was watching the new ecw unreleased 2 dvd and tommy dreamer said that he worked out with rick steiner when the steiners did their brief ecw run and rick used 315 for 10 reps in the press behind the neck. dreamer was impressed . dreamer said scottie was a prick even then and blew off the workout invite at dreamer's gym. saw big e langston using 405 for reps in the close grip barbell bench press in a video from muscle beach.

I have posted before how Larry Zbysko absolutely stunned me with how strong (and ugly) he was in real life.

Ken Patera
Mark Henry
I heard that Nikita Koloff was also incredibly strong.

Tony Atlas

Tony Atlas
I still remember his "feats of strength" contests against Ken Patera in Mid-Atlantic.

It depends on how you want to classify it "Strong men who also wrestled" or "Wrestlers who were strong"
Bill Kazmaier and Ted Arcidi wrestled for a bit so they would be WAY up there.
I heard that Haku once broke a pair of handcuffs without tools.

From what I hear, despite the ridicule the angle may have inspired, those Persian clubs that the Iron Sheik used to lift were no joke.

LMFAO!!!

Big E apparently benched 600 raw in Cena's gym, then you obviously have the likes of Kane who despite his size was a freak on the bench. I think we had a thread a good while back detailing wrestlers that were just plain strong, another powerhouse was Volkoff. I remember him pressing Hogan like he was nothing

don leo jonathen not noted for being especially strong was said to be able to lift up one side of the ring.read it in somebodies book. of course the big slow is strong but did he ever apply himself to any strength feat.

Haku also once reached into a guy's mouth and broke off his teeth.

After setting up many a rings, I'm calling bullshit. Gotta be a work - even if it was some kind of half-assed home made ring.

That wouldn't surprise me a bit and I'm sure he is another one of those guys you wouldn't want to mess with in a dark alley back in the day.

A few guys have come out and said he was the toughest wrestler there was. Period.
Supposedly bit some guys nose off in an airport and of course the classic story about 6 or so cops having trouble putting him down even after they maced him.

i set up some rings too, but never really tried to lift them. that does seem that it would be too heavy.how much do you think the four corner poles way individually? will try to find the book where i read it....... ??? ??? ??? ???

I wouldn't mess with him now...much less back in his prime. Terrific amateur background.

not as in powerlifting numbers, but some of the things he did in the ring in his prime were ridiculous.

for his height and weight, Warrior was right up there.

I feel bad for Luger. Nothing Vince did could get him over.

WWF at that time was flat out awful from top to bottom. Angles were just pitiful. And Luger coming in behind UW didnt help.

Yes. And, not only did the product suck, but Vince had it in his head that he could "manufacture" champions. He tried it with Sid, Luger, and Nash...nothing worked. An era had ended, and fans demanded more than just big guys.

I heard that Glen Jacobs (Kane) was one of the strongest guys ever in the gym... Apparently he was doing ridiculous reps on the bench... Well over 400+ when people were just randomly goofing around.
This is all rumor of course... Just something I heard in passing.

What about Dusty?

What about Dusty?
Or Austin Idol ??

Many years ago, my buddy saw the Warlord train. This was in a hardcore (steroid-dealing) powerlifting gym in which 500+ lb. bench presses were seen with some regularity, and it was not easy to do something "special" by the standards. But, everybody stopped and watched in amazement while "Big Terry" trained.
I wish I could remember some of the numbers my buddy told me. I'll have to ask him sometime.

Are you trolling me?
;D

his flab content is strong so that must count for something ;D

Better than Hogan.

Im with ya man....Those ring frames even without the beams,padding etc. are no joke they're heavy as hell
