Don "The Rock" Muraco - dude got more muscular and striated throughout the 80's until he eventually got fat
Scott Norton
The 2nd picture of Tony Atlas -- he looks very Sergioesque And Ivan Putski had a very odd looking Physique - not what you wouldaspire to look like - Very strong though.
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.
Got muscular and striated.. until he got fat? Does that even make sense?
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.
What? Hacksaw Jim Duggan had 0 muscle?
The original:
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.
Tom competed in WSM also around that time.
Best "Athletic" bodybuilder look, ever, on a pro Wrestler:
And now he's paralyzed and wheelchair bound and about 100 pounds bodyweight due to a spinal chord injury.
MaGee couldn't work a lick in the ring, but he some crazy ariel type skills for a big man... One strong dude...
