10 Least Intimidating WWE Monsters Ever

He may be big, but he ain't so scary.

Despite something of a change in the trend over recent years, professional wrestling has always been a land of giants. The reason we refer to wrestlers like Daniel Bryan as 'small' isn't because they are, it is because they are less huge than the men they are competing against. 5'10" isn't small, but it is when standing next to someone who is 6'6".

For a long time, being huge was pretty much all one needed to at least get a shot at success in professional wrestling. The 80s and 90s are full of intimidating big men, most of whom would find themselves either vanquished by Hulkamania or 'dominating the Undertaker like we've never seen before'.

The problem with a number of them was that they simply weren't that scary. Sure, they were big, but they weren't inspiring any nightmares. Sometimes this was down to the booking, but more often than not it was down to presentation and presence. No matter how hard the commentators would try, big simply doesn't always equal scary.

Here are the 10 least intimidating monsters in WWE/F history. I wouldn't be too chuffed if I came across any of them in a dark alley mind you...

10. The Great Khali

For about the first ten minutes of his career, The Great Khali was somewhat intimidating. The Indian monster came out and confronted the Undertaker, knocking the Deadman out with one dismissive waft of his giant paw. The announcers of course spoke of never seeing Taker dominated like that, and the cycle repeated itself once more.

It quickly became clear that Khali had the mobility of a monument however, and that in order to evade him all one had to do was not be in his admittedly impressive reach. Khali's fear factor wasn't helped by the fact that he seemed to carry a permanently tired expression with him, the look one has when they really don't want to go to the toilet yet again.

Khali was soon moved into a comedic babyface role, where his mobility worsened. His scariest time may very well have been his days as the Punjabi Playboy.
