12 WWE Monsters Whose Muscles Were Bigger Than Their Skills
11. Brakkus
The German born Achim Albrecht was a successful bodybuilder before choosing the path of professional wrestling. He won several competitions including the 1990 IBFF Mr. Universe contest before moving to the US where he competed in both the Mr. Olympia and Arnold Classic shows. He signed a contract with WWE in 1996, where he was trained by Tom Prichard and Bret Hart. None of their tremendous skills rubbed off on their student unfortunately, as he was slightly better than abysmal in the ring. The only highlights of his career are a submission loss to Tazz at ECW CyberSlam 1998 and getting his snotbox rocked in the Brawl For All by Savio Vega, sustaining injuries that would contribute to his eventual retirement. He now works as a personal trainer and sports nutritionist in California.
Brad Hamilton is a writer, musician and marketer/social media manager from Atlanta, Georgia. He's an undefeated freestyle rap battle champion, spends too little time being productive and defines himself as the literary version of Brock Lesnar.
