9. Haystacks Calhoun

<p>

Not all of the strongest men are chiselled bodybuilders. Haystacks Calhoun brought muscle earned by working on his family's farm to the wrestling ring.

Though he started as a heel, he eventually became a fan favourite, wrestling primarily in the southwest and Texas territories. One of the highest drawing talents of the 1950s and 60s, Calhoun wrestled many years and captured the tag team titles of various promotions with many different partners.

Calhoun passed away at age 55 due to complications from diabetes, but will always be remembered as one of the first best super heavyweights.
