10 Wrestlers With The Most Dangerous Auras Ever

10. Katsuyori Shibata

Danger is a quality that a pro wrestler simply exudes.

Much like any pro wrestling attribute, it can be and often is turned up, embellished, projected. But the true measure of a threatening aura, of a performer so innately terrifying that their mere presence is enough to unsettle the atmosphere, is surveying them as they simply stand there.

Katsuyori Shibata simply exudes danger.

He needs no accoutrement to get over as one of the hardest and most intimidating wrestlers alive. Indeed, his total lack of pretension - he wears the same black boots and trunks as he did emerging from the dojo system, as if anything else would represent an appalling desire to impress - almost indicts every other performer as a cartoon. They aren't, obviously, but most feel like one in contrast to Shibata.

His work complements the mystique. He unleashes the most disturbing strikes in the entire industry, which are complemented by his understated facial expressions; at most, Shibata etches his face into wry appreciation in response to his most brutal flurries of offence.

The no-frills aesthetic, the gruesome work, the intangible badass presence: even when Shibata can't work a "normal" match, he's still quietly mischievous enough to sell a more limited repertoire more than most.
