I was just listening to the podcast of a certain tennis racket wielding manager and he brought up what Vince McMahon used to eat. At one point in the 1990s his go to for lunch was a plain turkey sandwich on white bread with light mustard (no mayonnaise).
Also, in the 1990s at one point Vince limited catering to the kind of stuff bodybuilders would eat. Staples of the catering table were grilled chicken (no seasoning), the kind of pasta that comes out dry and sticks together (no sauce), a small supply of parmesan on the side, and a big bowl of salad.

Peak comedy is still Bryan Danielson insisting on eating Panera Bread partially because of how much it f***ed with Ryback's head to eat at a sandwich/salad joint.

Could that have also been because of how bad business was?

Chicken breast is sort of a wrestler staple for a lot of them, which makes sense given them trying to maximize protein vs fat on a budget.
Lance Storm is a funny one in that he's talked before about how he dieted most of his career, with zero cheat days, and how he didn't eat peanut butter again until well after he retired from active competition. He'd get made fun of by Christian and some others for eaten scrambled egg WHITES, which, is a thing you can do but it looks strange. His sole indulgence was that if they went to Cracker Barrel and it was available to him, he would eat blueberry pancakes.

This kind of topic always makes me think of Haystack Calhoun, who was said to eat a dozen eggs, a pound of bacon, a dozen pancakes, a quart of orange juice, and a pot of coffee for breakfast on a regular basis.

This entire thread could just be Vince McMahon stories.

Jericho has told a story of him and Eddie Guerrero being drunk at a Dennie’s at 2am and getting into a fight.

Apologies to go for the low hanging fruit, but CM Punk swears that muffins are the perfect accompaniment to career suicide.

I think it was Brian Kendrick who told the story in a shoot interview of him ordering a big stack of pancakes in a restaurant and Benoit flipping out and canceling his order and making him eat egg whites and steak instead.

Don Muraco coming out for a squash match with a meatball sub and a Coke, and pausing to eat and drink while walloping the jobber. And then Lou Albano stepping on a stray meatball and going arse over head.
Or the time he did a promo while eating from a box of donuts.

Jericho had a couple about Warlord.
Warlord was quite upset about being unable to get steak at any hour in Japan and complained loudly and long about it. Finally one day he came into the dressing room and said proudly “It took me until 4am and cost me $150, but I got a steak!!”
Then Jericho challenged him to and eating contest. It was some Japanese style buffet. They ate and ate and at the end had the same number of plates in front of them. Jericho says “You must be embarrassed. You weigh a 100lbs more than me and we ate the same amount”. Warlord says “…..wait. Wait a minute! I ate 3 bowls of rice. You don’t even know what you’re talking about!!! Ha-ha!!!”

Reminds me about Chavo talking about how Benoit would never eat a sweet most of the time but then suddenly out of the blue would just eat a sweet one day like a whole cheesecake. I think in the instance of the cheesecake Chavo asked him why he ate a whole cheesecake and Benoit would just say "he was hunger for one" Recently I am reminded that Jericho after winning the AEW title, lost it when he went to Longhorn Steak house

Going back to Ryback, they did a video on tough enough about his eating habits and Al Snow in awe talking about how Ryback actually breaks a sweat eating food.
