This section of my list is dedicated to professional wrestling. There are a few characters from it that I have loved quite a bit and they find themselves bringing up the bottom of my list

Honorable Mention:

The Undertaker

"Listen, if you've got beef with me, I aint a hard guy to find. I stand 6'10, I weigh 330lbs, and I'm usually kicking the hell out of somebody."

"You can't kill what's already dead"

The Undertaker, by virtue of sheer longevity, has had one of the most dynamic possible careers. His gimmick has changed drastically, from Wild West Mortician, to Servant of the Devil to Badass Biker, and then simply THE PHENOM of wrestling, his character has remained remarkably constant (aside from the American Badass phase). Odds are if youve seen wrestling in the past 20 years, you've seen taker. He does say much, but his immense physical presence and masterful body language make those words irrelevent anyway. Most people right now are high on his recent string of wrestlemania storylines and with his carrer which probably came to an end at this most recent Wrestlemania. The trouble with writing a guy like him up, is that there is so much you could focus on. I personally feel his strongest run was in the attitude era where he served as this undeniable force slowly taking over the entire federation with his magic and occult followers. The entire thing tied in well with the real- world craze of parents freaking out over the occult and each and every angle was solid, even if this was the stretch that featured taker's worst matches.

The reason taker is the third of these three is that his character has not flowed very naturally from one place to another and that he himself was typically silent and an obstacle for someone to overcome or fail trying.

Honorable Mention #2

Stone Cold Steve Austin
"Give me a Hell yeah"
"Sportsmanship...what a load of crap, don't preach your morality to me. Steve Austin doesn't have any mercy... you want mercy? Take your ass to church!"

Steve Austin, arguably the main character of the WWF during the Attitude Era, is the definition of what wrestling logic is all about. hes a beer drinking, anti-authority, psychotic bad-ass who routinely beats the crap out of his boss and does so with a smile on his face. He is what so many americans wish they could be. What I like about Stone Cold is that he's pretty much just crazy the entire time. You see guys like the Rock, Vince McMahon or Triple H who are like these normal guys trying to play smart and maximize their advantages but they never realize, you can outsmart a crazy person. He is basically a prototypical badass.

Theyll do things you didn't think of. Force Stone Cold into a rematch for his title? He'll just toss it into a river and keep you from challenging for it. Try to escape in your limo? He'll crush it with a forklift. Try to get into Austin's head by putting him in an impossible situation? He'll freaking spray you and your buddies down with a high-powered beer hose and turn the tables. Austin is unflappable.

Even his heel run as a paranoid guy who just wants the affection of his boss fits into this as his perception of events differs from everyone else's and he becomes this unstoppable weapon that people continually try and fail to control to their own peril.
