You ask wrestlers who the toughest wrestler of all time is, a lot of them will tell you Haku.
The Tongan giant was known for his tough attitude and was a legendary fighter in and out of the ring. He was known for being undefeated in fights.
Whether it was cops or promoters trying to short wrestlers on pay, Haku wasn’t to be trifled with.

Self-explanatory. Brock is the scariest dude alive. The apex human. He’s faster and stronger than you or anyone else on the planet.

Old-timer Mad Dog Vachon was from a time when wrestlers had to live the gimmick 24/7.
One of the scariest guys in and out the ring, Mad Dog was tough and wasn’t afraid of a bar-room brawl and fighting dirty.
“He gets the guy down, he reaches in, and he starts pulling the guy’s eye out! And Butcher, his brother, tries to pull him off. They finally get him off, and Dog was just biting the guy [on the face]. It was like something you’ve never seen.
Mad Dog also tried to crash a plane…that he was on.

Luna Vachon

A trailblazer for women in the ring, Luna was one of the first female wrestlers to ditch the “lady-like” attitude and adopt a wild and unpredictable persona.

Seriously, no other woman was cutting promos like this. Her look is totally unique.
Happy birthday to the late Luna Vachon!

A Frightening Spirit
Jushin Liger’s Evil Alter Ego: Kishin Liger
Japanese fan-favorite Jushin “Thunder” Liger has been a good guy for most of his storied wrestling career.
On rare occasions, the legendary cruiserweight has donned his evil Kishin character. Kishin doesn’t wear a mask but dons white facepaint and mist.
