I love Earthquake but I had to go with Yoko. I never thought of Vader or Bam Bam Bigelow as obese. I always thought they had a lot of muscles but a different type of muscle mass as people like Lex Luger and Hulk Hogan.

Blackwell.
And Adonis wasn't fat in AWA late in his career, was he? He was fat, but fat in WWF if memory serves.

Adonis was very much fat in the AWA late in his career (basically the last matches of his career). He still was one of their best workers at the time. He was in the best shape in the 1970s and early 1980s in AWA and WWF, but he never truly had the type of body that suited the name 'Adonis.'

Unathletic-looking Dusty Rhodes feuded with Superstar Billy Graham. Talk about a before and after picture.

Was he still feminine or did he go back to the old school bruiser?

Was he still feminine or did he go back to the old school bruiser? He went back to AWA as Adorable Adrian Adonis, continuing his WWF character, though it might have been a little less effeminate and more serious, but overall he was still playing the Adorable character. He was managed by Paul E. Dangerously. He really was one of the best workers there at the time, even though he was at his career heaviest.

I especially like Dusty, Bam Bam, Vader and Morishima, but I dunno if I'd label them "obese" the way I would Yoko, who was a pretty solid worker throughout 1993-94 prior to him just getting totally out of control.

Adrian was listed at anywhere between 360-400 pounds in his AWA run. I remember he was supposed to fight Greg Gagne for the AWA International TV Title. Here's this guy built like an egg with pink trunks. And I might be wrong, but I believe he was sporting a crewcut. (I do remember the last WWF appearance I seen him a part of was one of those interviews in front of the blue background for an arena plug for the Rosemont Horizon, not long after WM III. Jimmy Hart coerced him to come out and he removed the towel on his head, revealing a completely bald Adonis; "Humpty Dumpty" as Jesse the Body would say. They were plugging his match with Brutus Beefcake.)
(Kinda off-topic, but seeing how this is the forum that made "John Cena: Wrestling With Boners" legendary; was I the only guy turned off by Adrian's matches due to the fact his junk was constantly pressed up against his trunks? If he wore the old black trunks, it probably wouldn't have bothered me as much, but the pink makes everything kinda stand out, pardon the pun.)
