Best big men in wrestling

Recommended Posts

What I'm talking about is him doing a regular kick-ass Vader Powerbomb, but the man took a bump wrong. I mean, I'm not sure if it was an accident or what.

Yes, the same man who can bench press 700lbs. and the same man whom I enjoy watching slather luchadors.

Well, pardon me for underestimating Nortan's ability to toss around juniors 1/4 his body mass. Simply astounding.

 

You know, I'm sure Mark Henry can bench press a helluva lot too. Just saying...

Vader. I haven't seen that much of Bruiser Brody, Terry Gordy and Stan Hansen, but what I saw was excellent.

I'm sure that he can, but I have never seen Mark Henry apply slatherings to random masked 200 pound wrestlers. Thus, Norton entertained me & Mark Henry didn't.

 

That's what it's all about after all. I was entertained.

That's nice, but do you think it classifies him as one of the best big men of all time? A lot of things about wrestling are entertaining, but when you add the "greatest _ of all time" context, I think it's best to try and look a little deeper than that. For example, Nortan, a physically-strong man was able to throw around men significantly less than him in a rather scary manner, but what else could he do besides that? Nortan, as a wrestler, was horrible, and no worth anytime unless he was, as you say, slathering some random luchador.

Vader. He has been in so many good matches with Flair and Sting. He even had a good match with Taker at Canadian Stampede.

The Bammer was great, but not as good as Vader, in my opinion. Vader was the mold for every monster heel after him, and managed to implement that character everywhere he went and dominate with it. Whether it was NWA, WCW, WWF, UWFi, New Japan, All Japan, or (currently) Noah, Vader is the definative monster heel. Bigelow has worked a number of places too, but he just hasn't shown the consistancy that Vader has kept over the years. It's pretty sad to see him work these days, actually.

That Canadian Stampede match came at a time when Taker didn't suck and a Vader/Taker match was almost guaranteed to be good.

With all of this talk about Lesner and the SSP being a mark out move, I give to you the jaw dropping "Holy Sh!t" move by the Headhunters:

 

The Moonsault

 

ever see these Abdullah the Butcher clones in a death match?

The headhunters are 10 times better than you'd expect buit no one comes near vader. and i think the big show is actually :o OK considering he is a 500 pound man in a wrestling ring. IF he lost weight (doubtful with his guaranteed HUGE paycheck) He'd be good. And he sells and jobs when asked. Just saying. Keep him in tag matches on the apron as a face and he'll be over forever. (ie not in a sngles match with austin.)

I saw the Headhunters do a Moonsault from a cage onto a table on one of the Lucha Libre shows on the Spanish channel. Watching them fatasses fly is a rather impressive sight.

 

Big Show would have to lose alot of weight to be worth a damn in a ring. But maybe that's just my hatred of slow moving dinasaurs talking.

He's just the first HOSS~ Angle has to elevate. I'm sure Mark Henry is next.

Vader without a doubt.  And Vader's powerbomb blew Scott Norton's away.

 

Stan Hansen.  I think the only reason he was a pro wrestler was so he'd have an excuse to pummel people.
