Stan Hansen had to be one of the Stiffest wrestlers out there due to his poor eyesight, even had Vader's eye pop out of his socket during a match

Surprised JBL hasn't been mentioned yet. Always thought from watching his matches that working with him would be a helluva pain. Then when all the news broke surrounding Mauro and Layfields' eventual departure, I remember reading how he felt it was his duty (supposedly with Vince's approval) to keep alive the old-school mentality of making new guys "earn their keep" through working stiff and backstage hazing.

alot of people on here are saying Asuka and Shinsuke are but when you come from NJPW its a different world there. there striking and wrestling is more intense then the crap you see on wwe. thats the difference in entertainment and wrestling. Even AJ and balor said when they were there it was a different ball game then when they wrestle in the states.

I would have loved to see how things would have been with guys like Sheamus or Cesaro. Anyway i'd add Regal to the "stiff guys list" too, not in a "bullying way" but more as an english strong style of wrestling.

Dozens of wrestlers have gone on record in saying that Sheamus works very stiff. None of them seem to begrudge him for it, and I've heard more than a handful say he's totally cool if you stiff him back. Lesnar is an interesting case, because he's definitely stiffed a few guys. But, several people (most recently AJ Styles) have said that he's in such incredible control of his body, that it makes him a dream to work with. It seems to be that if Brock likes and respects you, working with him looks incredibly rough, but is actually very easy. Yeah, Goldust wrote about it in his autobiography back in early ECW working with Sheamus.
