Some monsters are too dumb to understand anything other than fighting. Some are reasonably intelligent if a little disturbed, criminally psychotic by most standards outside of the wrestling world. Some turn out to not be that bad, simply misled by a depraved manager, but these are bad for the reigning champion, as the manager can give them a focus they would otherwise lack. A monster's strength and fury can be fueled by external forces like medicine that had unintended side effects on him. Some claim to have supernatural powers, some claim to be beasts that only take the guise of men.

Another is that Brody and Gonzalez were going to have a match together once, but Brody didn't want to do it because he thought Gonzalez was too small, which he also said to his face (he called Gonzalez a "fucking midget" to be precise.) Gonzalez then stabbed Brody but apparently did not intend to kill him. Unfortunately, Brody had taken 7 aspirins because he wanted to get a good blood flow in his match (a common trick in Pro Wrestling) and as a result he was bleeding too heavily for the doctors to save him. However, at the end of the day nobody knows why Gonzalez did it.

* Wrestling/BrockLesnar, the Next Big Thing. ''[=SmackDown=]'' had a nice amount of cruiserweight wrestlers to feed him and he was faster than most of them too. He also out-muscled those in his weight class and was pretty much booked to be an invincible heartless bastard, helped by the fact he [[RealLifeWritesThePlot broke Hardcore Holly's neck]], and the fact he finished a match when his own was broken! And then he [[DefeatingTheUndefeatable broke The Streak.]] And now, with a dominating win over Wrestling/JohnCena at Wrestling/SummerSlam 2014 in the books, Lesnar is now being pushed as the ultimate, invincible monster. Being one of the most legit members of the rosters by way of being [[UsefulNotes/UltimateFightingChampionship a UFC champion]] also helps.

* Already something of an InvincibleHero, WCW tried to turn the Wrestling/UltimateWarrior into one of these. He had many squash matches, but the run is mostly remembered for an infamous [[SpecialEffectFailure mirror scene.]]

** Jake Hager, enforcer of the Wrestling/InnerCircle, and [[TheyCallMeMisterTibbs MISTER]] Brodie Lee, the Exalted One of Wrestling/TheDarkOrder, are examples of performers who weren't really booked as monsters in their previous runs in WWE (as Wrestling/JackSwagger and Wrestling/LukeHarper respectively) where their imposing size didn't stand out so much against other large wrestlers. In the comparatively smaller AEW, Hager is an imposing, stoic thug who does Wrestling/ChrisJericho's bidding with brutal efficiency, leveraging his genuine undefeated MMA record. Mister Lee, on the other hand, is a cold, calculating, ''intelligent'' monster who directs the Dark Order with callous brutality, but is a sadistic, violent juggernaut when it comes time to get his own hands dirty, [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking justifying his position as the Exalted One]]. He ended inaugural TNT Champion [[Wrestling/CodyRhodes Cody's]] reign in less than five minutes of pure savagery, shrugging off Cody's opening flurry and ''[[SquashMatch destroying]]'' him without mercy.

* El Mascarado from the slasher film ''Wrestlemaniac'' is a luchador serial killer who 'unmasks' his victims by ripping their faces off.

* Wrestling/{{TNA}}'s The Monster Wrestling/{{Abyss}}, being equal parts an {{expy}} of [[Wrestling/MickFoley Mankind]] and Kane. His time spent not playing this role is considered something of a DorkAge.
