10 Best Pure Strikers In Wrestling Today

There's always been a lot of discussion around who has the best open-handed punches in the wrestling world. The likes of Kane certainly impressed the crowd with his powerful uppercuts, Stone Cold Steve Austin's ground and pounds have stood the test of time, and even The Big Show threw his hat into the ring with his knockout punch finisher.

Still, another name worthy of the crown is Dustin Rhodes, formerly known as Goldust.

Throughout his career, Rhodes has put the practice in when it comes to landing punches. Nowadays, his ability to clap people across the jaw is an integral part of his move-set, and the novelty still hasn't worn off. Seeing him land a perfect strike - whether standing or laying on his back - never ceases to impress the viewers and knock the confidence out of his opponents.

Rhodes expertly implements these striking skills into his offense, as most of his attacks revolve around them, with a wide array of holds and manoeuvres tacked on the side. He may no longer sport his golden shine, but he's still got golden fists.
