Toughest Wrestler of all time?

[Chuck Jones]

Who was/is the most legitimately tough wrestler of all time?

I'm going to say...Paul Orndorff.

[McLegend]

Kurt Angle

[Testicle]

masanto tanaka


terry funk, sabu, foley are close

[Dorkchop]

Andre?

[Fignuts]

Yeah Masato Tanaka is pretty crazy. But I gotta go with Freddie Blassey. The guy filed his teeth ffs.

[redoneja]

Dr Death Steve Williams

[Fignuts]

Andre?

Andre is way up there too. If you've read anything about his condition and how much pain he was in 24/7 then its obvious why.

[Testicle]

I forgot about New Jack,

Anyone that can have vic grimes' fat ass fall on their head from 20 feet and lives is tough in my book

[thecc]

The necro butcher

[Skippord]

Sabu

[Dorkchop]

Oh, I've heard Haku (Meng) is legitimately one of the toughest wrestlers out there.

[Nervous Ferret]

Stone Cold :cool:

[Skippord]

...I'm SABU!!!

[Fox]

Foley.

Dude got up after both of his insane falls at KOTR 98, forever cementing him, in my mind, as the toughest SOB to ever step into a ring. Fucking crazy bastard.

[Lock Jaw]

Iron Shiek. He's a shooter, man. He'll break your back. He is real champion.

[Dorkchop]

Iron Shiek. He's a shooter, man. He'll break your back. He is real champion.

He'll also fuck you up the ass and make you humble.

[Normal Is Me]

Sabu

There should be no way this guy should still be wrestling. I couldn't count the number of times I've seen him impale himself into a guardrail after a springboard backflip.

[El Fangel]

Foley.

Again he speaks the truth.

[Jordan]

Foley, Sabu, Terry Funk... these guys are insane and every match they go all out.

[St. Jimmy]

Harley Race.

[The Fugitive]

Shit... Haku, Sabu, Foley. Guess those are the ones that immediately pop into mind.

[Vastardikai]

Harley Race.


He's somebody who could fuck you up. I don't mean in his prime. You walk up to him today and try to start something with him, he'd fuck you up. I have nothing but Respect/Fear for him.

Harley Race is the only man to survive a Chuck Norris Roundhouse Kick. He then knocked Chuck Norris out: With One Punch.

Harley Race doesn't need silly stories to prove how much of a bad ass he is: That's what reality is for.

[Rammsteinmad]

Rob Van Dam.

He's a tough bastard. :shifty:

[Chuck Jones]

But Dr. Death got knocked out by Bart Gunn and got choked out in 20 seconds in PRIDE. That really knocked him down a peg.

But back in the day, he looked like a serial killer on AMW and he had that rep. Nobody knew if it was true, but nobody wanted to find out.

[AdrianM]

I'm think maybe Road Warrior Hawk as a roughie.
Iron Sheik?
ken shamrock (if he counts)

[Stickman]

Stu Hart

[Chavo Classic]

Triple H deserves credit for taking a boston crab/walls of jericho with a torn quad.

[The One]

Harley Race, Ron Simmons, and Stu Hart were the first guys to pop into my head.

[Gulak]

Super Dragon

[El Fangel]

Triple H deserves credit for taking a boston crab/walls of jericho with a torn quad.
And finishing the match, also Sabu for still being alive.

[Testicle]

Where is the love for the original gangster

[loopydate]

The question was toughest "wrestler" of all time.

[The Show Off]

X-Pac and Triple H are tied for both having sex with Chyna.

[Joey Slugs]

It's a tie:

Bruiser and Crusher

[weather vane]

I would say Haku, Harley Race, Bad News Brown...

[Vastardikai]

Yeah, Bad News is up there.

Anybody who could get Andre to back down from a fight with them is not somebody to be fucked with. He also fucked up Gory, Chavo Sr., and Hector at the same time, by himself. In addition he tied for the Bronze Medal in Judo in 1976 (?).

Thinking about it, yeah. Orndorf is a bad motherfucker as well. He knocked Vader silly with a left (I think it was a left, the arm that is visibly smaller than the other.)

Arn Anderson isn't a slouch, either. He was getting stabbed by Sid with Scissors while unconscious, regained consciousness, got the scissors out of Sid's hands and started Stabbing him back.

That being said. I stand by my opinion that Harley is the Toughest. He slammed Andre in 1978 (don't tell Hogan, though.), Got in a fist fight with Vader in '94 (IIRC, over how stiff he worked), Got stabbed by a guy and knocked him out, then pulled out the knife and handed it to a cop. That and survived a car crash that had left him partially paralyzed (and killed his first wife), and came back from it. That and the table thing that almost killed him in mid-late '80s.

[ddpBANG]

X-Pac and Triple H are tied for both having sex with Chyna.
Saturn too.









You're welcome.

[Volare]

Sabu

OR the barbed-wire match against Funk when during the middle of it, tapes his fucking arm up due to it being cut pretty badly, WHILE in a move for the sake of the match being that damn good.

That takes balls

[ChiefStubbs]

Cut up pretty badly? He ripped open his fucking bicep, and after the match, he glued it together and drove himself to the hospital.

[Volare]

Hey!! I'm not a doctor. If I was, I would've pinpointed everything that happened to him
