He was always big, but I've never seen him dieted down before.

Impressive.

Never had any idea about this. Perhaps his change in physique during his initial run was partly due to the strict drug policy in the WWF around 1993 following the steroid scandal?

Chief Jay Strongbow is my favorite example: he wasn't even Native American...he was the Italian Joe Scarpa!!

I believe Kirchner also had a fairly decent run as Leatherface, or some silly gimmick. I don't remember if it was in the Fed, or some Japanese promotion. Unfortunately, he was making good money during the cocaine years, and as such, he fell victim like so many others.

I believe that is correct. Piper has told some funny stories about the brothers. It sounds like they were both a lot of fun.
