Top 10 Biggest Jerks in Pro Wrestling
Paul Michael Levesque, better known by his ring name Triple H, is an American semi-retired professional wrestler, corporate executive, and actor. This guy took steroids to appease McMahon, then proceeded to sleep with McMahon's daughter just so he could get ahead in the business. The longest, slowest, most painful, and cringiest promos ever! Racist as anything and one of the biggest backstage politicians ever. He tried to ruin Kurt Angle's title push and buried many wrestlers by complaining to his wife and father-in-law.
Countless main events and 14-time champion without ever being as popular as Austin, Rock, or Taker. (He even has more title reigns than all three.) And now, he is an executive in WWE because he married The Billion Dollar Princess. Triple H, you are scum!
Jerome Young (January 3rd, 1963 - May 14th 2021) was an American semi-retired professional wrestler, better known by his stage name New Jack in ECW. By far the biggest moron in wrestling history. He once beat up an old man - real tough guy - and was engaged in many fights with other wrestlers because of his idiotic behavior.
New Jack actually stabbed a guy 13 times in a match and got jail time. Enough said.
The guy cuts people in the ring without their permission.
Terry Gene Bollea, better known by his ring name Hulk Hogan, is an American professional wrestler, actor, television personality, entrepreneur and rock bassist. Hogan has gained the reputation of being a bad person due to the leak, but wrestling fans have known for years that Hogan is not the perfect, do-no-wrong human being he portrayed on TV, and is, in fact, a jerk. One of the reasons Hulk Hogan is a jerk is his refusal to lose to just about anyone.
Hulk Hogan has long had the biggest ego in all of wrestling. This is a man who never learned to wrestle but somehow always managed to headline every show.
He is heavily hated by today's IWC and many wrestlers of his time.
Brock Edward Lesnar is an American professional wrestler and former amateur wrestler, professional American football player, and mixed martial artist who is currently signed to WWE. Brock Lesnar never came across as a gentleman on screen, so you won't be disappointed to know that he is a jerk in real life. Even when Lesnar was a face, it was never believable because he gives off heel vibes. But that's not really the reason he's on the list.
While Lesnar is a private person, and one must respect that, he absolutely hates meeting fans. According to Lesnar and those who know him, he simply doesn't like people and hates being approached by fans.
Not to mention his homophobic comments from a 2004 interview, where he repeatedly said that he doesn't like gay people. Many interviewers have also accused him of being a jerk and difficult to deal with due to his rude and dry answers. Wrestling fans have always felt that Lesnar doesn't care about the wrestling business and only shows up to collect easy checks, which further proves that he earned a spot on this list.
Kevin Scott Nash is an American professional wrestler and actor, currently signed to WWE under their legends program. He is best known for his time with World Wrestling Federation under the ring name Diesel, and World Championship Wrestling under his real name. Nash was a great talent, but then he let the business go to his head. When he returned to WCW in the early 90s (invasion angle), he quickly became an issue. His legendary drunken behavior left more than one person, most notably Paul "Big Show" Wight, injured. This behavior caused his finisher to be banned.
The final straw happened when he was allowed to book matches. Between Bischoff's greed and complete mismanagement, and the general drunkenness of the nWo members at almost every show, Nash had a big hand in WCW's downfall.
Now, Nash is nothing more than a bitter has-been who has so many injuries he cannot do much in the ring.
Lawrence Robert Shreve (born January 11, 1941), better known by the ring name Abdullah the Butcher, is a Canadian retired professional wrestler. He has a reputation for being involved in some of the most violent and bloody hardcore wrestling matches of all time... read more He gave his opponent, Hannibal Devon Nicholson, Hep C during one of their matches and neglected to inform his opponent he was infected. This should make him one of the top 10 jerks in pro wrestling.
Bladed himself and other wrestlers, even though he had some kind of disease that can be transmitted by blood, and he knew that.
Christopher Michael Benoit was a Canadian professional wrestler. During his 22-year career, he worked for numerous promotions including the World Wrestling Federation/World Wrestling Entertainment (WWF/WWE), World Championship Wrestling (WCW), Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), and New Japan Pro-Wrestling... read more I wouldn't say jerk. I would say criminal. He killed his son and wife. That is absolutely psychopathic. He should be in hell by now.
As much as I despise Triple H, how is this wife-and-child-murdering monster not number one?
As much as I hate the people above him, have they EVER killed somebody?
David Michael "Dave" Bautista Jr. is an American actor and former professional mixed martial artist and professional wrestler. Sucked up to Triple H. He's arrogant and full of himself, which is why he ended up on the other side of a beating by Booker T.
Greedy chump who thinks he is the greatest guy on the planet. Calls himself a "real man," but has a belly button tattoo and wears skinny jeans. He is always on Triple H's nuts.
Phillip Jack "Phil" Brooks, also known by the ring name CM Punk, is an American comic book writer, actor, upcoming mixed martial artist and retired professional wrestler who is signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship... read more Easily should be top 10 if not top 5. One of the most egocentric jerks ever! He thinks he's God's gift to the world and has nothing to show for it. He believes his own hype, along with his delusional fans, and actually believes he can be a real fighter in the UFC. He is too lazy to hit the gym and too arrogant to train properly for pro fights. He just steps into the octagon looking exactly the same.
If the infamous scripted "Pipebomb" promo never happened, nobody would care about him. Get over yourself.
Dumped on WWE after everything they offered him. Accuses Ryback of purposely damaging him. CM Punk is a straight-up ass.
John Charles Layfield (born November 29, 1966), better known by the ring name Bradshaw or JBL, is an American retired professional wrestler and football player. He's a moron who likes to target new wrestlers and beat them to a pulp because he's too chicken to fight an experienced wrestler. Not to mention, he lost to many professional wrestlers and could easily get dropped by any good wrestler out of the ring, and maybe out of the business.
This bum's got no class. Almost 75% of his matches are with fighters who have little to no experience. I hope a new wrestler emerges and crushes him. JBL will try to jump him one day, and the new wrestler will crush him again. Send that fool into retirement!
The Newcomers
This person wrestled as Bruiser Bedlam and Johnny K-9 in the WWF and Smoky Mountain Wrestling, but he was also the leader of the Satan's Choice biker gang.
He was convicted of bombing a Greater Sudbury police station. He was accused of murdering a lawyer and her husband and faced charges for assault.
Scott Oliver Hall was an American professional wrestler. He is best known for his work with the World Wrestling Federation under the ring name Razor Ramon and with World Championship Wrestling under his real name.
He stabbed Brody to death in a shower in Puerto Rico over a business disagreement and fled the scene.
Warrior was an American professional wrestler, who wrestled, among the others, under the ring name The Ultimate Warrior for the World Wrestling Federation from 1987 to 1991 and again in 1992 and 1996. During his 1998 stint in World Championship Wrestling, he was known as The Warrior. Called Todd Grisham a queer. Spoke negatively about MLK Jr. Said, Who cares about the Hurricane Katrina victims because they're all Black anyway and don't have cars. Highly unprofessional in the ring and drove The Renegade to suicide.
He didn't care about the wrestling business. He only cared about making money. He was very difficult to get along with, and he even held up the WWE for more money.
The Ultimate Warrior was a real legend, even if he was a jerk. P.S. He was not a jerk. Have you watched wrestling? How did you get this far in the wrestling world called WWE?
April Jeanette "AJ" Brooks, better known by her ring name AJ Lee, is an American retired professional wrestler. Aj Lee started her professional wrestling career in 2009 where she spent 2 years in Florida Championship Wrestling. She debuted under the ring name of April Lee at FCW, until a few months... read more Why do people get annoyed about AJ Lee haters? They're right - she is very rude in real life.
Vincent Kennedy "Vince" McMahon is an American professional wrestling promoter, former announcer, commentator, film producer, actor, and retired professional wrestler. Without a doubt, the biggest jerk in WWE history is Vince McMahon. Better words to describe him would be "sexual deviant." The feds are investigating him now over his latest sexual harassment case. What should happen is they take the company away from the McMahon family altogether. He has gotten away with a lot of indiscretions, crimes, etc. because of his wealth.
In many ways, he's very similar to Donald Trump. Both guys are in their 70s, treat people with complete disrespect (especially women), are homophobic, have a "cult" following, and are tremendously despicable people. I am truly glad to see a few former stars step up and voice their displeasure with the ways he tries to run things. More than likely, there will be another "out of court" settlement. This crap has to stop.
Triple H, Stephanie, and Shane should also be held accountable. They knew about all his shenanigans and never spoke the truth about any of it. Vince McMahon has to go, and not just in "title" only.
Robert William "Bob" Howard is a semi-retired American professional wrestler, actor and former racecar driver. Hardcore Holly is, was, and will always be a bully. There is a reason he does not have a spot in the industry.
Scott Carl Rechsteiner is an American professional wrestler, better known by his ring name, Scott Steiner. Steiner was a steroid freak and is well known for his roid rage issues.
He is a different man now than he was during the Monday Night Wars at this point.
Steiner has long been regarded as one of the biggest whiners in the industry. He is infamous for roid rage and being a complete ass. He was much better before the steroids. This man is a great example of what NOT to do in wrestling.
This man has done more steroids than any wrestler in the history of the business. I wouldn't be surprised if his testicles are the size of peas.
William Scott "Bill" Goldberg is an American actor, former professional football player, and semi-retired professional wrestler. Took his character too seriously. He was, and still is, very arrogant, which is why Jericho once put him in a front facelock.
Stephanie McMahon Levesque is an American businesswoman, professional wrestling valet, professional wrestler, minority owner, and the Chief Brand Officer of WWE. It's just her character in WWE. She's a nice lady in real life. You people are just jealous.
Huge egomaniac like her father and husband. She's a spoiled brat.
A rich brat who always wants more. That's really all I can say.
Mark LoMonaco is an American professional wrestler. He is currently signed to WWE, where he performs under the ring name Bubba Ray Dudley. Not a nice guy in or out of the ring - constantly curses at fans.
John Felix Anthony Cena Jr. (/ˈsiːnə/; born April 23, 1977) is an American professional wrestler, rapper, actor, and reality television show host signed to WWE, where he is assigned to the SmackDown brand... read more This man is a horrible guy. He did charities, but does that matter?
After all, he is very strict with his kids and he roasts kids and his own fans.
I hate Cena. He is the real jerk of wrestling. Moreover, Vince McMahon is the real jerk because when Cena returns, he goes to the ring and says, THE CHAMP IS HERE, and Vince actually gives him a title match. He is burying talents like Dean Ambrose, Sami Zayn, and Kevin Owens.
Met Cena backstage while I was working SmackDown. He was rude and looked like he had the devil in his eyes. Not a real fan's man.
Melina Perez is an American professional wrestler, valet, model and actress. She is best known for her time with World Wrestling Entertainment under the ring name Melina.
Richard Morgan "Ric" Fliehr, better known by his ring name Ric Flair, is a professional wrestling manager and American retired professional wrestler currently signed to the WWE under a legends appearance contract. He may be a legend, but he is a jerk.
Thomas "Tom" Billington, best known by the ring name Dynamite Kid, (December 5, 1958 - December 5, 2018) was a retired English professional wrestler. Steroid abuser and wife beater. He also threatened her with a shotgun.
Michael Sean Coulthard better known by his stage name Michael Cole, is an American professional wrestling commentator, show host, voice actor and former journalist. NO, he is annoying as a lead commentator.
