Unsung hardmen

The Mountie breaking all of Dynamites Teeth because he was a cunt. 

That wasn't being hard, that was stuffing a sock full of coins then taking a cheap shot at Dyno when he wasn't expecting it. Not that Billington wasn't a cunt or didn't deserve it, but the story makes Jacques look a coward rather than a hardman.

I don't entirely think they were being serious.

Viscera was known to sit in the locker room take a load of Viagra and whip it out. 
 

Is that not what you meant?

Flash Funk could hold his own, apparently. The main story is him beating the shit out of Hawk in the DPRK and later getting ready to shank him with metal chopsticks...

Don't think it was chopsticks though: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/wrestler-2-cold-scorpio-assault-b2568009.html

As these stories are quite well known, and have been told quite a few times before - maybe a better thread would be wrestlers who are utter shite at being tough, and couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag.

The less threads we can put Seth Rollins in the better

A lot of the British workers from back in the day were right tough old bastards from what I hear.

Adrian Street was not someone to mess with, Finlay and Regal battered each other just for fun. I guess it was part of the gig back then. 

Les Kellett has to be up there.

Hard man and utter twat.  Delightful combination.

I think that's probably about 95% of current wrestlers to be fair.

An unsung tough guy that might surprise people, @Devon Malcolm's favourite Jack Evans is apparently well trained in fighting and has won quite a few scraps in his time.

Plus, he lives/lived in Mexico City for years so the fella must have some absolute balls on him.

He goes a long way back with two of the hardest shooters of all time.

Josh Barnett and Bryan Alvarez!

...and that's just the men. I reckon Klondyke Kate and Princess Paula could batter the majority of male wrestlers today in their prime. 

I once apparently got on the wrong side of Kate, never been so terrified at a wrestling show than that night.

May not fully fit the bill but I remember a story of Chavo trying to attack the Big Show and rather than fight back Big Show was just reasoning with Chavo whilst Chavo kept punching. It’s an amazing visual. 
 

Not quite the purpose of the thread but I remember hearing about the fight between Show and Khali in 2008. I think it was after Backlash backstage. Apparently both the big lads are such sensitive sods that they both broke down in tears while trying to swing punches.

Saw Klondike Kate vs Princess Paula at Scarborough in the late 80’s and the beat the living shit out of each other to the point that my Mum said “I thought This was supposed to be fake”.  Tougher than I could ever be.

 As for the Mountie, seemingly it was his brother Raymond who was a legit tough guy, and had to step in a lot for his arsehole brother.
