12 Greatest Ever Fictional Wrestlers

The Crusher was a legitimate two-sport athlete: not only did he trade holds with Bugs Bunny in 1951, but the two also boxed each other in 1948's Rabbit Punch. Watching the earlier short, though, it's clear that Crusher was always destined to be a legendary wrestling heel. When his brute strength wasn't enough to knock Bugs out, he shed his gloves and started fighting dirty, most notably hijacking an actual train to try to kill his opponent.

Crusher's only real undoing was choosing to wrestle Bugs Bunny, who may look like a non-threatening New York-area cartoon rabbit but is secretly a primordial chaos god. Like, Crusher may as well have been in there trying to work a wrist lock on Gozer the Gozerian. Bugs kind of has that whole Tatanka, "get beat up the whole match, then just decide to win" thing going, except instead of throwing bad chops he just laughingly rewrites the laws of reality.
