10 Most DANGEROUS Wrestlers Ever

1. MMA Brock Lesnar (2012-Present)

Brock Lesnar was a hyper-charged wrestling machine between 2002-2004. When he returned in 2012, Brock was able to crow about dominating UFC. He...didn't though. No, Paul Heyman did that for him. In-ring, Lesnar just continued savagely beating the competition and mixing up his approach to become more MMA-focused.

It was terrifying.

John Cena sold like a man possessed at SummerSlam 2014, and that was long after Brock had gone on an arm-breaking spree during segments with Triple H and Shawn Michaels. Then, he stomped out The Undertaker's WrestleMania winning streak and later caved Randy Orton's skull in with some vicious elbows in 2016.

Hell, even Lesnar becoming 'Cowboy Brock' was scary. The way he's able to switch between fun-loving, laid back character and stone-faced killer? Incredible. Nobody in WWE since 2012 has brought the same consistent sense of danger to their matches. Nobody.
