YOU WILL RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH!!!!
When it comes to talking about wrestlers and what attributes they bring, one of the msot often mentioned assets is "the look". A huge part of "the look" has to do with how a wrestler is built and whether or not his look/build suits the kind of character he's portraying.
It can be difficult to pick who has the best build in wrestling as wrestling is full of guys tho are in great physical shape. From a wrestling standpoint, I'd probably give the nod to guys like Bobby Roode, Randy Orton and Dolph Ziggler. All three guys are in great, athletic shape and they have a very athletic look about them. Roode is a big guy, but he doesn't look too big. His bearing and overall body type reminds me a lot of Triple H if Triple H was about 30 pounds lighter. Orton has this lanky, but muscular slender build that also makes him look athletic. In all honesty, there is a serpent like quality in Orton's build. He's built long and lean, someone that looks like he can move & strike quickly just as a snake does. Ziggler kinda comes off as sort of the ideal, all American build. He's very athletic, has a lot of definition and isn't "too big". His build fits in perfectly with the kind of vain, arrogant model type/beach boy show off that can be attributed to his character.
I also think there's another way to look at who has the ideal build. It's no secret that the vast majority of people either aren't or can't be built like these guys. In the real world, LOTS of people just don't have the time, energy or even desire to devote so much time to physical fitness. However, there are some guys in pro wrestling that are in great shape and can be something of a realistic role model to people. There are guys you can look at and say "with a little work, I can look like that guy". Guys that spring to mind in that light are CM Punk, Daniel Bryan & AJ Styles. All three of these guys are in great shape, but they don't look like they spend a hundred hours a week in the gym. Punk looks more "normal" than damn near anybody. He's in good shape, but he's certainly not a gym rat. I believe Triple H referred to Punk's "skinny, fat ass" as a means of pointing out a lack of muscle tone. Punk looks more like a "regular guy", like someone who does work out and take care of himself but doesn't go nuts. He looks like someone who doesn't fret over sitting down and having a few slices of pizza or a few burgers off the grill while guzzling down a couple of Pepsis at a family cookout every now and then. Kinda the same with Daniel Bryan & AJ Styles. Both guys are built well and have a good amount of muscle tone, but they don't look like guys who obsess over measuring & eating everything in just the right proportion, drinking half a dozen protein shakes every day, going to the gym for 4 hours every single day, etc. In some ways, if you think about it, these three guys are kind of "every day men" that can be kinda inspiring to regular people tryin' to shed a few pounds.
