Samoa Joe is known to have a physical style along with his intensity in the squared circle that has made him a household name within the wrestling business, leading to him having notable runs in TNA, WWE, and now AEW, where he is the AEW World Heavyweight Title.
His journey
Joe won the title from MJF last month at the Worlds End pay-per-view event and most recently defended it against HOOK in the main event of Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite.
While speaking with Bleacher Report, the top AEW star was asked who he believes is the hardest hitter in wrestling.
The list
This is an opinionated question, as people have different answers to the Mount Rushmore question of listing their top 4 all-time wrestlers. In this case, it’s the top four most physical wrestlers he has shared the ring with. Joe named five people.
“The list is a Mount Rushmore of some of the most dangerous people in the world,” Joe stated. “You start from [Kenta] Kobashi and [Mitsuharu] Misawa. Young Wardlow. He hits like a truck. Brock Lesnar hits like a truck. Roman Reigns hits like a truck. There’s tons of people around the sphere of wrestling who all hit hard, and I’ve felt all that power, but they don’t hit as hard as me.”
