10 Toughest WWE Superstars Of The 21st Century
2. Bobby Lashley
When Bobby Lashley entered the WWE in 2005, the sheer size of the man was enough to turn heads instantly. While it was easy to dismiss Lashley as simply another "body guy", Lashley proved to be a true athlete in every sense.
Having won several national wrestling titles in college, Lashley joined the US Army under its World Class Athletes Program. While in service, he became a two time Armed Forces Champion and was on track for the 2004 Olympics as an alternate. However, injury derailed that dream, leading him to pro wrestling.
Lashley quickly proved to be far more than just another bodybuilder and was beginning to find his feet in WWE when he went down to injury, never to return. Instead, Lashley turned his focus back to competitive sports by entering the world of MMA in 2008, building an impressive record of 15-2.
Currently signed to the Bellator roster, the man christened 'Walking Armageddon' has gone from awkward rookie to well-oiled fighter in the span of just a few short years. The fact that he has managed to do it all while still wrestling in TNA/GFW makes it all the more impressive and proves just how tough he really is.
