  I remember when the Road Warriors came to town and worked out at the gym I belonged to. They were fucking crazy and strong as hell. They hung out and allowed a lot of people to take pics with them as well. I miss being younger and thinking wrestling was fun to watch.

warlord was a bmf.  animal was a f'n beast as well.  i don't think anyone utilized that twisting powerslam with as much authority as he.

Cool. All we got were the Bushwhackers. And let me tell you, they were, in person, just like on tv. I think there was even a signed pic on the wall for a while.

 I was flipping channels the other night and came across wrestling. I watched it for a few minutes...its just not the same; however, the chicks are pretty hot. I get more enjoyment watching my sons beat the hell out of one another...very entertaining.

Me too.

I remember seeing a pic in an old wrestling mag of Animal working out.  In the pic, you could clearly see there was 1 more 45lb plate on one side of the bar than the other.  We chalked it up to him probably wanting to give that side of his chest more work.....hahaha we were kids.

All four were monsters, no doubt.  I remember the Warriors as heels on georgia wrestling......that was their best days.

You are out of your mind if you think these guys are that weak, or would even swallow their dignity by using fake plates. I dont believe these are even the time of men to do such a thing. People forget these guys are huge men, not 5'8" midgets with 100lbs of muscle added to their puny frames like most of the pros. They have been doing nothing but powertraining and running all year round cycles for years and would destroy most if not any pro in the strength department for obvious reasons. The big man almost always beats the little man in pushing heavy weights. Cmon Bob, you should know that kind of thing if you've been studying bodybuilding long enough... Use your head!   ;)

Both of the Road Warriors could bench well into the 500's.

I believe Hawk did close to 580 in a legit competition in the 80's.

Hey Keith. I have a video of the Over the top tornament with you in it. Has parts of two of your matches in it. One tough match with Cleve Dean where you slip then another one where you get smashed by that Norton guy.

Also have a vid with four of your matches in the Anaheim qualifier (where you won all matches). Massive shoulder/tricep press :D

Brzenk is just a freak of nature winning that tournament against all those monsters at the age he was there. What was he 200 lbs lol
