10 Wrestlers With The Most Dangerous Auras Ever

1. Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar's aura is inimitable.

This is a man who is possibly even more frightening when he's acting jolly than he is screaming a war cry like a banshee. When Lesnar is being jolly, it's because the imminent prospect of obliterating some poor c*nt amuses him to no end.

Lesnar transcends the awful, synthetic polish of WWE. It's often written that the vibe changes when he's onscreen, and it does, but then, it would change if he appeared on children's television. He essentially does, but you get the idea. Lesnar can just stand there, and you feel his credentials. He can drive his thigh into somebody's stomach, and it feels so much more painful and elicits so much more of a visceral reaction than virtually any disgusting head drop. Lesnar is demonstrably capable of putting down some of the most renowned combat athletes in history - even in fields in which he's not particularly skilled. The man is a monster.

At Elimination Chamber, he created an awesome atmosphere of doom when climbing the cage to get at Austin Theory. He looked like he could scale Mount Everest within minutes, and when he reached this summit, he pounded Theory's head so hard that it's wonder his brains didn't ooze from his ears. Lesnar is a special, ridiculous athlete.

How can you possibly give a sh*t about somebody in long tights getting pushed instead of him?
