To add to Hodge you have [just going to run down eras] George Hack, Frank Gotch, Joe Stecher, Strangler Lewis, Earl Caddock, the Zbyszko brothers, John Pesek, Henri Deglane, Jim Browning, Lou Thesz, Karl Gotch, Billy Robinson, Verne Gagne, Dick Hutton, Jack Brisco, Harley Race, Antonio Inoki, Bob Backlund, countless old era Japanese like Seiji Sakaguchi and Masahiko Kimura that I can't be bothered to name, new age Japanese like Akira Maeda and Kazushi Sakuraba, Dr. Death Steve Williams, Bad News Brown, Vader, Kurt Angle, Bobby Lashley, Jack Swagger, and Meng if No Holds Barred. Amongst several others I'm sure...

 

[Lee]

Brock Lesnar.

 

[TootsieBear]

What about Hardcore Holly?

No pick one. Pick the best Ech. Out o all these legit shooters of a bygone era, the Japs and the grapplers of today, pick one!

Thanks JR

A lot of wrestlers from the 80's and before, those guys were no joke.. No superstars today would make it in the Octagon, unless your name is Brock Lesnar. Kurt Angle might of done well 15 year's ago.

 

[Starkist]

Shelton Benjamin.

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

Thanks JR

I could probably handle Ric Flair on a panel.

John Pesek.

I'm sorry but who?

Bobby Lashley and Jack Swagger say hi.

I'm sorry but who?

Google him.

 

[BaconBits]

Jack Swagger. He's got the wrestling pedigree and would have a pretty killer reach advantage on just about every heavyweight out there. He's young enough that he could probably still do it.

 

[justinsayne]

I could probably handle Ric Flair on a panel.

You could probably produce a better podcast too.

Lou Thesz. He deserved a beating.

He said WHC boxer Primo Carnero was a pussy. Not to his face but in his book.

Dr. Death Steve Williams

OMG biggest fraud in wrestling. The latrine rumor in the 90s was that Steve Williams was the best grappler, the best amatuer wrestler, the toughest guy......turns out he had a glass jaw

 

[HORRORHOLIC]

There are a few, William Regal is one for sure.

 

[nightmare]

Nikki Bella should have been a UFC ring girl. Does that count?


Seriously? If we are going with now: Cesaro. Overall: Benoit, Angle, Finlay, Regal.

 

[braveh]

Benoit.

I don't think so pal.
Biggest reach disadvantage in the history of MMA.

 

[nightmare]

Benoit & his little T-Rex arms would do just fine. Go ahead and throw one of those lanky arms or legs at him & see how quick he locks on a submission. He would tap people out more than you give him credit for.

Why would none of these guys make it? Do you know them? Do you train with them? Have you lorded over every thing every on of these guys has done? No.

The conditioning of these guys is of the hook and I imagine that they will have dabbled in little bits of MMA training before. Then you have the guys who were college wrestlers and so forth. I’m of the opinion that when your an athletic type of person you can excel at most physical sports given the right amount of training.

Billy Robinson

He'd submit more men than a New York City 7th Avenue hooker.

I know there are times we all need money but say it isn't so Sal!

As to the OP:
Rick and Scott Steiner - tough as nails with a pretty noticeable nasty streak.
