembered her looking up at him and said that he hit her with his hands he also stated that he quote sliced the victims and poked them with a frog gig to make sure they were dead he could not remember doing anything to donovan he recalled reeves walking in and asking him where gail and joey were he also recalled reeves asking why a table was on its side and when reeves went over to investigate after whitten said there was a mouse in there he hid reeves on the head with a piece of marvel whitson pleaded innocent to the charges saying that he blacked out and wasn't aware of what he was doing this plea did not work however and he was sentenced to life in prison without parole there's no information on whitton following his conviction in 1999 but he is obviously still in prison and will remain there until the day he dies as punishment for the truly despicable act he committed all those years ago the final wrestler on this list i believe i have definitely saved the worst for last as juana berata is without question pure evil she was born juana deonara barazza sampiero in rural hildago mexico in 1957. her parents were trinidad baratza a police officer and justice sampiero an alcoholic prostitute when wanna was only three months old her mother abandoned her father to begin a relationship with her own stepfather huana was subsequently come to view as her father figure due to being separated from her biological father as a child wanna never learned to read and had a rocky relationship with her mother to whom she barely spoke to in her infancy at the age of 12 juana was pimped by her mother to a man named jose lugo in return for three beers lugo would abuse wanna for the next four years impregnating her twice though both pregnancies resulted in miscarriages juana finally left for mexico city after her mother died of cirrhosis during her time there she would have several failed marriages and have four children during the 1980s and 1990s juana held a variety of jobs and toured central mexico as a mass wrestler named ladama del silencio or the lady of silence an alias she chose an alias she chose in reference to her own shy silent personality in 1995 short of cash after the birth of her fourth child juana began to steal items from stores and this later evolved to burglarizing homes in 1996 she hatched a plan with a friend araceli tapia martinez to steal from the elderly the two dressed in white clothes and pretended to be nurses in order to gain access to the homes of elderly people living alone robbing them once they were inside however martinez was also in a relationship with the corrupt federal police officer moses flores dominguez and they concocted a plan to extort juana dominguez met wanna after a burglary that she had committed alone and he demanded 12 000 pesos in return for not arresting her in the year 2000 wanna retired from wrestling where she earned 300 to 500 pesos per fight and her situation became desperate around this time brutal murders of elderly people in mexico city began to increase fueling press speculation about the existence of a serial killer dubbed el matar viajites however mexico city police denied any connection between the crimes and a number of people were imprisoned for some of the murders juana actually had nothing to do with the murders committed in that time but soon she would add another elderly woman to the list of murders in mexico city juana's first victim was maria gonzalez anaya who was killed on november 25th 2002. once in her apartment gonzalez made comments that juana considered derogatory she was infuriated by this and beat gonzalez just before fatally strangling her with her bare hands wanna did not kill again for three months and she might have been inspired to do it again by existing stories about the mata viajitas rather than inspiring them herself juana approached her victims on the street or knocked on their door pretending to be a city council nurse or social worker initially she would disguise herself by simply dressing in white clothes but later she acquired a genuine nurse's uniform depending on her victim's health she would gain their trust and exceed their homes by offering massages or help in obtaining medicines if her victims were distracted she strangled them directly if not she would beat them first using moves learned in her wrestling career though she carried a bag with medical tools as part of her disguise juana usually strangled her victims manually or with the ligature taken from the victim's own home which she would leave at the crime scene she would also rob the victims after killing them mostly for her own gain but she would also keep some of their items as trophies the crimes increased sharply afterward by november 5th 2003 police had enough evidence and witness testimonies to believe that a serial killer was involved and that it was a tall person posing as a city council nurse or social worker to gain the victim's trust in december 2005 the police released a wanted poster with two eyewitness sketches of the matavi ajitas one more feminine and another more masculine looking but the sketches were labeled as persons of interest only and there was no mention of their clothing it wasn't until the following year the police finally admitted to the existence of a serial killer the attacks increased in rage and frequency and the times when the murders occurred changed from daytime to night time the killing of 82 year old carmen camilla gonzalez miguel on september 28 2005 officer patrols in the areas where the killer was active increased pamphlets advising the elderly to be wary of strangers were distributed along with new sketches and the police even paid elderly women to act as bait in the park areas the lack of murders after october made investigators consider that the killer had committed however on january 25th 2006 wanna was seen by a tenant as she left the murder scene of landlady anna maria alfaro and she was arrested by a passing police patrol thoughana was illiterate a search of her home found a trophy room with newspaper clippings of the murders wanna was also made to pose next to a bust and eyewitness sketches at the mata viejitas this was actually criticized as misleading the public into thinking that the police had been on the right trail to finding moana in fact one had previously been at a police station and was even interviewed on the tv program about wrestling just one week before her arrest all without arousing suspicion in 2008 juana was tried for 30 murders and was found guilty of 16 of them and also 12 robberies wanna was sentenced to 759 years in prison but she will be paroled regardless in 2058 at the age of 100. some may say that jimmy savile is the most evil person on this list due to how long he committed his horrible acts and used his connections to get away with it but considering wanna was an honest-to-god serial killer and took great joy in the attention her crimes got there's no denying that she truly is a heartless evil person she actually has more victims than most of the people mentioned on my six serial killers with the highest iqs video the only two people on that list with more confirmed victims than her are ted bundy and harold shipman and even then they were convicted for only 3 and 15 murders respectively if mexico still enforced the death penalty there's no doubt she would have been sentenced to death for her cruel and unforgivable crimes there is no doubt in my mind that juana baratza truly is the most evil wrestler who has ever lived i know people are going to leave comments asking why chris benoit wasn't on this list since we all know what he did i didn't put him on here because i simply don't think he can be completely held responsible for the murder of his wife and son as a coroner's report found that the amount of damage he'd suffered to his brain from repeated head trauma of his career had left him in the same condition as an 80 year old alzheimer's patient due to many concussions combined with his long history of steroid use and it's clear his mind just completely shattered and caused him to fly into a blind rage that left his family dead it's possible he didn't even recognize them by that point and when he finally regained control over himself and saw what he had done he was so overcome with shock grief and regret that he felt he just couldn't go on and we sadly know what he did next these reasons are why i just can't call him evil the act he committed was truly horrifying but he was so far gone that there can't have been any evil intent behind it because he literally had no idea what he was doing anyway that's the end of the video folks i'm sorry i had to cut certain words out the video most likely wouldn't be monetized otherwise so sacrifices had to be made i also had to add a vhs overlay to some of the clips to avoid them being blocked by the copyright holders i hope you enjoyed this video it's my longest ever i believe hence why it took so long here's hoping the next one won't take six weeks but knowing me it's hard to tell thank you very much for watching be sure to like the video leave a comment and subscribe if you're new and i'll see you all next time goodbye you
