10 Most Badass Wrestlers In The World Today

4. Braun Strowman

WWE don't always portray Braun Strowman in a flattering light, this is true. There are times when 'The Monster Among Men's' action movie act comes off corny rather than imposing, particularly when he's asked to topple Kevin Owens in a portaloo or get buried by Brock Lesnar in Saudi Arabia. Such discrepancies can't be ignored. Nonetheless, Strowman, at his most spectacular, is a force unlike anything else in professional wrestling today and a three-dimensional monster who inspires fear and awe wherever he treads.

Strowman was at his menacing best in 2017. Having undergone one of the most dramatic onscreen improvements in company history, he looked, moved, and carried himself like the most threatening thing in the promotion. WWE presented him immaculately, too. That they haven't always done the same since then is a black mark, though Strowman has been heated back up with great success in the past, proving his staying power as a monstrous upper-midcard/main event presence.

A gargantuan brute of inhuman strength, freakish athleticism, and a thick, booming voice, he's a meathead battering ram capable of crushing you with a single shoulder barge.
