The FBB wrestler/enforcer

[freshchampion]

Will we ever see another Chyna, Midnight, or even a Terri Power?
Or was that a time and place thing?  


Rhea Ripley basically looks like the Instagram fitness model version of this character and that's not a diss at all. If she gets on the Tessa Blanchard 2018 workout plan x2, she'd basically be there already.  

[2coldMack is even more baffled]

I think we're past it, and for a good reason. Back in those days, it was fairly rare to get a woman in wrestling who looked like she could stand and trade with the guys. Now, increasingly athletic and buff women are getting into the business, and it makes that model of bodyguard gimmick way less special. Basically, women's wrestling expanding in a big way erased one particular niche for one particular type of woman. Weird scenario.

Asya? lol

I haven’t seen any of his matches lately, but isn’t this something the NWA is doing with Nick Aldis and Braun Strowman’s girlfriend Kamilla? I know she’s his “insurance policy”, but I don’t know if she throws down with the dudes or not.

I always thought Asya was an underrated - or at least underutilized and very poorly marketed - by WCW. She took bumps like the men and had a better moonsault than Lita, and this while Chyna was struggling to get through an entire match and could barely execute a DDT.

Also the closest we've come to an FBB in wrestling in recent years would be Sarah Backman, although she was an armwrestler not a bodybuilder. And she signed with NXT, exchanged her muscles for implants, and was gone within six months.

I think Melissa Coates (the fbb who showed up in WWE to lose a Masterlock challenge) is somewhere on the indies still, but also that she's slimmed down a lot.

[OVO 40 hunched over like he 80]

Let’s keep in mind that Chyna and other fbb enforcers got that big because of steroid abuse. In this day and age not worth it.

It'll depend and the look will obviously shift with current times. In the 80s, wrestlers like Lady Maxine and even Baby Doll had this role, usually being bigger than their male counterparts just due to genetics. Then came Chyna, Asya, Bostyn, Kansys and whatever. These days if it it'll happen, it's going to be more of the Tamina Snuka type and not Nicole Bass.

Well Babydoll was never the enforcer, unless you count against Cornette lol.

[Mozenrath]

Taya kinda does this with Johnny Mundo, but that's more like a Mister Miracle and Big Barda pairing.

Not as much in JCP but she was elsewhere.
