10 Most Badass Wrestlers In The World Today

6. Pentagon Jr.

Though brother Rey Fenix is a better pure wrestler than Pentagon Jr., the Lucha Bros' sadistic skeleton ninja trumps his hyper-athletic sibling's character work. He's f*cking terrifying. This has been the case since Lucha Underground established him as an arm-snapping alpha demon and while other promotions haven't worked quite so tirelessly to prevent overexposure, that Penta's aura is as captivating today as it was back in 2015 speaks to his undying badassery.

Unpacking what makes Pentagon so special is straightforward because the answer is "everything."

Aesthetically, he's perfect. The guy looks like a comic book hellion and moves like one as well, whether driving heads into the mat or creeping down the ramp. Charisma leaks from his every pore and he's a captivating presence from the moment you first lay eyes on him. Stylistically, he isn't too far removed from the modern indie blueprint in that he largely relies on big bombs and risky spots, but that works to his benefit. His chops are stiff, his piledrivers shorten spinal columns, and that he's willing to absorb his own fair share of Neck Stuff without dying puts him over the top.

Want to beat Pentagon? Make sure you don't leave his heart beating.
