7. Goldberg

There'd be no place for Goldberg on a list of larger than life wrestlers put together after Super Show-Down, where the former WCW Champion had never looked so old, broken down, and human after concussing himself on a ring post vs. The Undertaker, before shambling through his late-career's most dangerous, botch-packed performance.

Regardless, SummerSlam's complete obliteration of Dolph Ziggler completely restored the 52-year-old ass-kicker. Not only did Goldberg put his cocky opponent away in less than two minutes, he did so after absorbing two of Ziggler's best shots, putting his toughness over at a time when he needed it the most. It was totally effective, and should ensure Goldberg's forthcoming run as WWE's badass old man who only shows up when somebody needs to get whipped into shape goes well.

WWE understand how to present Goldberg in order to preserve his aura. Short, sharp, decisive squashes are the answer, as is only utilising him once or twice throughout a calendar year. Any more than that and his training-ravaged body will give up on him, exposing weaknesses big enough to destroy any larger than life presence.
