Title: Which Wrestler's Physique Does Yours Most Closely Resemble
Post by: Thin Lizzy on April 05, 2015, 10:37:05 AM
If I had to pick one, it would be Dean Ambrose. Similar height and structure.

The kind of 6'2-6'3" frame that can get up to about 230 with proper juicing.

right now id also have to say Golddust. Didnt train for over a year and ive got alot of health & personal issues to deal with. About 5 weeks ago i started going back to the gym just to lose some weight & try and improve my health, slow process but im doing what i can to improve.

The wrestling physique im aspiring to develop? Seth Rollins.

Power & Glory were a great team, great gimmick but sadly underused and disbanded. Their match at Survivor Series (89 / 90?) where they partnered Warlord & Martel as the Visionaries was a standout for them. Then they got buried in the Grand Finale Match of Survival (why not use this more!) so Hogan & Warrior could go over.

Listened to a shoot interview with Paul and he said he was offered a pro card after doing some bodybuilding contests.  He also said he had the best body in the wrestling hands down. He spoke with a lot of conviction,  it was interesting.

Paul is also the uncle of Evan Sent o panties.

??? Offered a pro card? Sounds to me that guy knows some schmoes with high end connection power. Also heard some odd shit about WWE and how a certain guy with a lot of pull is gay.

That's what he said, he was offered to become a pro bodybuilder. I don't know what that meant I thought he was lying but then I found out he's Evan Centipede's uncle so I thought it was plausible.  He didn't act like he cared for the business,  didn't like Vincent or HHH right now. Hated Jimmy Powers but LOVED Herc.

He also boxed, I think he said he won a golden gloves but I may be making that up.Despite not enjoying his Federation time he runs a wrestling school. Good interview,  I'll if I can find the link and post it in a new topic.

Same, i now have spinal arthritis & wrecked knees because i was reckless when i was younger. I was always strong, always fast, felt invincible. Now at 33 i am in constant pain and will remain to be. Hard lesson in life, maked me wish i had the power of hindsight.

still gotta win a show to be a pro, lol! I never saw much charisma from the guy. Just being "bodybuilderish" with no wrestling talent was  a mistake to ever have him go in those ranks.

Crowd never really gave much two shits about him either. That is the worst thing to have happen I think.

That photo doesn't do Paul Roma justice.  Met him several times and I could honestly argue that he possessed one of the Top Three bodies of all time in the wrestling world.  Dude was lazy as fuck though.  Bicep routine was always the same.  10 sets of 12 reps with a 60 lb fixed straight bar.  60lbs.  You see the size of those arms?  Dude could have easily gotten 25 reps every set, but always stopped at 12. 

He did box but said he didn't like getting hit in the face.  (duh)

Had the best dropkick I've ever seen.

If you want to feel better, listen to ANY of Magnum TA's interviews.

Roma had nothing to gain and would never go anywhere in wrestling, and he is now bitter.
Terry Allen was poised to be the next flagship champion of the NWA, he was making great money, his career was tragically cut short, and he has only POSITIVE things to say about the business and life!!

Magnum TA has the MOST reason to be bitter over how things panned out for him. Yet, he is immensely positive about his time in wrestling and life in general. That's class, and the mark of a real man and genuinely good human being.

Do you know anything about the hedge fun he apparently operates?
I'm curious how he got into that line and who he does it with.

I also read that he is a security supervisor for a satellite tower company.

Yes sir, according to Nikita Koloff and a few others who knew him well, he owns several business and is a multi-millionaire. He also works for a security company on the side which he partially owns too.
Love his feuds with Tully Blanchard back in 1985-1986.

The Lex in that vid is my all time favorite wrestling physique, by far. The Warlord was massive, but, he had a lumbering, unathletic style, as did Warrior, who had an uncoordinated way about him.

A young Lex Luger really was the Total Package from an athletic physique standpoint, big, strong, fast,
and agile. Not a great worker, but, with his look, he just had to be decent.

One of my favorite physiques was always the early-late 80's Ricky Steamboat. Ricky has admitted to using steroids, but photos and footage from his competition bodybuilding days are very impressive - especially when you consider he was eating only 60g of carbs/day, benching 405, and wrestling Flair in 1-hour Broadway's several times per week!

Gas, or no gas, that's damn respectable, and even following everything Steamers did to the "T," not too many guys could pull that off.


These days, I aspire to more of a Lance Storm-level physique.
While not gigantic by the standards of his time, Lance always carried a good bit of muscle. Next to a Scott Steiner, nothing special - but, next to an average person, very respectable.

He's another one who wasn't enormous, but his outstanding definition set him apart. Even more impressive is that he maintained that conditioning for most of the year on the company schedule.

I've read and heard from several sources that Rude liked GHB because he was one who subscribed to the belief that it improved sleep and facilitated hGH release.

I've read and heard from several sources that Rude liked GHB because he was one who subscribed to the belief that it improved sleep and facilitated hGH release.
Yes, he liked HGB and he stacked primobolin with parabolin (the original french steroid Trembolone) plus he ate clean and worked out steadily. Only thing he did was smoke cigarettes. Apparaently he would light up in the gorilla position till his music hit, then butt out the cigarette and head to the ring.

I prefer the leaner looks over fat and water bulk.   Evan Karagas (sp?) from the dancing group in WCW had a nice look to him.

Warlord and Davey Boy Smith had a bloated CSWOL (lolololol) look to them.  Nothing impressive about something that relies more on 6000 or whatever calories a day to have "size".

Luger and Warrior got that burned out stringy to them.

Now Rick Steiner back in his UWF days had a decent build.  Look at him back then and you can see he clearly quit the juice (or lowered it) when he started up with WCW. 

Jim Powers had a nice build as well.  Good size and structure.    Even Buff Bagwell started out with a really good foundation.  Had a great back.

I could never get past Rude's chicken legs. Steamboat had a solid physique, in his prime, but it lacked a certain ruggedness.

My guy from that era:

For Getbig, this is the greatest wrestling sketch, ever. Orndorff, in a gym, ragging on fat, out of shape people.

I remember it being good. Watching it, again, it's fuckin' GREAT. From about the 3:30 mark, when he starts training the fat woman, is genius.

Austin says Rude never "had" legs & used to bust Steve's balls for always training his when they were on the road together - Austin was known for very decent leg development back then. He said Rick would always tell him, "Fucksake, Steve...This is an UPPER BODY business!"

Rude always had amazing abs; they were cut so damn deep!

Orndorff had an amazing build until he damaged the nerves in his arm, which atrophied terribly and stayed that way the rest of his career.

Dynamite Kid insists that Vince made Paul go out and continue the "Wonderful" gimmick with the posing, etc. for his own amusement.

Rude was a guest on the Howard Stern show, when Howard was on regular radio. After Rude left, the co host, Robin Quivers couldn't stop talking about good looking and
well built he was.

This is a great look. Good size, without being an over the top steroid monster, and it's athletic. He looks like he can run a few miles.

I also liked Rick Rude's second phase when he challenged Warrior in 1990 for the World Title. He put on a bit of size whilst still maintaining that ripped streamlined look.
