10 Hardest-Hitting Wrestlers Today

On the surface, Samoa Joe isn’t your typical WWE monster. If he walked past you on the street, you wouldn’t even guess that he was an athlete. When he enters the ring, that changes. The man is a machine, and apparently has an endless fuel tank to draw on. Plus, he hits people really hard.

It’s a style that has served Joe well. Whether in TNA, ROH or WWE, Joe is consistently billed as the kind of man you don’t want to be stuck down a dark alley with. His combination of kicks and blows seem to come from everywhere, and the red welts they leave on his opponents let you know how much they hurt.

What’s impressive about Joe is that even if you took those strikes away, he’d still be one hell of a wrestler. The Samoan Submission Machine can beat you in countless ways, and his variety of MMA-inspired holds sometimes look even more painful than his blows. Having made his debut on the main roster of WWE in time for WrestleMania, we will all watch with interest to see what’s next for this particular monster.
