20 Absolute Worst Wrestlers EVER (... According To YOU!)
11. Brakkus (0.76/10)
Brakkus was a prime example of WWE’s misguided obsession with bodybuilders during the late 1990s.
With his chiselled physique, the Vince McMahon dream sequence wrestler looked like a can't-miss, but the moment the bell rang, his in-ring limitations became glaringly obvious. Lacking any real wrestling instincts or athleticism, Brakkus’s brief WWE run was a series of forgettable performances that exposed the veneer performer and promoter strove to create.
Bouts were slow, awkward, and filled with poorly executed spots, as numerous different, dynamic and diverse wrestlers tried and failed to make something - anything - work with the lumbering powerhouse. His time in ECW wasn’t much better, with his CyberSlam 1998 match against Taz being a particularly embarrassing affair. Brakkus was utterly outclassed despite being given power spots over his smaller opponent, and the match was kept relatively brief to avoid further disaster.
More's the pity too - the look was so good and others have gotten by on much less.
