Right now if you can call Lesnar a hoss he's streets ahead of everyone else. Yoshihiro Takayama's impressed me as well.

 

As for fat guys, Vader is No.1, and I've always liked Big Show and Yokozuna as well.

 

I really, really hate Bradshaw. The embodiment of hoss.

Big Van Vader = king of the hosses. Could go a half hour AND do moonsaults.

[Guest razazteca]

I prefer the Abdullah the Butcher clones known as the Head Hunters as the death matches I have seen by them are freaking insane, they both can do highspots such as the MOONSAULT.....legit 500 pound fat bastard doing HIGHSPOTS!!!

[Guest Respect The 'Taker]

I've always been a big mark for Vader, Yokozuna and Big Show.

 

Vader is leaps and bounds ahead of most fat dudes in terms of talent and plain bad-ass attitude.

 

I'm with saturnmark on the Bradshaw hate. I was happy the day i found out he'd be gone for a long time.

 

Pity he'll be back.

I loved Vader. I remember every so often, he would go for the Vadersault, but when the opponent moved, he would sometimes jump anyway, but LAND ON HIS FEET! That is one agile big man! Vader has to be the best of all time.

Best:

 

Vader

Yokozuna - Always liked him

Kevin Nash - If he counts then he was ok when motivated

 

Worst:

 

Bradshaw

[Guest saturnmark4life]

I still shake me head in disbelief when vader does his 'get thrown off the top' spot about 10 times faster than Ric Flair on his best day.

[Guest snuffbox]

All-Time: Giant Gonzales

Current: Mabel/Viscera/Nelson Knight

Dishonorable Mention: Big Show

[Guest Pigsy]

Does Mick Foley count as a hoss?

 

I don't think he's that much smaller than Bradshaw and JR liked him, both of which are part of the hoss criteria, I believe.

 

If he does, then he's one of the better hosses.

[Guest saturnmark4life]

I wouldn't count Foley as a hoss, I mean he's not small by any means but hosses are either freakishly tall, muscular or fat and he wasn't any of those.

[Guest Plushy Al Logan]

Foley was jolly.

 

Every Rose Has It's Thorn!

[Guest Your Olympic Hero]

Best - Vader

Worst - Mabel

[Rendclaw 0]

Vader by FAR was the best, and I don;t say that just because I have him as my avatar, either... from the first time I saw him in WCW back at the GAB 89, all the way up until Vince bastardized his talent, I was way impressed with the man. Then again, anyone who was Mike Tyson's sparring partner in Tyson's heyday gets high marks from me.

 

Worst, god, there are so many but I would have to take Giant Gonzalez

[Guest TheHulkster]

Best:

All Time: The Miracle Power Combination

When Vader was off, he could get Mark Henry level. When he was on, he still wasn't 1/2 as scary as Brody or Hansen when they were on. Hansen knocked Vader's eye out for christ's sake. Thats a Hoss and a half right there.

Current: I like Lesnar, but jesus are his promos completely non-threatening, and he isn't even Southern. I wouldn't consider Takiyama a Hoss either. Does Goldust count?

Honorable Mention: Vader, The MVC

[B. Brian Brunzell 0]

Best: Vader

Honorable Mention: Dr. Death

 

Worst: Um, doesn Man Mountain Rock count as a HOSS?

[Guest Banky]

No love for Bam Bam Bigeolow? For shame!

[Guest DerangedHermit]

Best (current):

1. Blockuh Resnah~!

2. Kane

3. When motivated (or carried)

- Taker

- Test

- Kevin Nash

- Big Show

- Rikishi

 

Worst:

1) Nathan Jones

2) Bill DeMott

3) Bradshaw (if not for APA stuff and Clothesline from Hell, he'd be MUCH worse)

[Guest AndrewisyourHero]

Yeah, the clothesline from hell's his one redeeming factor..Stan Hansen could still steamroll him with the Lariat, though

[Guest Coffin Surfer]

Stan Hansen by far. The man was genious when it came to constructing matches, putting people over, and selling his ass off.

 

Honorable Mentions: Dr. Death(motivated), Brody, Vader.

[Guest Pigsy]

I wouldn't count Foley as a hoss, I mean he's not small by any means but hosses are either freakishly tall, muscular or fat and he wasn't any of those.

Fair enough.

(I don't consider Foley a hoss, but I wouldn't describe Bradshaw as freakishly tall, muscular or fat though, and he's still a hoss. But who cares anyway? )

 

Nathan Jones has got to be a contender for the worst... if Vince McMahon feels the need to comes up with ways to avoid having the guy wrestle on tv, he must be shit.

[Guest the holy grail]

I can't remember the guys name he was around during the nineties. About 1992 to 1996, he was about 7 feet looked scary but he was the worst hoss i have ever seen, please give me names! oh yeah he was in the WWF

[Guest BAR]

^^^ You're probably talking about Giant Gonzalez.

 

Best: Vader

Worst: Big Show

[Guest Ray]

Vader is EASILY the best fat man/hoss ever.

[Guest Polish_Rifle]

Best: One Man Gang

 

Worst: Tie between Mable and Typhoon

[Guest Lemon Drop Kid]

Wow, A-Train is a better than a lot of guys I can't stand to watch!

 

Anyway, JR said of Charlie Haas, "Charlie IS a Hoss." at the Royal Rumble, so if he has JR's stamp of Hossproval, then that's okay with me.

 

Also, HHH of 2000 was a great hoss.
