The 10 Most Intense Wrestlers of All Time

Professional wrestlers are often viewed as testosterone-filled barbarians. They are filled with intensity and that helps fuel the excitement among the crowd. Some wrestlers have been more intense than others.

Professional wrestlers are entertainers. They entertain the crowd with their work in the ring and ability to get a rise from the audience.

These wrestlers are the most intense wrestlers inside and outside the ring. See if you can guess who will make the cut...

Honorable Mention: John Cena

John Cena is not always intense, but when he wants to turn up the intensity meter he can get up there with the best. His intensity and fire is what made him rise to the very top of the company.

Ultimate Warrior

Warrior's career with the WWE could be described simply by the word intensity. Warrior was truly crazy and was as much into his character as any wrestler has ever been.  

Wrestlers felt that he was difficult to work with because of his constant gibberish and inability to follow the original story line.  Despite this, Ultimate Warrior always brought so much intensity to the ring and interviews and delivered some memorable matches in his career.

Killer Kowalski

Killer Kowalski's move-set and attitude was all based around intensity. He would grab you by the throat and choke you out, or get down in his knees and grab your stomach and "squeeze the life out of you." Once, in 1952, he ripped his opponent's ear off.

Batista

Batista is one of the most physically imposing wrestlers of all time. From his machine gun entrance to his shaking of the ropes, which was inspired by Ultimate Warrior, Batista always brought intensity with him in the WWE.

Randy Savage

Randy "Macho Man" Savage was one of the most influential wrestlers of all time as he became a national icon.  Macho Madness was something that all fans embraced and loved. 

OHHH YEAHHH

Goldberg

Goldberg was not a professional wrestler for as long as other significant wrestlers, but he did make a name for himself in his seven years in the business. His intensity could match any other wrestler on this list.

George the Animal Steele

George "the Animal" Steele used to eat the turnbuckles... enough said. 

Roddy Piper

"Rowdy" Roddy Piper is the most high-strung wrestler of all time. He recently was on Monday Night Raw, talking to John Cena about energy. His mouth and his intensity made him a legend.

Triple H

Since Triple H has become "The Game" he has been one of the most intense wrestlers of all time. His water spitting entrance, and Thor-like look make him an icon that will be among the best all time when he is done.

Every time Triple H returns from an absence the crowd gives him a huge pop and he returns the favor with intensity.

Sid Vicious

Sid Vicious called himself the Master and Ruler Of The World and brought intensity with him in the ring. He was one of the strangest and wildest superstars ever. His intense facial expression explains it all.

Hulk Hogan

All I need to say is "Hulkamania."

When Hulk Hogan went into the hulkamania state, he was basically invincible. The look on his face and ripping of his shirts, showed how intense he was and helped globalize professional wrestling.
