Your favorite wrestler of all time.

[catracho]

I can't believe there are that many morons on here who actually not only watch this pathetic nonsense, but they also love it. You are some dumb motherfuckers.

It's "entertainment" isn't it?  If it makes me laugh, then it's doing what it's supposed to.  Or am I supposed to watch the Al Jazeera channel all day like you do?

[Straw Man]

Watching wrestling would cut into his bitching and moaning time.

This man needs to be in this thread. In his day, he was one of the coolest dudes walking the planet and was an influence to guys like Hogan and Savage.

When I was 16 I saw Tony Atlas on TV, and that was it.I knew right then and there I wanted to be a bodybuilder.Tony had legit 23 1/2 arms and benched pressed over 600lbs raw.He was massive in person.
I saw him back 1985 at Geaorge Eifermans gym with Hulk Hogan and the Road Warriors.They were all wresting at the Show boat hotel that night.Tony dwarfed them all.This is when Hulk Hogan clamied to have 24"  arms.He looked like a stick next to Tony Atlas.The Road Warriors didnt look quite as big standing next to Tony either.He was about 285lbs and was lean lol at the time.George Eiferman said.Thats the biggest muscular man I have ever seen.I suprsied he could even fit through the door.lol
Tony is the only Wrestler to win the Mr USA title 2 times.

Hogan's arms were a legit 22" at his biggest and in the early 1980's, Hogan was a big dude (320-330 pounds and 6'6" at the time). Today he's max 6'3".

[Alucard]

Never cared about Entertainment Wrestling that much, but i loved Ultimate Warrior's appearance and personality... In my opinion he had the freakiest physique ever in WWF/WWE, especially when he was Dingo Warrior and Freedom Fighters/Blade Runners with Sting... He was big and wide as a house with huge arms, only Tony Atlas was comparable...

Yeah Hulk was never anywhere close to lean by any definition but he was a real big guy.  Look how tall he is here at 14:00 next to Andre:

Or here at 2:00 as Jesse Ventura claims he's 6'8" haha

Andre was "billed" at 7'4" but he was probably close to a legit 7'0".  Here he is with 7'1" Wilt and some health-look tiny tit.  If you consider that Arnold was probably 6'0"+ here then Hulk was well over 6 feet tall.  I have no problem believing Hogan's arms were 20+ inches in his prime. 

[Hulkotron]

Who was the getbigger who used to derive the complex mathematical formulae showing that his arms were proportionally the biggest on getbig?  I think it was Matt C.

[BB]

He was on the US Olympic team (weightlifting) if I remember right.

First American to Clean and Jerk over #500, and also Clean and Press over #500. Also had a good snatch at #386, I believe.

His downfall was a lack of flexibility and mounting injury. Also the end of the Clean and Press after the 1972 Olympics was a blow to him, as that was where many American lifters would make up any lower standings in competition. He was also #3rd at the first World Strongest Man.

As to the original question? Randy Savage, and The Junkyard Dog.

[Hulkster]
