Question to go along with the physique talk:
When I was a kid, I thought a wrestler wasn’t any good unless he was over 250lbs. I think my only exception was Ricky The Dragon Steamboat. Did anybody else have a prejudice towards wrestlers similiar to this?
Rob Van Dam. Great wheels, strong but modest upper body and greatly athletic physique.
Also Brock Lesnar, although I somehow like his physique more now that he’s in the UFC.
Danish wrestler

Top 5 wrestling bodies would be
2.Kane - Back in early 2000 he was massive and cut.He looks like shit now but back then he was very impressive at 6’11 300 pounds +
3.Batista - 6’3 280 give or take 10 pounds.best shoulders on a wrestler ive seen.crazy veins to boot.
4.Chris Materpiece Masters - 6’4 and a solid 270.One of the best body’s ever to enter a wrestling ring.Looked like a legit body builder.
Some other great physiques to mention. Randy orton,HHH,Aj styles,Razor ramon,Mr perfect,Warlord,crush,Zeus and finally cena[/quote]
Now this was a good list.
I’d move Batista up to number 2 and take Kane out completely though. My new #5 would have to be Ken Shamrock when he was in the WWF for 5 minutes.
No Ahmed Johnson on the list?
He even looks a little like Ronnie!

I’ve only seen the recent Kane, but did he ever have legs, particularly hams, whatsoever? Presently his stick legs – relative to his overall body size – are fairly comical, they’re so out of proportion and the change in size from legs to hips is so drastic. Except of course for how tall he is, they look like they belong on a 160 lb guy: a 160 lb guy without any particular hams.
I’m surprised by the knocks on Cena: I think he looks outstanding. Not many can do the victory pose and have the upper arms appear as wide as the head or virtually so. The forearms are also excellent.
How has this guy not been mentioned? Best physique in wrestling IMONH.

My pic: Scott Hall. I don’t even care about physique, he’s just my favorite wrestler.[/quote]
RAZOR RAMON chico! yea he was my fav.
i used to walk around with a toothpick in my mouth as an 8 year old and throw the tooth pick like he used to do.
and yeah i loved chris benoit’s physique… let’s not talk about him too much though.

No, this shit is funnier than Ronnie.
I had never heard of the guy until you posted this…but 305lbs at 6’2" with abs showing is no joke.
Other favorite wrestlers:
Bret “The Hitman” Hart
Lex Luger (SummerSlam against Yokozuna)
Rick “The Natural” (lol) Flair (Royal Rumble)
Jake “The Snake” Roberts
Randy Savage
Big Boss Man…

Ahh, I’m at work and youtube is blocked so I have no idea what you’re referring to, lol. But if you’re talking about Ahmed Johnson, he was definitely a large man.

They picked the worst vids they could find to make fun of the way he talks. Another interview I found shows he can speak just fine so I am not sure what to think of that.
I never followed wrestling much aside from those cartoons that used to come on when I was a little kid with Junk Yard Dog and Rowdy Roddy Piper.
Ahmed was someone you clearly did not want to piss off. It doesn’t look like he was afraid of “bulking up” either.
Here is the warrior, prebulk…

Little off topic, but Triple H is always at the bodybuilding shows. He actually has an interest in the sport, and if he weren’t making killing in wrestling, I imagine he’d be doing pretty well competing. Just speculation, though.
Vince McMahon was driving one day and saw this homeless guy sitting outside of a bar. He decided he’d give him a snake and call him a wrestler. That day, a legend was born.
I nominate the snake as wrestling’s worst physique.

Kane always wore tights so I never really noticed how big his legs were back in the old days.
Cena is really impressive in person in terms of definition and proportion but he isn’t a real mass monster compared to some of the other guys.
Chris Masters is an absolute monster in person.

LMFAO!
…Luger HAS to be top 5, and I don’t even think he was mentioned, shame.

Anyone remember when they tried to have their own bodybuilding competition and Luger was supposed to be in it but got in a car accident like the day before or something?
