Toughest Wrestler of all time?
 

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

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

Kurt Angle

masanto tanaka


terry funk, sabu, foley are close

Andre?

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

Dr Death Steve Williams

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.

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

The necro butcher

Sabu

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

Stone Cold :cool:

...I'm SABU!!!

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.

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.

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.

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

Harley Race.

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

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.

Rob Van Dam.

He's a tough bastard. :shifty:

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.

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

Stu Hart

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

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

Super Dragon

Where is the love for the original gangster

The question was toughest "wrestler" of all time.

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

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

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.

Saturn too.









You're welcome.

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

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

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