7. Samoa Joe

The "Joe's gonna kill you" chant didn't come out of nowhere, as the recently crowned NXT Champion is no stranger to kicking the hell out of his rivals.

Although Joe has long been associated with the moniker The Samoan Submission Machine, he's easily eligible to be called The Samoan Striking Machine as well. He busts out a vast array of punches, kicks and general attacks, which always keep his opponents - and the audience themselves - on their toes.

However, it's not just the variety that puts Joe here, as he also has a significant positive in his corner, that being his size. Thanks to his impressive and intimidating stature, all of his strikes look painful and full of impact (pun intended). Still, he even busts out some remarkable agility, with his signature reverse corner kick being impressive for someone half his size.

The NXT Champion is an expert on almost every aspect of wrestling as he's got submissions, manoeuvres and strikes for days. Thus, it's no surprise that he finds himself on this list.
