Another great example would be Junkyard Dog. The guy wasn't exactly the peak of physical fitness, but you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who got a bigger crowd reaction. But JYD wasn't gassed after 5 minutes, either. He could go in the ring when he had to. The same can even be said for Bundy, who moved unusually well for a man that big. Well yeah, but at first glance, he doesn't look like he could. That's what I was trying to get across.

To me, if a guy has a body that doesn't interfere with his abilities, I'd say that it definitely isn't worst. Take for example Rusev. He doesn't have the definition of a body builder, but that's because he's a rower and powerlifter. For those fields, strength is far more valuable than definition, and his cube of a body gives him way more strength than if he started cutting. He's got a perfect shape for that kind of thing. And as far as wrestling goes, he's never gassed or anything.

It's definitely about cardio and ability regardless of body shape. I'd post a Willie Mack, Steen or Joe gif here but I think it's about time that Dave Mastiff got some credit: Holy crap! This is beautiful! I'm amazed that doing that dropkick he manages to stay vertical like that for so long while Cena drops like a brick when he does his. Cracks me and my siblings up every single time lol

Apologies for being slightly off-topic, but since people seem to care I might as well link the whole match: www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6W4uiGdOeILanguage warning for sure, Mastiff's mouth is worse than Steens.

And as far as wrestling goes, he's never gassed or anything. Agreed. Bray is a big guy, but for someone of his build, he's got great speed and flexibility. You also made a great point there with powerlifters. May not be as aesthetically-pleasing as a bodybuilder, but they've got functional strength. Cesaro is possibly the best example of a wrestler in the WWE who's got the best balance of those two.

Man this thread really got off track from 'guys who don't fit WWE's mould of a good build' to 'LOOK HOW FAT THESE PHENOMENALLY FIT ATHLETES ARE' pretty quickly!
Also did someone say that Khali has a bad build? Have you seen that motherf***er? I know that these days he makes Mick Foley look like a power walker but come on know, the guy's upper body is incredible.

For a giant, he manages to keep his weight fairly manageable, compared to a lot of them, and that he's not in a wheelchair is impressive, even if he has Nash legs.

Seriously, he has a spare tire, yeah, but look at his f***ing biceps! (I increasingly feel only you and I are on this forum at this time of day)
