Who in your opinion are the five best big men currently in wrestling?

Question

1. Samoa Joe
Joe gives a new meaning to big man i mean he can fly over the ropes as good as crusierweights, can put on a technical clinic and is fast and agile.

2.Undertaker
Taker is past his prime but still can work good matches and carry guys (like Batista)

3.Abyss
When i first saw Abyss i thought he was a Kane rip off but after watching this guy for a while he has proved to be a good big man. Abyss can take big bumps,sell moves well and can put on a good match

4.Umaga
Umaga is very underrated he can make his opponents look like a million bucks(check out his matches with Cena) and is pretty good in the ring.

5. Erick Stevens i know he isn't massive but the guy is a good powerhouse and seems to be a good wrestler he would be a boost to WWE or TNA if they were to sign him.

Answer 1

1. Samoa Joe - a 280 pound Samoan who could do a Pelé Kick! now that is insane. He is very agile for his size, he moves like a damn cruiserweight! and he is a superb wrestler. A good well-rounded wrestler(shoot-fighter, powerhouse, submission artist, technical, and a bit of high-flying).

2. Undertaker - a veteran in the ring, he is the master of mind games, he might not be able to perform a Pelé Kick but the guy could walk the ropes. He is a great entertainer and performer.

3. Umaga - just like Joe, the guy is agile for his size. His gimmick might be out-dated but he is a excellent monster heel. If he could perform a moonsault, then the guy could be the next Big Van Vader!

4. Abyss - a great powerhouse, who could sell and take a huge bumps. But the thumbtacks has run it's course, it is being overused and it's just played-out.

5. Hernandez (LAX) - some people might not consider him a big man, but he is 6 feet and weighs 290 pounds, so yeah. He is the perfect guy to team up with the quick and smaller Homicide. It is a well-balance team. The guy is just a powerhouse who could also fly.

The reason I didn't include Mabel/Big Daddy V/Viscera or whatever because he is washed up. The guy can't work, he could only squash and needs to put on a shirt.

Answer 2

1. Samoa Joe
Joe's what Bam Bam was to big men wrestling 10 years ago.

2. Shawn Hernandez
An overlooked big man with some great moves that keep him standing out amidst a ring full of backflipping X-Division guys. As far as wrestling in general goes, I think Hernandez is definitely one of the more impressive.

3. The Undertaker
I feel bad putting him in the back seat to either man above, because even today this man's one of the best rounders in wrestling, forget about size, Taker can go high flying, technical, power house and almost any style you can think of.

4. Neilson Knight
Big Daddy V may be the most overlooked talented big man to ever step in wrestling. As a simple powerhouse big man, he's one of the more impressive in my opinion. I'm glad WWE's giving the former Mabel a new lease on his career.

5. Umaga
It's really overlooked how good of a match he puts on. If WWE pushed him correctly, he could be a big deal. Never have I seen such showmanship and committment in a savage gimmick, and the man knows his limitations and strengths so well, and knows when to work them. He's not so big that he can't get some speed behind him, but he's big enough to be very intimidating.

Honorable Mention:
Abyss...simply because the first time I saw the Black Hole Slam back in 02, my jaw hit the ground. Part of it was because of how well AJ Styles sells the move, and another part of it was just this mental picture of Bossman in a blender. The man is very critical of himself, and always goes out there to give more than he needs to. He takes the sick bumps that separate him from other, invincible big men like the Kanes or the Undertaker

Answer 3

5. Samoa Joe AND Umaga. Yes, they're being lumped together not because of their heritage, but because of their size and style. They're great, and if they can make big names someday, ... imagine the result!

4. This year's most improved bigman is definitely Big Daddy V. He's more fat than muscle... but by gawd, have you ever seen a more intimidating figure? That man can move it!

3. NO big man list is complete with The Big Red Monster, Kane. Whether it's leapfrogging an opponent, dishing out a dropkick, or connecting with a flying clothesline from the top rope, Kane is arguably the most agile Big Man in history. It's fun to watch his clothesline when he goes up there RVD style. (Literally jumping onto the top rope, they have videos)

2. Undertaker! You want reasons? You got reasons! Old School! How does one even TRY to walk on the rope? At his age it really does make him a phenom. His other signature high flying move is called "Deadman Air". His most notable recent use of it was at Wrestlemania 23, where he springboards without assistance of the ropes OVER the top rope and out of the ring.

1. The best big man of all time? The Big Show, who retired from WWE this year. Lots of people would go with André but honestly, its all about the Show. Ever see a 500 pounder do a missile dropkick? Me either, until Big Show's WCW days.

André was revolutionary, but Show was an athlete, and better yet, he could keep on a fast, entertaining match.

With all due respect to The Original Giant...

He probably couldn't entertain the crowds of today with his speed, unless he was feeding off the legendary factor.

Answer 4

CURRENTLY?

Well that's really hard to do..

1. The Undertaker

- Who's better than the deadman? No one... in the big men CUURENTLY

2. Samoa Joe

- Your right he can do it all.... How many big guys can you see flying around the ring? Although I think he isn't really that big man.

3. Abyss'

- He is good in the ring... he can really do a lot of stuff there for a big man.

4. Kane

- If you watched his past few matches.. including the one in ECW the fans have been behind him lately. That's a good thing.

5. Harry Smith

- The son of Davey Boy. He can do a lot in the ring, just like his father.

Answer 5

1. Taker. For his age he can still perform in the ring. Hopefully he gets the title reign that he was going to get before the injury

2. Samoa Joe- he is an all around wrestler that more than deserves a title. Watching a man his size do the moves he does is amazing

3. Kane One of my all-time favorites. He doesnt complain when he has to job if it is for the good of the company. Give the man a damn title

4. Umaga- Great monster heel. He has come a long way.

5. Abyss. I didnt like him at first but I have to give him credit for all of his hardcore bumps that he takes

Answer 6

Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho - Judgment Day 2008 Shawn Michaels vs. Kurt Angle - Wrestlemania 21 Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho - Wrestlemania 19 Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H - Hell in a Cell Match at Bad Blood 2004 Shawn Michaels vs. Undertaker - Wrestlemania 26 __________ BQ1: No, but I saw the results . I'm kind of in the middle of liking . BQ2: WWE __________ 1. The Beautiful People - A lot more entertaining (especially when they enter the ring), and a lot more ''bad'' . Since TNA is TV-14, their women are allowed to do so much more than WWE Divas . 2. Chris Jericho - He's been in the wrestling business for a long time, and has never seemed to put on a bad show . He has all the aspects of wresting that I look for, which are mic skills, wrestling skills, charisma, and dedication . AJ Styles is great, but Jericho is greater . 3. Edge - I'm not just saying Edge because Jeff is a druggie, but Edge is a lot more entertaining . Yes, Jeff can jump off of 25 foot ladders . But Edge can wrestle . There is a difference . 4. Christian - I'm kind of torn between the 2 . Rob Van Dam is better than Christian, but Rob Van Dam has been doing the same thing since day 1 in ECW . Christian has had many different looks, and he never gets old of watching . 5. Mr. Anderson - Better than Randy Orton in every last thing I can think of . Mic skills, wrestling skills, you name it and Mr. Anderson is better . I hate Randy Orton . He's overrated . 6. Beth Phoenix - Tara is good, but her everything besides wrestling skills is way off . 7. Madison Rayne - Eve can't even wrestle . I hate Madison Rayne, but the girl is tough . 8. Undertaker - This is the battle of 2 icons . Undertaker has been in so many matches, and so has Sting . But Sting was usually always a backstabber in promotions like WCW and TNA . Undertaker has been there since the good old days and I have to say, Undertaker is one of the best in the world . 9. John Morrison - 3 Words: The Pope sucks . He is mooching off of other people's storylines and he really isn't that good . John Morrison is better by far . 10. John Cena - I'm going to get so many thumbs down for this . But Kurt Angle is definatley one of a kind, one of the best . But John Cena has always been more entertaining than Kurt and I have to say, Kurt is great at wrestling, awful at everything else . And 1 more thing, the gold medal is old Kurt . That's all he uses to get noticed . 11. Taz - Funnier and better wrestler . Point and blank . 12. Abyss - I have never really like Kane, except for when he was masked . But Abyss is crazier, stronger, and doesn't have to use his brother for a decent storyline . 13. Samoa Joe - I don't even know why these 2 are together . Marc Henry sucks and Samoa Joe rocks . If you have ever seen Samoa Joe in other promotions, and even TNA, the guy is like 300+ pounds and still moves around the ring like Jeff Hardy . I don't think no one can compare to the wrestling type of Joe . 14. Generation Me - I find the Hart Dynasty highly overrated, and they give the Hart Family a bad name . However, Generation Me is young and fresh, and are really cocky . That's what I like about them . 15. They - Nexus is old . They were pretty good at the beginning, but it is getting quite stale these days . ''They'' are a very interesting faction, and I can't wait to see what that ***** Dixie will do with them . __________ BQ3: Currently - The MCMG All Time - The Second City Saints (CM Punk and Colt Cabana)

Answer 7

1. Abyss
Bar none the best big man in the business right now, and he is one of the top 10 big men of all time.

2. Undertaker
Like you said he is WAAAAAAY past his prime, but he is still considerably better than many of the big men in the business.

3. Matt Morgan
Matt Morgan has serious talent, but he still has alot to prove. He is a true 7 footer who was misused in WWE, which is surprising given their penchant for being high on "big men." Alot of people in the business think he has future World Champion written on him. Jim Cornette is certainly very high on him and had been lobbying for ages to get him in TNA.

4. Umaga
Umaga has done a good job since being given the role of his Samoan Savage character. He is not a good wrestler, but big men have never been known to excell very often in that department. He is good enough to be somewhat entertaining.

5. Kane
Kane has really deteriorated to the point where he is really a shell of his former self. He looks horrible out there most times, but still manages to rate this high because there simply aren't a great deal of good big men workers out there right now.

I don't rate Joe as a big man, but he would no doubt be on the list if one would include a wrestler of his size in that category. As far as Hernandez goes, there is no doubt that he is a guy who is kind of borderline "big man" and has done a good job in LAX. However the jury is still out on him, you need to really be able to have the potential to succeed as a singles star to be one of the best, and he is still pretty much an unknown commodity in that regard.

You should check out more of Andre's stuff when he was younger, because he was as good or better of an athlete as Big Show at one time in his career. Andre in his prime would translate well to any audience because he truly was a spectacle. Don't rate Andre on what you saw in his last years with the WWF when he could barely walk.

Answer 8

1. Undertaker
2. Umaga
3. Great Kahli
4. Kane
5.Samoa Joe

Answer 9

Here are the best 5 wrestlers in the sport today:
1. Kurt Angle-the best wrestler and story teller in the business. He is the total package.

2. The Undertaker-At 42 years old, the Undertaker is the best he has ever been. That sick!!!

3. Shawn Michaels-The Icon, the Showstopper, the main event.

4. Samoa Joe-the only reason he is not higher on the list is because TNA management continues to hold him back. If Joe walks, TNA is dead!!!

5. TIE-A.J. Styles/Christopher Daniels-Not in their current gimmicks though. AJ's athletic ability and high risk moves and Chris Daniels' offensive arsenal are surpassed by no one.

Answer 10

Andre The Giant
The Big Show
Samoa Joe
The Undertaker
