* Current United States champion Wrestling/{{Rusev}} may border on it, but so far he's been billed as an indestructible fighting machine who has so far defeated everyone in his path, with only [[Wrestling/JohnCena one person]] unofficially giving him his first real defeat since his debut.

* El Mascarado from the slasher film ''Wrestlemaniac.''

* "The American Tragedy" Zack Monstar was start out as an {{expy}} to Jason from ''Friday The Thirteenth" movies before find his own as the "human horror show" in Nova Pro.

[[folder:Fiction Examples]]

* Parodied in the ''[[WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory Justice Friends]]'' episode "Rasslor," a WholePlotReference to [[Creator/MarvelComics Marvel Two-In-One Annual #7]]. The title character, an unbeatable alien pro wrestler (voiced by Wrestling/RandySavage) comes to Earth to challenge its greatest heroes for the fate of the world. He clobbers the Justice Friends until only Monkey is left. Despite being repeatedly pounded into the ground, Monkey [[{{Determinator}} refuses to give up]]. His display of fortitude moves Rasslor to spare the Earth for producing an [[WorthyOpponent opponent whose spirit could not be broken]].

* KennyVsSpenny: In the episode "Who's the Best Pro Wrestler," Spenny becomes "The Nice Guy", and Kenny becomes "Yarp Yarp," an uncontrollable monster from an experiment gone wrong.

* In the first ''Film/SpiderMan'' movie, Bonesaw [=McGraw=] embodied this during his brief moment on screen. He was kicking the crap out of an entire gauntlet of wrestlers to the point where one had to be carried out on a stretcher. Even though Peter was a superhuman, he was still nervous when he got into the ring. Of course, his demeanor changed once he realized he could beat Bonesaw.

* Wrestling/BruiserBrody made a career of being a monster heel, and was one of the most feared men in the ring back in the day -- so much so, in fact, that he was killed for it.
** That's debatable. There are two common theories floating around as to why José Gonzalez killed Brody. One is that Gonzalez's daughter supposedly drowned in the swimming pool while on a visit to Brody's familys house. Another is that Brody and Gonzalez were going to have a match together once, but Brody didn't want to do it because he tought Gonzalez was to small, wich 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 asparins because he wanted to get a good bloodflow 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.

The term "monster {{heel}}" is often used to describe this kind of wrestler, however, since monster gimmicks are usually given to talented athletes it is not unknown for them to take the {{face}} role. Depending on how abnormal the gimmick is supposed to be the face examples may overlap with MonsterKnight.

* [[Wrestling/DavidHeath Gangrel]] and Rio Storm are two more wrestling vampires and they are known for teaming up on occasion. Rio Storm is the more monstrous of the two.

* The first ever World Wrestling League Heavy Weight Champion, Monster Pain, as his manager Mistress Glenda Lee would tell you in so many words if his name and actions in the ring failed to get the point across.

->[[http://www.cagematch.net/?id=93&nr=597 "I am the reaper of wayward souls,]] I am the world heavyweight champion and this, this is the holy grail of everyone who steps foot in this ring. And that is why it was so important that I possess it, because every wayward soul would stray from crossing the path of The Undertaker! But now, consumed by the lust of fortune and fame, the recognition that this championship brings will lead them down a road for which they will be sorry they ever embarked. Because that road ends in my yard. For them it will be a graveyard."
