The 5 stiffest workers in WWE history
Professional wrestling is a strange industry. Even though the results are predetermined the pain is very, very real. Wrestlers go out every night and put their bodies and careers into their opponent’s hands. Trust between opponents is as important as who wins eventually.
Over the years wresting has had different kinds of workers. Some gentle, some devastatingly stiff. In this list I’ve compiled the stiffest workers in WWE history. The wrestlers on this list were by no means bad at what they did, but they did leave bruises in their wake at the very least.
5: JBL
JBL has been a notoriously stiff worker throughout his WWE career, not even taking into account numerous instances of backstage bullying that have been reported against him over the years.
Rumour has it that every time Vince needed to send a message backstage during JBL’s time, he sent JBL out to hammer home a point. This was done to debutants sometimes, and at other times as punishment doled out by ‘wrestlers court’.
JBL was a powerhouse in his prime, and his arsenal of stiff and devastating strikes could take out both rookies and seasoned veterans. His patented ‘Clothesline from Hell’ could behead opponents.
