I can explain what happened to him.
Basically he was in a jet ski accident the night before Wrestlemania IX and the force of the water blew off at least 47% of his muscle mass.

I will never understand how Enos and Bloom ended up as a jobber to the stars tag team. When they hit the WWF, they were pretty well regarded rookies with a lot going for them, they were big, had spells in the AWA, WCW and New Japan under their belts and they looked like people who could kick your ass, so naturally Vince gave them a gimmick that was never going to go anywhere and made them jobbers.

If they were to come in with their Destruction Crew gimmick, they could have been bigger. Instead they're given some cheap, shiny, ostentatious,...ah hell, I don't even know what they were supposed to be!

Looks like Jimmy Hart put him on the vegan diet.

I never understood why they weren't allowed a better gimmick. The Beverly Brothers gimmick was horrible. I always liked them as the Destruction Crew.

Eons and Bloom were badasses, for sure, but it was that damn Beverly Brothers gimmick.
Thanks, Vince.

Mike Enos had limited potential due to his Dan Severn-level charisma. He was a good looking guy and a good power wrestler, but he didn't have the skill level to be anything other than a midcarder in WWE.
Wayne Bloom, on the other hand, had ample charisma and could talk, not to mention being one of the strongest men in the world. He could have been pushed as a solid singles star. Enos was an anchor on his career.

the announcers covering up the muscle loss saying it was for "cardio" and "excess poundage" is unreal

If you go back and read the Herb Kunze stuff, they were rumoured to have been coming in with a "gay" gimmick. What we got is not as bad as it could have been. I started watching in 1993, after Beau had left. On WWF Supercard (Canada's version of All-American), Blake Beverley v. Virgil was the Ziggler v. Kofi of the time. And damn, if the matches weren't damn good.

One thing nobody can take away: the Beverly Brothers' theme was the best heel tag team theme song since the Fabulous Rougeaus' "All American Boys".

In the early 90's, I'd imagine "Beverly Pop" was their version of our "Conway Pop"
