 What's good Josh for Ross back again with another video. So we're gonna check out 10 stiffest WWE wrestlers today We all know there are some wrestlers that are pretty stiff when they're in the ring They you know, they're definitely hard hitting a few I can think of off the top of my head Brock Lesnar Definitely stiff Walter definitely stiff. I would say Shinsuke Nakamura. He has that strong style He he's definitely stiff. I would even say Sammy Zane has a a stiff style of wrestling and to be honest with you I do like the stiffer style of wrestling. You can put John Moxley in that category Brian Danielson in that category I like stiff style of wrestling because it gives it that more believability. You know, it gives it that more Realism granted it can be a lot more dangerous, but I just like that You know to see the bruises the scars, you know, it's just let you know they had a war within the ring So appreciate our love of support row to ADK. Let's check this video out and pro wrestling There are a ton of different in-ring styles over the years There's been an increase in wrestlers opting for a hard-hitting style of offense This is known as being stiff in the ring or can sometimes be referred to as strong style This style of wrestling is rather physical and while some say the style is dangerous It's kind of safe. It's about hitting as hard as possible without causing any long-term damage on the opponent in question This style is popular in Japan, but it's seen an increase in WWE It has since WWE have allowed their talents to become more experimental in their in-ring work Join us now as WrestleMania looks at 10 of the stiffest wrestlers in WWE Oh the doobler and tundra's be sure to subscribe and hit that notification bell for daily wrestling videos And follow us on Facebook for exclusive lists Number 10 Drew McIntyre A former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre has been incredibly stiff in the ring During his initial run in the company, Drew was rather reserved in his offense But all this changed after a successful run in Impact Wrestling as well as the independent scene When Drew returned to the company in 2017, his in-ring style had completely altered Drew is now insanely physical in the ring and this allowed WWE to see him as a legitimate tough guy as well as someone They could put in the main event position Drew has admitted in a number of interviews that he prefers this in-ring style That is always a funny clip dude Just sitting there by the Times Keeper area get blasted by the clayboy game That's always a funny clip. I love that clip Specific preference to wrestle those WWE Superstars who match this intensity This likely explains why Drew has had fantastic Shameless is very stiff as well See he has a stiff moveset as well Stick matches with the likes of Shameless and Bobby Lashley both which have similar in-ring styles to the Scottish psychopath Number nine Gunther a very few super water The stars and the WWE roster can match the sheer intensity of Gunther water a Walter Gunther is like nothing that WWE has seen. Oh my god He made his name on being stiff in the ring and delivering some of the most brutal looking offense ever seen in the squared circle His it said that shots Most lethal chops in the wrestling and anyone who has wrestled a former NXT UK champion will be able to support this claim Now although Gunther prides himself on hitting hard It's worth noting that Gunther's in-ring style is safe. It makes for compelling viewing as a WWE fan Since joining WWE Gunther has managed to have classic matches with the likes of Elya Dragunov Pete Dunn and Tyler Bape all of these have attempted to match the ferocity of Gunther's offense Which has naturally resulted in some of the stiffest matches in NXT history Number eight Goldberg Goldberg's reputation for being overly stiff in the ring began in Yep, this is this is true. I think he was part of the reason why Bret Hart ended up He had to retire at one point. I think he was the reason why Bret Hart ended up retiring because he was too stiff I could be wrong correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that was the story. That's what happened It's too respective runs in WWE Goldberg unlike anyone on this list doesn't quite pride themselves on being stiff in the ring That's because most of Goldberg's stiff offense comes from dangerous and reckless accidents in the ring in WTW Goldberg notably hit Bret Hart with a stiff kick to the head There we end a promising career for the wrestling legend Caught it spot on in WWE There are a number of examples of Goldberg being stiff that could have resulted in serious injury The most well-known example is Goldberg's infamous match with the undertaker Goldberg Wouldn't consider that being stiff. I just that was error. That was just wrestler Not being able to really, you know protect the undertaker at the time Like he wasn't able to get them all the way over. So I wouldn't call that being stiff. That was just That was just Error, you know, he made a mistake. Oh, and I wouldn't call that just hold. I was a stiff move He just literally damn it dropped him on his head. I don't think it was intentional He just couldn't get the full rotation Stiffness came out of a concussion. But nevertheless, this was an example of where a WWE Superstar being stiff in the ring crosses a line and becomes Incredibly dangerous number seven Bobby Lashley Similar to Drew McIntyre Bobby Lashley returned to WWE back in 2018 with a brand new wrestling style Lashley was now a successful MMA fighter and his in-ring style incorporated a lot of MMA style moves Lashley is now extremely physical in the ring But he is out of doubt one of the safest and reliable Superstars on the current roster having never injured anyone at this revamped in-ring style made fans draw comparisons between Lashley and Brock Lesnar and the two eventually square off in a dream match at the 2022 Royal Rumble Which Lashley won the more physical even though that match was kind of lackluster Is Bobby Lashley barely got any Real offense if you want to be honest here they Bobby Lashley really didn't look like he Even stood a chance in that match if it wasn't for certain Interferences which sucks because I think they could really tell a great story in the ring possibly but They went with the ladder to really promote what's going on with Roman, but be honest with you the match Buildup did not live up to the height between those two of my personal opinion. It's okay But I just think what Bobby Lashley he didn't really get the offense He deserved to get within that match Michael in-ring style for Lashley has been rather successful and has allowed him to wrestle in a way that he feels comfortable with Since returning to the company in 2018 Lashley has won the title on two separate occasions Which is a great achievement for the 45 year old it is number six Shayna Baszler Oh, yeah, she's definitely a mark in WWE. Shayna Baszler is a completely different style to the women's division Shayna was a former MMA fighter and her offense has incorporated a lot of MMA style moves Shayna is truly a groundbreaking wrestler in the sense that before Shayna was wrestling There was nobody in the women's division that was wrestling with as much physicality as her When Shayna began to wrestle an NXT there was concern with how fans would react to her offense The NXT fans in particular were fans of her in-ring style. Yeah, she didn't win the NXT women's title However, when Shayna jumped to the main roster in 2020 There were complaints that a stiff in-ring style was boring and this potentially removed plans for Shayna to win a main roster single Man, that's bullshit my personal opinion. They dropped the ball on her Now I believe she was in the women's elimination chamber. She pretty much squashed everybody Which I get but at the same time like in the sense of her placement in the elimination chamber The women's elimination chamber that year when she came to the main roster She should have been the last woman and then destroyed everybody and maybe had somebody really put up a fight And that's about it when she went against Becky. I'm thinking Becky got dropped the title here because you know See it builds her up as a real Viable threat, but they didn't drop the title They didn't give the title to her and I think her moveset works because she she comes off as a legit badass she's been you know kind of in boring feuds feuds with Well, what was that Alexa Bliss in a power gimmick? I couldn't stand that just was just cringe You know, so I just think she deserves to be a women's champion She she looks like a dominant person that will kill you, but they they're not going with it I think is I like her style. I just think it's BS. I don't think WWE is really like pushing her because she doesn't have the WWE like super feminine look like nah, bro She deserves to be a women's champion comment down below Let me know if y'all think she deserves to be a raw or smackdowns women's champion because I think she does me personally title Number five ronda rousey when WWE signed ronda rousey in 2018 It was a huge deal ronda was one of the biggest names in MMA and pop culture and her involvement in WWE was Monumental for the women's division Ronda quickly became a full-time talent in WWE and she would wrestle virtually every WWE Ronda was coming into WWE with an MMA and judo background That's naturally translated into in-ring work Whilst ronda was stiff in the ring the majority of her offense looks credible and legitimate This was seen as something fresh from an in-ring point of view It's just her promos are fucking boring She needs someone else to talk on the mic because she is not entertaining to listen to she's so boring We're a few complaints from the likes of Alexa Bliss and Nia Jax that ronda was too stiff in the ring But these comments weren't supported by others who wrestled a former raw women's champion Ronda's first run in the WWE was well received and it actually led to her returning to the company in early 2022 for a second run as a babyface This consequently offered more depth and substance to the WWE Shamus that's common practice for shamus to come out of a match with cuts and bruises all over his body Shamus prides himself on working with intensity and physicality Shamus likes to view his matches as actual fights While this corrupts some superstars the wrong way for the most part of the WWE superstars have enjoyed Shamus is the workhorse in WWE. I ain't gonna lie to you, bro He he has for the most part pretty good matches. I love his in-ring work He's very believable in what he does, you know, he's had some lackluster feuds But he's also had some um pretty interesting feuds in my opinion He just works well with a lot of opponents. Honestly Shamus definitely the workhorse in WWE. He's the unsung hero for sure Working with the Celtic warrior Shamus has had an extremely successful career with his style having worked with top talents such as Randy Orton Triple H, John Cena and Daniel Bryan whilst never holding back to no matter who he's in the ring with In 2021, Shamus had a number of intense matches with Riddle Yeah, he was also prone to being stiff in the ring Riddle would publicly declare that he loved his matches with Shamus and he loves what Shamus brings to the table Number three, Asuka 2015 saw the arrival of Asuka to WWE She was one of the most in-ring talents in Japan and she was bringing a completely different style to WWE Her offense was physical and stiff. It was gotta be hard for anyone on the WWE roster to match her intensity Asuka was an NXT standout. She had an historic NXT women's title reign Which brought credibility to the division as well as the title when Asuka was called up to the main roster in 2017 She once again found success and here's the thing about Asuka that I was enjoying what they were doing I want to say she vacated the title Nobody beat her for the NXT title. It correct me if I'm wrong Nobody be here for the NXT title. She gets to the main roster They continue her win streak on like announcing it. She was running through everybody And they had a pretty good match with her and Charlotte. And what do WWE do? Give the win to Charlotte Now is Asuka like, you know Buried because of that a little not at the time She she lost a lot of steam because of that loss because that was BS I think Asuka should have won that match. I think a lot of us believe Asuka should have beat Charlotte that that WrestleMania That WrestleMania night, but she has regained You know regained her steam back from the time she was able to regain the titles And that's the one thing I could say about Asuka Asuka for the for the most part like There you know saying she's able to like Rebuild herself get people interested and I think a lot of people just like to see Asuka You know I'm saying kicking people's asses like I think that's just really what it is So I'm can't wait for her to come back because lord knows the division Needs her but it's good that she was able to even after that monumental loss. She was still able to Have the crowd still care about her if anything the crowd just wanted to see her hold a championship and be one of the top women In the division says although Asuka kept her in ring style the same She was incredibly charismatic meaning casual wwe fans took to ask her and made her one of the most popular female stars ever She's number two shinsuke Nakamura knew it a shinsuke. Nakamura's nickname is the king of strong style for good reason During Nakamura's days in japan. He attained a reputation for being stiff in the ring Yep, you do make everything he did look absolutely devastating upon execution Let's help Nakamura have some of the most physical matches in japanese wrestling history And when Nakamura joined wwe in 2016 the king of strong style continued this style against some of the biggest names in wwe history Yeah During his wwe run Nakamura had wrestled like sesena randy warden aj styles and Nakamura never held back against these opponents He's given them everything they can handle At number one Apparently he's supposed to be facing roman reigns. I want to say a resummonial backlash Do I think the match will be good? Yes, it's something fresh Do we honestly think Nakamura's gonna win? No, but Either way, I think the match will be entertaining something fresh We have not seen before and apparently he was supposed to have this match last year But something happened. I don't remember you guys will probably remember what i'm talking about. You're supposed to have a match We're roman reigns. So Interesting to see how the match will play out. That's i'm gonna leave that there Johnny noxville. Anyway, just joking. Number one brock lesnar. Oh, yeah And during brock lesnar's first wwe run between 2002 to 2004 his in ring work looked always great and physical But it was nothing in comparison to how his in ring work looked when he returned to wwe in 2012 Lesnar has been an absolute animal in ufc having been one of the most successful fighters to ever stick with in the octagon Lesnar now incorporating a lot of his mma offensive to his wrestling style with punches kicks and takedowns and submission moves Lesnar's matches always looked incredibly real and legitimate and his matches have in turn become huge attractions on a wwe match card Although lesnar's offense is insanely stiff and it looks like it hurts Lesnar is actually one of the safest guys on the roster And there have been no complaints from anyone over the past decade about lesnar being unsafe or reckless in the squared circle But they have it folks. I think his matches are you know, they can't be entertaining, but at the same time They're really redundant. It's a whole bunch of suplexes. There's a whole bunch of uh, yeah, pretty much suplexes That's mostly that's what his match divulges into Unless he's facing someone with a different like more of a Uh, I guess a smaller opponent when he's facing smaller opponents the matches they flow a little bit better His match he had with aj styles Uh, fantastic the match he had with daniel bryan Fantastic the match he had with seam punk that summer slam when they were feuding fantastic It wasn't just a whole bunch of suplexes and f5s it You know, he's it was he was able to work with those opponents a little bit better in my opinion Brock Lesnar can't give you a five star match It just depends on the opponent and their moveset because you can get more out of him than just the suplexes The f5s that's just my personal opinion, but he is definitely stiff and he has no problem Dropping you on your head over and over and over But hey, man comment down below Let me know who you guys think is the stiffest wrestler Of all time in any era and we're not just talking about now. We can talk about attitude error Maybe somebody you know in the 80s or 70s doesn't matter what company Who do you feel like it's the stiffest wrestler of all time? Like when you saw them in the ring, it's like god damn, man It looked like he's legitimately killing this person. Let me know down below, but I appreciate our love and support row two 80k appreciate y'all kicking with me. See y'all next time
