10 Strongest WWE Wrestlers EVER

5. Big Show

Think about how much strength it takes to pick a grown man up on a stretcher and slam them against the ring post. Then, pause to ponder the power needed to make sure you don't kill that person and can perform the stunt in a controlled manner. Big Show deserves a place on this list for that one spot alone.

At Backlash 2003, he smacked Rey Mysterio against the post in one of the most dazzling visuals ever committed to tape. Sure, Rey isn't the biggest worker in the world, and he did come down face-first on the ringside mats, but still - Show deserves applause for even managing to use him as a human baseball bat in the first place.

Few others could've managed that, if anyone.

Show has also claimed he once bench-pressed 500lbs for 12 reps earlier in his career. He naturally had to build up to that (at least to do it safely in the gym), but possessed eye-watering strength from a young age. The Mysterio spot was downright scary and showed off his power.
