10 Wrestlers With The Most Dangerous Auras Ever

Aja Kong did very little with her face and yet did so much more with it than most.

She had resting "I can f*ck you up without doing a f*cking thing" face. With her burly frame and totally aloof, dispassionate expressions, Kong was the perfect counterpart to the spirited super-athletes of All Japan Women's heyday. She could absolutely get about, and did, in awesome sequences that put over Manami Toyota's kinetic technicality - but she was so great as the chilling, stalking menace who toyed with her helpless prey. Her opponents weren't opponents half the time, but mere insects to swat out of the air. An aerial attack was an annoyance to her, if anything; she coldly averted many of them by throwing her opponents unceremoniously to the ground.

GIF'd to this day for her stunning backhand strikes and demented head-first power game, her inimitable ability to mess up her opponents was informed by her callous, businesslike approach. She was outstanding in the spaces between moves, which she made memorable with pithy kicks.

She was a nasty piece of work who radiated a mean vibe like few others.
