10 Most Larger Than Life Wrestlers In The World Today

6. Braun Strowman

The most physically intimidating man on our list is no one-dimensional stiff.

Braun Strowman, at his best, is an absolutely f*cking awesome force of nature, making him almost unique in today's pro-wrestling world. He's a near-perfect modern big man in that he works an upgraded version of the traditional blueprint. While guys like Keith Lee and Lance Archer are better pure wrestlers and bring traits that are almost certainly beyond Braun, they don't work the same way Strowman does.

Already a massive unit at 6'8", 285lbs, 'The Monster Among Men' feels even bigger for his personality. Yes, his gruff promo delivery is almost cartoonish, but it works perfectly for what he is: a big, explosive spectacle. His charisma and ability to get relatively mundane catchphrases like "get these hands" over set him apart, and while WWE seem to prefer him as a popular guy only to be heated up when one of their more favoured stars needs a big win, Strowman could absolutely be playing a bigger role.

That he routinely pulls off wild, eye-popping action movie stunts enhances Braun greatly, too. That Bobby Lashley feud was insane.
