When I was a teenager in the 80's, we had a Strongman/Powerlifter/Bodybuilder named Tom Magee who wrestled briefly here in Calgary with the local Stampede Wrestling promotion. He was just under 6'5 and about 275 pounds. He placed 2nd in the 1982 Worlds Strongest Man. (860lb squat, 573lb raw bench, 820lb raw deadlift). He had a unique ascending training style. Lighter weights were lifted at very slow speed. Medium weights in a medium speed. And heavy weights were lifted at a fast speed. This is how he trained. He wrestled briefly in WWE from '86 through '90, and retired from wrestling in '90. He was the freakiest human being I had ever seen. Davey Boy Smith was heavy in to the juice at the time, and he and Dynamite Kid left for the WWF a couple years prior to Tom arriving, and Tom made Davey Boy look small.

dude was REALLY strong at the 1982 Worlds Strongest Man competition. He got weaker and weaker in ever subsequent year when he went more for the bodybuilder look at the expense of his strength.

Chris Masters was pretty damn jacked when he first arrived.

The 2nd picture of Tony Atlas -- he looks very Sergioesque
And Ivan Putski had a very odd looking Physique - not what you would
aspire to look like - Very strong though.

Rocky Johnson (The Rock's father)
Trained with him to. Still looked great in his 60's

I've seen him in person many times back in the late 90s. Still kept a good amount of size in retirement.

Got muscular and striated.. until he got fat? Does that even make sense? ???

Rick Steiner - wHy didn't he bulk up like his brother did? Both were solid wrestlers but Scott did more flashy moves and was bigger than his brother. Rick seemed to be more conservative with his steroid use.

It does. He was big and strong in the 70's and through the mid 80's and then he got leaner and more striated in the late 80's and early 90's and then he just let himself go and got fat.

I saw all these guys in their heyday, when Stu Hart brought them here to Calgary with his Stampede Wrestling circuit. Some of the strongest guys ever, like Ken Patera, Bill Kazmaier, Tom Magee, etc. Even 'Strangler' Steve Disalvo.

There's a Musclebear channel on YouTube that has some pretty good Ted Arcidi wrestling footage.

Yeah, it's sad. I thought he would be one of the few who wouldn't end up a broken down wreck. I was wrong.

I appreciate all their muscles and sweat and grunts and power and stamina and charisma and strength, and fortitude and Jesus Christ this thread is gay.
-
Wow, I didn't realise (looking back) that there were so many really powerful and massively built wrestlers.
Rick Rude deserves a mention. Not massive but ripped and very well built.
I agree with the person who said Lex Luger is arguably the most aesthetic wrestler ever, from a bodybuilding perspective. The Total Package.
-
Out of today's Braun Strowman.
-
Rob Terry, the new generation's Scott Steiner and Ken Shamrock, legit badass.
-
Buff Bagwell
Robert "Jeep" Swenson
Ted Arcidi
Todd Champion

Lex had a really good side chest, could hit it almost like arnold. I think ultimate warrior may have slightly edged him out though overall.
Surprised he or goldberg havent made the thread yet

Goldberg was a 6'3" 290 pound beast. Strong as fuck, agile, athletic and he had monster traps, delts and a thick neck to boot.

arcidi was a beast benched over 700 lbs raw. l knew a guy who said ted was goofing around once and picked up a loaded coke machine and threw it down a flight of stairs, only because he could. :o :o :o :o

Yeah, maybe Warrior does edge out Lex a bit but also Warrior was a bodybuilder early on so that probably helped muscle-wise.
Goldberg was huge, might have even been natural (or I'm just being naive)... He's back in WWE now, interesting to see where that goes.
This is an interesting photo. The Dog Faced Gremlin was more built than Big Poppa Pump in the early days:

Davey Boy Smith went from this to this :o

Haha, he was great, they don't make em like they used to. So many of the wrestlers had a great gimmick and natural charisma back then. Today they are mostly weak copies

Legitly? You see, this is why I bad you on your illiteracy. You don't have a strong hold over the English language, even the basic ones. The word is either Legit, or Legitimately, NOT legitly.

I saw Goldberg at Tampa Airport around 2012. He was wearing shorts. His legs are pretty thin. Especially his calves.
-
Yea, noticed Alot of the built wrestlers have small in comparison legs, especially calves. He was well down in weight in 2012 from his wrestling days though

He actually got thicker (less detail though) in the 90's until his wrestling accident in Japan, which many believe led to his eventual death due to the pain killers he was on for the accident. Here he is a bit more beefed up than his 80's days.

I doubt he used painkillers just for his accident. In that era lots of guys abused the hell out of them just to cope with the nagging injuries from taking bumps and being on the road.

Chris Chavis (Tatanka) was impressive.
Also trained with him back in the day. He competed in other late 80' S in local S.FL. contests.
