Best physique in wrestling History

[dtroppe]

So who do you think has had the best physique in wrestling.

I know this is hard, as there have been a lot of wrestlers in great shape, but who really stands out as the best of the best. I think the following 3 guys are at the top of the list.

John Morrison
Ultimate Warrior
Rick Rude

Guys like Cena, Batista and HHH could easily be there too, but looking back over the years, those 3 guys see to have taken being in top physical shape to a new level.

What do you think?

Scott Steiner. Not an original pick as he's the most obvious name when it comes to this topic but back in his peak, those pythons were like dayyyyyuuuummmmmm. I'll probably go with Morrison too but just for his 6 packs only, they stick so far out like fuckin' every show. Pretty impressive training regime he must have.

1. i feel really uncomfortable answering this question about how dudes look

2. i wanna say kelly kelly but thats a different topic

3. there is a huge differance between guys list morrison/rude and guys like lesnar/goldberg/HHH.

If your talking normal sized guys of today, morrison is on the list. also evan bourne

Scott Steiners "impressive training regime" comes from a needle, IMO. but you wanna talk super swole guys, Mason Ryan is built like a battle tank.

I'd have to go with a young Rick Rude. Simply ripped to shreds. I've been stepping up my regimens lately and I think that if I was half as cut as he was, I'd be performing out of my skin.

A close second would have to be John Cena for myself. He's a stocky guy and is short so he's compact. Solid overall look. Nothing SOOOO outrageous, but in good shape. Scott Steiner looks like John Cena...... on steroids. Lol.

Honorable mention:
John Morrison
Ultimate Warrior
Buff Bagwell
Lex Luger

There have been alot of jacked up guys in the sport over the years. Did it start with Superstar Billy Graham? Hulk Hogan? Big guys that took their "vitamins" to fit into the industry and ensure their careers were at the top of the food chain.

Ultimate Warrior, Lex Luger, Rick Rude, Rick Steamboat, Jimmy Snuka, Scott Steiner, Goldberg, Batista, Bobby Lashley were all very impressive. Some could wrestle some couldn't but could rely on their phsyique to gain them popularity.

I would have to say Warrior only because he couldn't wrestle, but due to his gimmick and his body was one of the biggest stars ever...

Superstar Billy Graham. I'd say his was the best because he was the first Mega juice filled superstar. He was the basis that Vince Jnr went for. Hogan took the needle from him and ran with it, as people like Warrior/Batista/Luger/Steiner/Cena and their ilk have.

Graham because he was the first that made you think "fuck me, that bloke is fucking huge"

I'm gonna just exclude anyone whos not actively wrestling right now

Doing it in 2 categories because its one thing to be Ezekiel and another thing to be Morrisson

In terms of being cut/slim
1.John Morrisson (Of course)
2.Evan Bourne
3.Randy Orton

In terms of being a beast who appears to be on roids >_>
1.Ezekiel Jackson
2.Mason Ryan
3.John Cena

Best Female wrestler physique I'd have to give to the Bella twins

Robert Roode.

He looks absolutely buff, yet not so over the top that you think hes on roids.

 

[minimoto]

Shelton Benjamin

 

[bigandpissed]

uh ROB FUCKING TERRY. he is an absolute monster. his veins could kick someones ass

 

[minimoto]

kelly kelly has bigger legs than Rob Terry.

 

[Defekt]

I would go with John Morrison. Warrior and Steiner were bigger, but John Morrison has more muscle definition then maybe anyone else on the planet. He's also one of the most agile guys in wrestling. Quite a combination.

 

[Whatsinaname696]

Has to be Luger, his name said it all "The Total Package", best shape I've ever seen a wrestler in, and you could go with big or lean or cut to define best physique, but for all around best have to go with Lex.

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

There are so many you could say here, Morrison, Warrior, Cena, Steiner, Lashley, Benjamin etc.

But the one that sticks out for me is Triple H from back in the early 2000s, he was jacked BEYOND BELIEF. The size of the guys pecs were unreal. He was clearly on the juice at this point, but I truly believe that getting that big is one of the reasons why Hunter made it to the top of the card when he did. Look at him in the early days of DX, when he was nowhere near that size.

Getting so jacked up got him to the main event, and there he stayed as he proved to be The Game. But yeah, clearly overdosing on the steroids Mr Levesque. On his return in 2002 after injury his body was out of this world.

I guess it would depend upon your definition of "best". You've got lots of guys throughout wrestling that've been extremely well built, that's par for the course these days especially.

When I think about the best physique in wrestling history, I guess I just sorta look at who has the total package. We're talking size, symetry, definition and just how important the physique was to the guy's career. As much as I'm not a fan of the guy from a wrestling stand point, I have to give it to Lex Luger.

Luger, in my opinion, was a mediocre wrestler but his look was the stuff that dreams are made of. When he hit the scene in the mid 80s, the bodybuilder sort of look still wasn't very common. Luger was a legit 6'5" and 265-275 lbs at the peak of his career. He was very big, but he wasn't "too big". He never looked bulky or muscle bound by any degree. He wasn't just built really well in one or two areas like some guys, the man was downright chiseled all over and he carried it all well on a big, broad frame. Whenever he walked or even made any sort of casual movement, you could clearly see every muscle working smoothly beneath his skin. To top it off, the man didn't look like a freak. He was taking steriods out the ass of course, but the man didn't look like a freak.

A close runner up in my view was Ravishing Rick Rude. He didn't look as big as Lex Luger did, he had more of a slender and somewhat lanky frame. But the guy was cut, arguably the greatest abs in the history of the business. Like Luger, Rude didn't look like a muscle bound roid freak, even though he was on them, and had great symetry and overall definition.
