10 Most Badass Wrestlers On The Planet Today
1. Brock Lesnar
Who else could take the top spot on a list of current wrestling badasses? Although his pain threshold may not historically be as high as Triple H’s or The Undertaker’s, no other wrestler can dish out physical harm through hand-to-hand combat quite like Brock Lesnar.
That’s not to say he’s a weakling when it comes to taking punishment. Lesnar famously suffered a concussion at WrestleMania XIX, after spectacularly botching a shooting star press and landing on his head and neck. Still, he managed to finish his scheduled match with Kurt Angle, even picking Angle up to deliver a final F-5.
But what makes Brock so dangerous is his total mastery of combat sports. As a highly decorated pro wrestler, brief American Footballer and acclaimed MMA fighter, Lesnar is one of the most accomplished combat athletes of all time. He’s the only man to have won the UFC Heavyweight Championship, the WWE Championship, the NCAA Division 1 Heavyweight Championship, and the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, meaning his dominance has spread across various fighting disciplines and multiple continents.
Let's not forget the way Lesnar opened up Randy Orton's forehead with his elbow at Summerslam last year, drawing the kind of blood that usually requires deep and calculated blading.
Lesnar is a monster among men - an undeniable badass the likes of which wrestling may never seen again.
