Aleksandr Karelin
13 years undefeated. The Karelin lift. The single most dominant athlete in wrestling history.
Aleksandr Karelin's style
Three-time Olympic gold medalist (Greco-Roman, 130kg). Karelin was unbeaten for 13 years — never gave up a point for six of them. His reverse lift (the Karelin) suplexed heavyweights like they were children. The most physically intimidating wrestler in history.
