10 WWE Big Men Who Were Surprisingly Good Wrestlers
1. The Undertaker
The Undertaker is the most important WWE superstar of all-time.
Aside from having one of the most iconic gimmicks in the sport’s history, ‘Taker has always been a first-class professional wrestler and a special attraction ever since his Survivor Series ‘90 debut. His aura, mystique, and reputation are unparalleled, his legacy is littered with gold and glory, and he’s sold-out arenas across the globe.
If anyone’s earned the right to call themselves pro-wrestling royalty, it’s The Undertaker.
Even at the age of 51, Undertaker is still having good matches. His two 2015 matches with Brock Lesnar were far better than they had any right to be, and while his WrestleMania 32 showdown with Shane McMahon wasn’t a technical masterpiece, it was still a fun spectacle. Aside from his later years, The Undertaker has been responsible for some of the greatest matches and most memorable moments in WWE history, and it’s all built on his immense skill between the ropes.
A great gimmick can’t succeed if it’s not backed-up in the ring, and The Undertaker has always been a tremendous professional athlete. His fundamentals and psychology are absolutely flawless, and he’s a world-class brawler whose toughness and legitimacy can never be questioned. Undertaker is a true ring general who has always been incredibly light-footed, and his “Old School” ropewalk was always impressive.
Calling The Undertaker a “great wrestler” is almost moot at this point, and at 6’10”, he rightfully goes down as wrestling’s greatest big man.
