Title: Who was he strongest wrestler? (not including kaz)
Post by: davidpaul on October 21, 2007, 03:24:12 PM
I would say it would be out of Ultimate Warrior and Goldberg,

Goldberg shoulder pressed big poppa pump like he was a rag doll, crazy.

Brock Lesnar did some pretty amazing stuff with the Big Show.

I would say he had to be close to the top.

undertaker has some superhuman strength

he was not human

he was dead and alive at the same time

white face

ghost face

he was pale as a ghost

he was not man

undead being

creature of the night

wrestlers do what others dont

what others cant

what others dont think is possible

they dont care for the bench

or squat

they measure strength in functional kick ass exercises

like picking up big men and smashing them in the floor

because of this

wrestlers will always be looked upon as LEGENDS

and gods walking the earth

That's how a bodyslam works... Notice Andre puts his arm on Hogans leg to give a push off during the slam.

Hogan has stated in the past that he could never have slammed him without assistance.

Yeah thats why he said it then, he was hating on WWE bro, saying its fake etc, the big slams in the 80s were fake,

You see Vince made a big deal, out of hogan slamming Andre, that was a big crowd puller, the blonde mustached Calafornian slamming the 500 pound french ogre

Hogan slammed him with ease no assistance, Its just Hogan hating on Vince,

You gotta read between the lines man.

Gym reports state that UT isn't really all that strong actually... That's just gym reports.

Mark Henry is obviously the strongest wrestler of all time as he won Olympic power lifting contests.

Bobby Lashley also won some Military lifting records I believe.

Tony Atlas was the strongest wrestler period!!! Back in 1985 in george Eifermans gym I witnessed him bench 600 raw for almost a double. This is back when Tony Atlas and the Road Warrors,aswell as Hulk Hogan all belonged to the AWA, smaller wrsting association.Atlas, Hogan and the the Road warrors were all in the gym at the same time. Atlas literaly dwarfed Hogan and the Road Warrors in size and strength. This is back when Hulk hogan started claiming he had 24" pythons, lol.I asked Atlas if he though Hogans arms were 24" and he laughed at me. He said why dont you ask him. So I went up to Hulk Hogan and asked if I could measure his arm, lol, and he said, not right now I am busy, lol .Atlas, said I told you he would let you measure his arm, lol. At the time Tony Atlas had 23 1/2 and I beleive it, he made Hulk ogan look like a stick, lol .The Road warrors were pretty strong aswell, Animal could rep with 500 lbs on the bench , and Hawk was almost as strong.The Road Warriors & Tony Atlas trained realy heavy, very intensly. They would tear up the gym, max out all the machines, and bend bars,  Hulk Hogan on the other hand wasnt very strong at all & trained very carefree. I suprised if he even break a sweat.

I also seen Tony Atlas pick up that fat ass 500 lb wrestler Jerry Blackwell,  pick him up over his head a full press, and hold him there for a few seconds, then throw him across the ring. That was an impressive feat. I used to watch the old AWA wresting in Vegas, because they gave george Eiferman gym members free tickets all the time. I was just 18 and started lifting so it was kind of kool, I got to train with the Road Warriors, Tony ATLAS, Ken Patera, Jessie Ventura, just to name a few

When and were did Don Muracco give a show a strength?  I realize he wasn't always this doughy... but a strong man?  Where?  When?

Well how about in the gym and this was a bit after he was huge in the WWF.  He did 120 lb DB press pretty easy for reps.  He did 315 front presses easy as hell and he would shrug 5 plates each side like nothing.  The only time I seen hin bench he had 315 but it went up easy as hell for several reps.  Other than that no strength I guess ::)

If you're talkin bench press, that's nothing special.  But if you're talkin SHOULDER press I'm impressed.

yes it was 315 seated front press (shoulder).  When I saw him bench he did only have 315 but was repping it easy.  He might have gone up but didn't pay attention.  His shoulder thickness and width was awesome.  But I was stronger :)

I would go with Arcidi.  I once saw him benchpress a 260 pound wrestler (Matt Bourne) completely out of the ring & Bourne didn't even touch the top ropes. 



Ted was wicked stong! same with Henry, Superstar, Mill Mascaras, Tony Atlas, Don Maracco. All big strong cats

Paul Anderson back in the 50's  was the strongest, but to the best of my knowledge he only wrestled a couple of times and donated the winnings to his The Paul Anderson Youth Home. I'll Google and see if I can find more accurate facts.

From the desk of Clarence Bass ....... http://cbass.com/ANDERSON.HTM

Or just go here ..... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Paul+Anderson&btnG=Search

Wikipedia has some great info on Paul Anderson.
