The 24" pythons! Hulkster definitely made me pick up my first weight and I've been training ever since.

I used to pimp a lunch box just like this when I was a kid.

These guys are my all time two favorites. "Everyday is a picnic." As a teenager I had an Executive Consultant. His name is Ted Sharkoph. He was my dishwasher at the restaurant I was the Chef at. We would imitate these guys all night long. We used to have some really great times. Still to this day I do the Perfect pen flip and slap my gum away when I spit it out. I don't think I'll ever grow up?

I realize Flair is a legend, but man, I miss Mr. Perfect.

I only watched Flair when he joined the WWF. I haven't seen too many of his interviews before that. But this one is my favorite interview with him. I loved his calmness and confidence. Right when it ended my friend called me all freaking out saying did you just see that?! He always recorded every wrestling show and we watched "the interview" like a 1000 times. Life changing. "For every cloud, there's a silver lining."

One of the best athletes to ever step into a ring IMO

HHH? Go figure? No offense my man. But the way I see it? The only way he got to the top is by riding other people's coat tails. Where would he be without Shawn? But then again? Where would wrestling be without Shawn? Then HHH hit the lottery with Steph. Love HHH. Really love him. But come on now. How does this guy influence your life?

I read his book and learned a couple things from him that way.  But mainly it was his physique that inspired me to start training.   Sure his political moves may be controversial to some but he go the job done and is able to provide for him and his family.  Not sure if I wouldn't do the same. 

Lance Storm would be a very close second if not tied for 1st.

Right on my man. He did influence my training as well. Looking good these days as well. I wonder why these Wrestlers never put out training videos? Would have loved to watch Hogan train.

Ultimate Warrior had some training videos for sale through his website a while back.
I’ve not seen them personally, but while he’s a lot smaller now, he’s still in excellent shape and conditioning.

Scott Steiner probably could have made a lot of money selling training DVD’s.

They all could have. Especially Luger, Hogan, and Warrior. I used to watch the WBF just to see Lex Luger. Can you imagine a video of a Prime Hogan training for his match at Wrestlemania III?! It would have been awesome! You know with the WBF thing. Why didn't Vince ever do this? I mean even now? A training series like BFTO. Show every Superstar training one body part. Throw a Diva or two in there as well. I'd buy it. Imagine watching Kane and Big Show getting it on?! How about Mark Henry on Shoulders, Cena on Arms, Batista on chest, Melina on abs and glutes. It would be very motivational to alot of people.

Concur.
If "The Least Electrifying Man In Sports" Jay Cutler can sell bb dvd's, you know very well that fans would pay $$ to see Cena, Batista, Sean Waltman, etc.

The Muscle & Fitness with Vince in 2006 was well received.


You also bring up an excellent point:
It’s hard to imagine why McMahon hasn’t done this, but is inducting Koko B. Ware into the HOF.

Until the old man figures this out and/or needs the money...

Sean Waltman? Where did that one come from? I don't even wanna watch that guy wrestle.  Lets see the Big Show on the flat bench. He probably woundn't even fit on the thing?! Could you imagine how strong Kane must be? I know it's way to late. But imagine the Rabid Wolverine in the gym. That guy was Mr. Intensity!

Well, it took over three weeks, but I'd given up that anyone would catch that.
Congrats.

I also heard that Benoit used an interesting variation of lat pull-downs for strengthening the neck.
Advisable to use caution with that one.

No one influenced me more than MANTAUR.

The half man half beast.

He made me turn myself into a beast
