Inspired by that recent thread wherein a poster claimed Brock Lesnar was not intimidating looking I present to you this thread.
Who is the most intimidating looking wrestler? It could be through character and costume, or physique, or overall size and bulk. You decide.
I am not sure. There have been huge beasts of wrestlers such as Bobby Lashley, Brock Lesnar. There have been gigantic men such as Show. I'm gonna have to go with my man, Bork. There may be better fighters in UFC, and bigger men in WWE, but Lesnar looks like he could rip off my arms without breaking a sweat (though he would probably turn purple).
What say you?
*BONUS QUESTION* Scariest, biggest wrestler you have met/seen in person?

Vader scared me so much as a child, but that may just be me.

Undertaker during his Ministry days was pretty f***ing creepy and intimidating.

As a kid for me? Papa Shango.
Its kind of shame he came in the era he did, because between the theme, the facepaint, and the mannerisms, he could have killed it in the late 70s/early 80s territory days with the right booking.

Kurt Angle, when he beat-up a handcuffed Eddie Guerrero after the latter's match with Paul Heyman. Guy looked legitimately mentally unstable. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRfOZ6jaJmU (about 4:15 in) |

Brock Lesnar. The man could slaughter this entire board alone.

And he did, as The Soultaker. Did he have the Papa Shango gimmicks when he was the Soultaker? What little I've seen of his Memphis work as him basically looking like he did as Kama, with an occasional "scary" voice for promos. |

Tough one on scariest looking on TV. I will say, having stood next to Mark Henry, TV is just not the same at all. I've known quite a few people who were seven feet plus, and Henry is, easily, the largest in terms of mass that I have ever met in my life. This was in 2000. Bonus for me was that he was one of the most approachable and amicable human beings I've ever spoken to. Good thing, too, since, well, I've been seemingly in cars smaller than him.

Back in the day... it really could've been anyone.
But, I feel like Brock is the scariest. Reason being, in a day and age where there's no kayfabe... people are still afraid of Brock. Last year, around Wrestlemania... there was a thread asking what would happen if Brock got angry and legit beat the shit out of Undertaker. There have been similar threads for almost every Brock match... what if he got pissed and beat the shit out of his opponent for real? When, honestly... Brock is a professional... he's there to do a job. In his younger days, he's come off as very pissy and egotistical... even in UFC, but I still think he's portraying the gimmick of Brock Lesnar.. when any interview away from that spotlight, he's seemed like a very cordial, friendly, even goofy guy.
But still, people act as if he's unhinged and just waiting for his spot to go off and murder somebody on live TV.

Brock has to rank up there, though 2000/2001 Kane is worth mentioning because it was probably Kane at his most ripped.
Wouldn't wanna meet Bull Nakano in a dark alley, either. Okay, so that's a lie, that could prove interesting, but I'd still be intimidated.

Never met the man, but we talk often about presence, and Haku/Meng always unnerved me. Yeah, I knew the stories, and that played a part, but dude straight up set off my "do NOT f*** with" radar.
