10 of the toughest men in wrestling history

8: Big Van Vader

They just don't make men like Vader anymore. A legit four hundred pound walking mountain of muscle and ferocity, Vader could moonsault with the best of them and had the ability to generate momentum with only a few steps.

Understandably, Vader was not someone you'd want to mess with. He once had his eyeball knocked out of socket during a match with Stan Hansen. Vader popped his eye back in and continued the match. Because he's Vader and that's how he rolls!

Allegedly, the man who plays Vader is actually an articulate, intelligent man with a college education, but his barbarism is what earned him a spot on this list.
