The Undertaker looks to be a badass outside of wrestling. He's a dude who would be cool to hang out with
He truly is, he’s a big guy but as nice as can be. Great guy with a truly great life , hoping he stays retired and enjoys all that he has!
Saw a great interview with him on Stone Cold Steve Austin’s podcast. Taker was talking about when he was first starting out in matches against veteran guys and he got a little too cocky and cavalier with some of his moves and then got owned by the veteran wrestler. They had a great laugh about it.
I know it’s fake but people forget that it’s still a physical show, and people can get hurt doing it. I’d imagine it’s really easy to make a body slam sting a little.

They're all tough guys.
Outcomes are pre determined, but impacts etc are real.
Obviously, MMA guys such as Lesnar, Lashly, Riddle are tough AF.
In older days guys like Danny Hodge, Dr Death Steve Williams, Steiners, etc would have likely moved from college wrestling to MMA had it existed.
Then, you've got physical freaks like Andre etc.
Lastly, the brawlers like Haku, Bruiser Brody and the like.
They're almost all tough AF.

I worked in the wrestling business for many years. These are the guys who were reputed to be the toughest:
Haku/Meng
Harley Race
Bad News Brown
Danny Hodge
The Barbarian
Rick Rude
Dan Spivey
Billy Robinson
Karl Gotch
Guys like Lesnar, Ken Shamrock, Jake Hager, Alberto del Rio, & Steve Blackman were not to be messed with.
Don’t ever mention New Jack in the discussion. He was the epitome of a “wanna-be” tough guy. He’s the type who would pull out a gun or knife if losing a fight. POS.

Not a wrestling fan, but did hear podcast with Stone Cold once where he laughed about the security around Goldberg because he said "Goldberg could beat that crap out of anyone inside or outside of the locker room if he really wanted to."

The Nasty Boys aren’t tough guys. Worked with both. Maybe a little stiff, but not tough. The Bulldogs used to bully them when they first started. Dyno used to use their heads as ashtrays.
The Steiners were bullies and pricks. A guy named Vordell Walker put an end to that.

Well, Brock Lesnar was the UFC champ.

Should probably be two categories, old school tough guys and shooters. Meng/Rick Rude/Ron Simmons/Harley Race etc. in the first category, and guys like Hodge, Bob Roop, Angle in the second. Dr. Death and the Steiners overlap both.
Of course the MMA guys like Lesnar, Riddle, Shamrock, Severn, Dan Frye, Josh Barnette.

I heard a story one time that Brock Lensner wrestled Kurt Angle backstage once.
Kurt Angle pinned him inside a minute.

That’s not true. It was actually very competitive, although Angle was the superior wrestler. It was just a matter of technique. Angle also said that had Brock continued the amateur wrestling route, he could’ve been the best, he was that gifted.
Don’t believe the stories you believe about Jericho or Orndorff. Neither of them are what I’d call tough guys.
The reason Tonga (Haku/Meng) was so dangerous and so feared was because he didn’t play by any rules. He was trained to incapacitate your opponent by any means necessary. Most guys would consider certain things “off limits” during a fight but he didn’t. He’d maim or disfigure a guy, if necessary. He also was trained to ignore pain, and how to withstand stuff like mace & pepper spray, handcuffs, etc. That said, he didn’t rip Barr’s eye out. He had his finger in there, and could have, but didn’t. Barr was let go not long after that.

That's a massive understatement.
4 times all American, 2 times national champion, 2 times Big 10 champion, 106-5 overall record.

Yeah, Frank Mir also kneebarred him in 1:30 during his second MMA fight.
Everybody loses.

Brock Lesnar has to be up there. Went into the UFC and for a while proved he was a scary as he looked.
Posted on 3/8/21 at 8:12 am to 88Wildcat
At 280 pounds, Lesnars combine numbers were 4.65 40 yard dash, 10' standing long jump, 35 inch vertical jump, 30 rep 225 lbs bench.
