10 Most Larger Than Life Wrestlers In The World Today

10. Minoru Suzuki

Minoru Suzuki is proof that a wrestler need not be physically imposing to come off larger than life.

'The King' stands at just 5'10" and tips the scales at 224lbs. Moreover, he's 51-years-old. None of this matters, though, because Suzuki feels ten feet tall when he hits the ring - particularly when you experience him live.

The man's imposing aura is informed by his background as a pivotal mixed martial artist, having founded the vaunted Pancrase organisation in 1993. MiSu doesn't need to tell you he's a badass because he is one. Instead, he carries himself like the hardest, grumpiest man on the planet, scowling at Young Lions, officials, and opponents with a gaze that could melt the ice caps, with ridiculous physical charisma making him more imposing than most 7' monsters.

When Suzuki applies an armbar, he tries to tear the limb off, not just submit the opponent. When he strikes, he does so either to instil respect in or concuss his victim. The wrestling style fits the character to a tee, and while other former MMA stars exude baddassery, none feel as huge as Suzuki.
