Shouldn't count but i like the body type of peak hogan and macho man, these are what i imagine actual wrestlers look like. I think current cody is in this category and its pretty popular in njpw

no lol it was lashley
was broken during the build-up for battle of the billionaires iirc
masterlock challenge was based as fuck. a heel who whenever his lock was about to be broken would do some cheap shit to keep it locked on and KO the challenger? based. i loved chris masters as a young mark.

Orton when he was younger definitely got the best look. Not small like a cruiserweight but also not big like a roid up freak. Old Orton have been abusing the roids though.
Orton's best look was objectively 2011. Lean and toned. From 2008-2010 he still looked like he has water retention in his pecs and looked slightly chubby.

Yeah that was Kennedy. Masters got popped for PEDs, came back with a very noticeably less built physique and got buried for it by HHH live on RAW
Carlito Kennedy and Masters should have been main event draws for years. Especially Carlito and Kennedy, they had tons of charisma and great mic skills. Masters was definitely beneath them and could have at least been a solid upper midcarder.

Randy Savage was only 15 pounds heavier than Cody Rhodes and yet he still had better physique than Hulk Hogan despite being 55 pounds lighter
Sex, dimes, aesthetics.
No steroids (chicks can tell if you roided or not)
Can actually match and beat olympic level athletes through parkour courses
Made flippy shit actually look good/cool and not cringe

Kurt was roiding just like everyone else, probably to a lesser degree, but I always enjoyed that he was substantially smaller. It really helped sell the "Olympic athlete" gimmick because he actually looked like a real athlete and not a bodybuilder who did also suplexed people.

As my friend once put it, "Chris Benoit was so filled out that I don't think he could have physically put on any more muscle onto his frame if he tried."

Christian was an example of a guy with great physique that got buried because of his not that good looks but Torrie Wilson had better physique and looks when compared to Lita and Chyna yet still never won a single championship despite her eventual HOF induction because she rejected Hollywood Hulk Hogan's love charms. And don't tell me about her moonsault because she was just as bad as Vader and her boyfriend Matt Hardy when doing it not good like HBK she only had a career because of her connections to male wrestlers who were powerful just like Eddie Guerrero who made his ugly wife a star even all these years after his own death.

this, prime Kane just looked like a motherfucker because he actually trained and didn't use so much gear he turned into a roidtranny. too many big wrestlers used gear as a crutch and it shows

WWE 2K17 included both Stardust and Sycho Sid in it's roster but other legends like Batista and Hulk Hogan were missing so WWE 2K25 is the best we just need Chris Jericho to return

A monster that didnt have some fluff weight. >>18658409
Yeah, you gotta watch him go. >>18667862
He had a great look too. A more modern look though. For modern id say austin theory when he came back or aj styles when he came back. Both were on smackdown i think. Theory came back yoked.
