by CurtisW1908 - February 8th 2012 @ 9:04am
They are the hired guns of their generation. Giants amongst men better known for their intimidating physiques than their skill or finesse. Feared by their opponents, these guys are the real deal. There are two rules when it comes to these hitmen. Don’t run at them and stay the hell out of their way! 10: [...]
