Tony Altas is a friend of mine.Tonys birth Name is Anthony White, his birth day is April 23, he is 54 years old.I know this because I try to call him every year on his birthday.Tony is a really really nice guy.He was the reason I started bodybuilding.After seeing him on TV, I alaways wanted to be built like him.Anyways I met him about 5 years ago at a convention and we keep in contact 3-4 times a year.Tony is a great guy, and really down to earth.He had the best body of any wrestler period.He won the Mr USA title twice, and several other bodybuilding contests.Tony in his prime had a 60" chest a 30" waist, and 23 1/2" arms, and bench pressed 659lbs.The only anabolics he ever took was testosterone and d-ball tabs.Imagine if he had the crap they have today, beack then.HE told me when he won the Mr USA, the first time, he only prepaired for the show for only 4 weeks.Ivan Putski the Polish power was getting ready for the show, and talked Tony into doing the show with him.So tony did the show, and won.
Tony did not, and still doesnt not like Rocky Johnson.He told me Rocky Johnson is a snake, He said, " Rocky Johnson "wouldnt have anything to do with anybody that was African American, he only had white friends and would only date white girls.He said that Rocky, and 3 other wrestlers were in Texas getting ready for a match.Rocky rented a car, and dropped Tony and the 3 other wrestlers off at the hotel rooms, and had agreed to pick them up that night for the matchs.Rocky picked up the 3 other wrestlers that were white, but didnt pick up Tony Altas.
Tony told me there was a time were Rick Martel left a car at Rocky Johnsons house, while he went home to Canada for the summer.Rocky Johnsonm sold Rick Martels car to another wrestler.Rick came back looking for his car and Rocky told him he didnt know it was.When Rick Martel found out Rocky sold his car, Rocky never did give Rick Martel the money he sold his car for.
Tony just signed with the WWE, again, but up until then he had his own wrestling organization Atlas championship Wrestling and is a personal trainer at Fitness World.He lives up in Maine and still loooks really good for being 54 years old.
There was never a wrestler who ever was as muscular, or looked as good as Tony Atlas
