HTM looks like one of the Valiant brothers. Possibly Crush Valiant.

I'd seen some of Sullivan's old Army of Darkness promos and matches a couple months ago, and I was surprised at just how solidly muscular he looked. I, too, only knew him really from his later WCW work when he was just kinda tubby, or undefined at best.
Mind you, he looked a lot closer to that by the last year of the AoD angle...he seemed to get more out of shape as the angle went on.

In regards to the first picture. His stomach is actually enormously distended. This is a side effect of Shieky's "medicine" ie. steroids. That is the only way abs grow on top of a gut. (which isn't really a gut, it's actually a super-enlarged stomach) Most recent examples of distendedness would have been on Test when he was in ECW and Santino right after he debuted and was huge. I think you got it a little wrong there. Steroids do not make the stomach bigger all the time. It is very possible to get at least a four pack and still have kind of a beer belly. If you eat a lot and stretch your stomach but still work out your abs really hard it is very possible.

not really realted to the Iron Shiek's stomach, but i really loved it when he would load up his pointed boot.

Has anyone ever figured out how exactly his "loaded" boot worked? The best I can figure is that he must have had two substances in two small compartments in the toe of his boot. When these substances were mixed they became instantly hard. By smacking his toe on the ground he was breaking the small barrier separating his two active chemicals.
Either that or it was a nervous tick the announcers were just making things up cause they didn't like the guy.

He has a body like Harvey Keitel in Bad Lieutenant.

That seems highly unlikely unless the object is flat, because many times he would wrestle for a good three fourths of the match before loading the boot. I couldn't see walking on a hard stone like object for that long, and being able to wrestle. I also have a hard time thinking that a thin flat piece of anything would do much damage. Nope it had to be some kind of chemical reaction going on. I'm telling you the Iron Sheik is a scientific wrestler with a major in chemistry.
