PROTECTORS | Wrestling's Greatest Bodyguards
Wrestlers often like to present themselves as tough guys, people who don’t need help from anyone when it comes to getting the job done. But then, as The Beatles would have told you, it’s always easier to get by with a little help from your friends. So, when someone who’s stepping into the squared circle needs back up then, one of the easiest ways to do this is by finding a bodyguard. But who are the best bodyguards of all? Well, that’s exactly what we’re going to be looking at today. So, join us as we take a deep dive into Protectors: Wrestling’s Greatest Bodyguards.

For me, Chyna is the greatest bodyguard of all time because she helped redefine the term especially for women, most ladies back in the day were always meant to stand there, look pretty and support their guy but Chyna didn't just do that, she was a true force of nature who was more than willing to take one for the team. Her jaw dropping physique combined with her presence made her very unique. She not only helped put Triple H on the map as a main event wrestler but also played a big role in the success of DX. Chyna was the whole package and in my opinion, she was the Xena Warrior Princess of wrestling, a very beautiful lady who could kick ass and be a team player at the same time

Chyna would be the main one who comes to mind when you think of bodyguards in wrestling. Mostly because she was the first female bodyguard. And she made a huge impact.

When I hear the word "Bodyguard" used in wrestling, there is only one person I think of right away and he wasn't even on this list. He was the bodyguard of so many different people on screen. Everywhere from WCW to Japan and even WWE. And that man's name is CURTIS HUGHES

I loved Bodyguard Sanga on NXT 2.0 this year. He and Waller had such a great pair going...
Chyna and nicole bass are my favorite bodyguards
I think Virgil had the best look he looked like a straight up mugger or an escape con.
The way you make this kind of videos is just pure 🔥🔥🔥 the story telling, the arrangement, just pure gold my friend! 🔥🔥 More powers to you!
Somehow you left out Big Bubba Rogers (Ray Traylor) as bodyguard for Jim Cornette in WCW before he went to WWF and became the Big Bossman, and you missed Virgil, the bodyguard of Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase. Don't forget about Cowboy Bob Orton Jr. who was the bodyguard for both Roddy Piper and then Adrian Adonis.
The transitions on these videos from topic to topic are clever and underrated.
I was trained by Chris Jericho's bodyguard, Mr. Hughes. His only claim to fame is that he stole the Undertaker's urn once. He wasn't a very good trainer and was later replaced by A.R. Fox.

You missed Cowboy Bob Ornton and Virgil.
Thank you much for your content. Very much appreciated
Great job yet again. How about 80’s managers
No Virgil? He played the bodyguard character longer than anyone in the list
The Godwinns were 2 time tag team champions they actually beat The Body Donas for their first titles and after turning heel they beat The Headbangers for their second run with the titles . They were beaten by The Legion of Doom who put their careers on the line .
Not sure if this list was only meant for the WWE but Meng/Haku was a pretty sick bodyguard for Col Rob parker and his Stud stable.
If I where a WWE superstar I would have Chyna and the APA as my bodyguards that's for sure.
For the unforgivable sin of forgetting the original bodyguard archetype of the WWF, I hereby sentence you to create a full career documentary on Virgil.

Kevin Nash got noticed when he was Vinny Vegas not OZ
my top 3 are Chyna diesel and said..not so much in that order
I can't wait to see the wwe in 2003 a year in review.
It’s no wonder Shawn Michaels had back trouble….. he took a lot power bombs!
if need a bodyguard Kevin Nash would be frist guy
Ahhh,where's Big Bubba Rogers?
Andy, i need to recommend you add a 5 second music intro. I always have to restart your vids becauase the preview pushes it forward a couple seconds and you have already started talking...
I always wait for the “hell”
No Virgil? :O
Diesel better be number one
Bodyguards will always turn on you!
I love slapnuts. He the goat. The clip you showed was diesel dealing with JJ, with 1 punch. Why you have to do him so dirty?
You missed the problem solver.... Tyson Tomko
What about Ralfus? Or is it Ralphus?
Shawn saw Diesel first as Vinnie Vegas. Come on get the facts straight.
Mr Hughes? Wardlow? RAPLHUS?!
Wrestlers having bodyguards was always a stupid idea
Whoa what about…..RALPHUS
Who’s the woman at 12:28 is that sable?
No Virgil and Ted Dibiase?
The last line : not against brock Lesnar 😂😂
Why blur out some of the clips?
When I was a kid, Sid was the SCARIEST human being in the WORLD!!!
My first thought of a wrestling body guard is Big Bubba Roger's and Jim Cornette.
Solo sikoa❤

No, that would be Virgil. Spent years doing hardly anything, maybe the occasional match, yet mainly stood at ringside for Ted DiBiase. Due to the fact that Vince wanted DiBiase to live the gimmick, DiBiase went around in limos and had the most expensive clothes. And guess what? Virgil shared in those things, because Vince wanted people to believe that DiBiase really was that character, really had Virgil as his bodyguard. Virgil derived more from less.
