I feel like Bobby Lashley deserves at least an honorable mention, to not only look as impressive as he does, but to not change it at all in almost 20 years, and only getting better in ring with age. Only thing that I guess lets him down is his promo's? But even then, he's far from the worst we've seen
There's an alternate universe somewhere where Lashley has the same body, but also a deep, menacing voice. In that universe, Lashley is a 10-time WWE Champion and surefire Hall-Of-Famer
@@EbonAvatar He's a surefire hall of famer anyway. 2 time ECW champion, 2 time WWE champion (so far), multiple time US champion, ICH also. Tag titles, I'm not sure. But, that's Hall worthy for sure. There's people in there with far less credentials.
I thought for sure that Scott Steiner had a 141 and 2/3 chance of taking the top spot, but obviously I was wrong. I guess that’s what happens when you forget to add Kurt Angle to the mix
Chris Masters definitely impressed me with his physique back in the day. It was one of the two things that stood out to me about him outside of his Master Lock. He looked like a statue come to life!
Was kind of expecting either a Valentine's Day special or even a Wre-Do of St Valentine's Day Massacre but to quote what you said about Shane Helms' New look in your WCW Greed Review "Hey, Gotta give the gals something to look at."
@@WrestlingWithWregret Good to know. I was kind of expecting it cause I believe today is the 25th Anniversary. Still, looking forward to the Wre-Do whenever you get around to it.
It would be fun to see a women’s equivalent to this video. With names Rhea Ripley, Chyna, Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill, Jordynne Grace… I would really like to see that top 8.
I think Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley both belong on this list. They are both ridiculously accomplished in ring performers, and I distinctly recall when both of them debuted thinking they were each one of the most jacked dudes I had ever seen in my life. Nathan Jones was scary AF when he debuted, but we all know how that turned out.
I can see why Brian might not have included Lesnar on this list due to Brock's alleged involvement in the lawsuit against Vince McMahon, but Lashley at least deserved an honorable mention.
No theyre not on here cause while theyre both monsters. Lesnar isnt necessarily a body guy physique wise. He didnt work on that physique like a body builder, while he is big and freakish, there was better all around bodys aesthetic wise. And Lashley just never had the career these guys have had in their eras
Dennis: Okay, will you stop? I don't want to have conversations anymore about dudes' physiques and whether they can... Mac: Dennis, in body mass alone...
Where's Chris Masters? Bobby Lashley? The British Bulldog? Brock Lesnar? Ahmed Johnson? Kerry Von Erich? Braun Strowman? (Only counting body guys with a decent upper midcard or main event run)
First of all, this video was awful, and clearly this smarky little dweeeb that runs the channel is trying to get a job with the Fed. Triple Nose has never been good at anything ever, and his physique was average. Furthermore, Besides Steiner, who will always be #1, this is the list, in no particular order: Warlord, BJH, KVE, Lex, Masters, Hawk, Orndorff, Atlas, Hulk, Nikita, Warrior, Buff, Goldberg, Dupree, Jindrak, DBS
@@realredskinrell yeah fair enough, he did have a run with the WCW world title. Scott Hall was also a body guy back during his AWA days, had a good run with the tag titles I believe (with Curt Hennig)
Orton has the DDP Jake Roberts Dustin Rhodes/Goldust physique tall and lean but not overly muscular.. I have seen pictures of Cowboy Bob being much more ripped
I was expecting The Ultimate Warrior to be #1. At least he was in the honorable mentions along with Scott Steiner, who I would also rank among the top five.
My wife just got into wrestling about 18 months ago or so. Videos like this are really useful to her. She loves learning about pretty much anything that happened prior to when she started watching.
Besides Steiner, who will always be #1, this is the list, in no particular order: Warlord, BJH, KVE, Lex, Masters, Hawk, Orndorff, Atlas, Hulk, Nikita, Warrior, Buff, Goldberg, Dupree, Jindrak, DBS. Full stop
Honestly feel like the Road Warriors deserved at least an honorable mention. Those two were absolute hosses. Speaking of hosses, I would LOVE to see a list of the best hoss battles.
Tony Atlas vs Hulk Hogan is the 1st pro-wrestling match I saw on TV in 1981 and I'm still shocked today by the monster physique 'Mr. USA' Tony Atlas had at that time. Even Hulk Hogan looked shabby in comparison!
The guy who does these videos was obviously clearly troIIIing with this video. Triple Nose has never been the best At anything, and his physique was average at best. Pretty sure someone told me the mark kid that makes these videos is trying to get a job with the Fed, hence the #1 spot going to Triple Nobody
I know this is a list about men, but I gotta give shoutout to some ladies, Jordynne Grace, Jade Cargill, Jazz, Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley, Kaitlyn and Victoria!
Besides Steiner, who will always be #1, this is the list, in no particular order: Warlord, BJH, KVE, Lex, Masters, Hawk, Orndorff, Atlas, Hulk, Nikita, Warrior, Buff, Goldberg, Dupree, Jindrak, DBS
True, but his body fat percentage was genetic, I bet he had visible abbs before he ever did a crunch or situp, so that came naturally, but in many low fat % people he probably had to really trick his muscles to make his first gains.
@@marthastubbs8321 Because I thought he should be included. Other's have mentioned Otis, and you're asking why I asked about someone who is legitimately ripped?
Shoutout to Brian Cage. Not as successful in kayfabe as most ppl on this list but especially given the context of AEW he's always a joy to watch in a place where he seems like a genuine marble giant and his in ring is miles above what a guy as big as him should be able to do. Where others on this list can at most do a middle rope axe handel, Cage is out there doing frankensteiners and suplexing people from the ring apron into the ring
What AEW are doing with Brian Cage is downright disgusting. He has the look alongside all the talent in the world and they have him look like a complete jobber.
Same here, early Sting roid up was a beefy boy, but when he got off it and started wearing the Crow Sting tights he kinda deflated. Guess he'll just have to settle for being one of the greatest of all time without the "body guy" designation.
Weird pick here but for me when I was growing up I still have a very good attachment and nostalgic factor to Chris master the masterpiece. That's a little kid watching raw and smackdown on local channels dub in Spanish having to wait one week with a delay on the show always since the dubbing will be aired while the latest episode is aired I was always hooked up with the first instance that I saw Chris Master and threw him I learn about bodybuilding and about everything of that culture and he Carlito Ric Flair and Randy Orton and lastly the Undertaker back then were the ones that solidified my passion for wrestling and got me hooked up. We're pic I know that Chris Master was not the biggest talent or the most talented or the best one of the mic but I really like his gimmick his looks and overall he was very decent and entertaining to watch to the point that now I generally miss him in WWE especially now that we have Carlitos it really feels weird not seeing them together. Chris Master this by being in the ring with big or dudes he often still look really good and solid and you could believe that he could beat anybody It might just be a bit more difficult but you could still believe from him if he only had a better mic work he could have been something very enjoyable and could have been a top draw. Now that we have the likes of Bobby Lashley Gunther Drew McIntyre Sheamus this type of big brawling dudes that move quick but it kind of also fight slow I feel that Chris Master could be a new addition for WWE and he can help and elevate other talent while being elevated at the same time.
Probably not featured because his primary runs were in TNA and OVW (after it ceased being a WWE developmental territory), but Big Brother contestant-turned-wrestler Jessie Godderz is called “Mr. Pectacular” for a reason.
I think Cena really sold himself as a proper worker with the US Open Challenge. There were quite a few bangers in there and the argument that he couldn't wrestle fizzled out there.
I think that George Hackenschmidt should've been on this list for sure, one of the early examples of a "body guy" Pioneer of bodybuilding, big, buff and ripped, he would definitely be on my list
Tom “Dynamite Kid” Billington could be an honorable mention. He had an incredible physique and was a spectacular wrestler. He was (along with Davey Boy) a “body guy”, early in the body guy era.
Missed an opportunity to mention the “original” body guy, Jim Londos; an individual who basically influenced the wrestling business to utilize the physical appeal of wrestling talent. Wish u didn’t miss that opportunity.
Every time I see coughlin he does something more unreal than the last time I saw him. Standing out as the jacked guy in a faction with Dan Moloney, Gabe Kidd & Clark Connors is a feat in itself honestly. War Dogs rule 🤘
@@tiem6260 Between drilla and Alex, how i see it is someone jacked to fuck versus shredded to gills. both insane just in different ways. My dogs 4 real
Good list. Others worth a mention include Tony Atlas, Hercules Hernandez, Road Warrior Hawk, Kerry Von Erich, Bobby Lashley, Warlord, Paul Roma, Kurt Angle, Nikita Koloff, Brock Lesnar...
Here's my 11 picks of WWWF-WWE Superstars (current or former) who have the best bodies (let me know if I left out anyone): 1. Ivan Putski 2. Brock Lesnar (who I'm surprised Brian Zane didn't mention on this video but I can see why) 3. Powers of Pain (Warlord & Barbarian) (sorry, Legion of Doom fans) 4. "Macho Man" Randy Savage 5. Bobby Lashley 6. Tony Atlas 7. Kerry Von Erich 8. Chris Masters 9. "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka 10. Roman Reigns 11. Ricky Steamboat (not because he's my idol but Ricky did compete in bodybuilding before wrestling).
@@earlofdrumer1851 Oops, I'm mentioning wrestlers that Brian Zane left out on this video. Most of my picks have better bodies than the late, great Bruno Sammartino.
Nice list Brian but how in the hell can you leave off Ricky Steamboat? The man had the million dollar body, the in ring talent, and was great on the mic. Granted some of the others here had more chrisima but you can't deny Steamboat was better in the ring than most on this list and could burn it down whether in AWA, NWA, WWF WCW
@@douglaspaterson5269 Maybe for McMahon's 80s meat factory, but he held his own during the NWA/WCW and when you look at Eddie Gureruo and Chris Beniot's bodies for their sizes they could make this list too.
I know we hate him as a human being (me included) but Vince McMahon should get some credit from a BUSINESSMAN perspective. He helped a lot of guys on his roster lose weight. When Mick Foley told Vince on the phone that he lost 25lbs during an 80lbs loss goal, Vince told Foley himself that he would hold him on that. Vince also helped Gunther lose weight according to Dave Meltzer as well as telling Big Show he was a “Fat new years baby.” While not the nicest of ways to put it, Show did end up getting in shape so good for him. Sheamus recalled a story about how Vince asked if he enjoyed the holidays while looking at his gut. Sheamus took this as inspiration to get back in shape. Chris Jericho once recalled saying Vince went through a phase of wanting Kevin Owens to lose weight” Which inspired Kevin Owens to do so. My sources of these story’s comes from Sportskeeda. Vince is obviously not the best person on the planet (understatement, I know) but their has been times he’s proven to show concern for his roster when it comes to their physical health. His love for muscular guys as well as being a muscular guy in his prime as well as being the head of the biggest wrestling promotion in the world should at least give him somewhat of a mention.
I would have included overlooked names like Ahmed Johnson, Buff Bagwell, Goldberg, Davey Boy Smith, Kerry Von Erich, Hercules, Johnny B Badd, and Paul Roma to this list. Those guys had great physiques as well who don’t get mentioned enough.
Bobby Lashley. I can still picture Lio Rush chanting Lashley's name as he performed butt flexes in the center of the ring. Also, Big E's bottle of baby oil skyrockets him towards the top of my list.

Cant wait to see a part 2, and a part 3.
Jesus I hope Vince doesnt find this video lol
Next thing you know, he's naming foreign objects after Superstar Graham.
He's saying Woooooooooooooooooooooww as we speak
I think that George Hackenschmidt should've been on this list for sure, one of the early examples of a "body guy"
Pioneer of bodybuilding, big, buff and ripped, he would definitely be on my list
Prime Kane was indeed a true MONSTER.
This is by far the best wrestling channel on TH-cam. NOT even fuckin close either
Coincidentally rewatched your lex video last night. Whenever you talk about him im always interested
Where the hell is Brock Lesnar? Seriously, his push in the 2000s was thanks almost exclusively due his look. Thankfully he could wrestle too.
Tom “Dynamite Kid” Billington could be an honorable mention. He had an incredible physique and was a spectacular wrestler. He was (along with Davey Boy) a “body guy”, early in the body guy era.
Warlord vs Davy in a pose down, who wins?
@@hippiepeter Warlord.
Probably overlooked because they were on the short side.🙈🙉🙊
Missed an opportunity to mention the “original” body guy, Jim Londos; an individual who basically influenced the wrestling business to utilize the physical appeal of wrestling talent. Wish u didn’t miss that opportunity.
2017 Jinder deserves a shout
Don’t Hinder Jinder
He had the bacne of a champion.
@Cursed_Mark lol.
Alex Coughlin looks like a freak of nature. Also fair play to Hobbs for becoming what he is now
Every time I see coughlin he does something more unreal than the last time I saw him. Standing out as the jacked guy in a faction with Dan Moloney, Gabe Kidd & Clark Connors is a feat in itself honestly. War Dogs rule 🤘
@@tiem6260 Between drilla and Alex, how i see it is someone jacked to fuck versus shredded to gills. both insane just in different ways. My dogs 4 real
Orndorff has the body women love and men love...to uh, fear.
Good list. Others worth a mention include Tony Atlas, Hercules Hernandez, Road Warrior Hawk, Kerry Von Erich, Bobby Lashley, Warlord, Paul Roma, Kurt Angle, Nikita Koloff, Brock Lesnar...
awesome video Brian You're the best.
Here's my 11 picks of WWWF-WWE Superstars (current or former) who have the best bodies (let me know if I left out anyone):
1. Ivan Putski
2. Brock Lesnar (who I'm surprised Brian Zane didn't mention on this video but I can see why)
3. Powers of Pain (Warlord & Barbarian) (sorry, Legion of Doom fans)
4. "Macho Man" Randy Savage
5. Bobby Lashley
6. Tony Atlas
7. Kerry Von Erich
8. Chris Masters
9. "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka
10. Roman Reigns
11. Ricky Steamboat (not because he's my idol but Ricky did compete in bodybuilding before wrestling).
No Rick Rude 😭
Sorry if you like the biggest beefiest guys but he had the best body in wrestling imo
Ricky Steamboat and Snuka are scary buff. They aren’t necessarily huge but they look like all they do is work out and fight.
@@earlofdrumer1851 Oops, I'm mentioning wrestlers that Brian Zane left out on this video.
Most of my picks have better bodies than the late, great Bruno Sammartino.
Hercules Hernandez
Abdullah the Butcher; The man's pecs wrapped all the way around to his back!
HHH did get huge in 2002. I remember it being jaw dropping
Triple H is one of my favorites. He was able to work amazing matches with larger than life characters in the Attitude Era and Ruthless Aggression Era.
LMFAO
@@marcbasil Sounds like a bot comment lol.
@@MR12AMAZING ..?
Nice list Brian but how in the hell can you leave off Ricky Steamboat? The man had the million dollar body, the in ring talent, and was great on the mic. Granted some of the others here had more chrisima but you can't deny Steamboat was better in the ring than most on this list and could burn it down whether in AWA, NWA, WWF WCW
Had a good body but was a little too small.
@@douglaspaterson5269 Maybe for McMahon's 80s meat factory, but he held his own during the NWA/WCW and when you look at Eddie Gureruo and Chris Beniot's bodies for their sizes they could make this list too.
@@Cavillier1970 True.
Scott Steiner especially in his early years as he could move like a cruiserweight and he innovated moves too
Personally, I want more Wredone PPV’s from reviews, until every PPV is Wredone, and we get a “All WWE PPV’s” playlist.
Crazy to see no Brock. I get because of current events but he was just a different level.
Big, not chiseled and shredded.
😂 i gotta go to the gym now lol
Make sure you bring steroids like these guys did.
I know we hate him as a human being (me included) but Vince McMahon should get some credit from a BUSINESSMAN perspective. He helped a lot of guys on his roster lose weight.
When Mick Foley told Vince on the phone that he lost 25lbs during an 80lbs loss goal, Vince told Foley himself that he would hold him on that.
Vince also helped Gunther lose weight according to Dave Meltzer as well as telling Big Show he was a “Fat new years baby.” While not the nicest of ways to put it, Show did end up getting in shape so good for him.
Sheamus recalled a story about how Vince asked if he enjoyed the holidays while looking at his gut. Sheamus took this as inspiration to get back in shape.
Chris Jericho once recalled saying Vince went through a phase of wanting Kevin Owens to lose weight” Which inspired Kevin Owens to do so.
My sources of these story’s comes from Sportskeeda.
Vince is obviously not the best person on the planet (understatement, I know) but their has been times he’s proven to show concern for his roster when it comes to their physical health.
His love for muscular guys as well as being a muscular guy in his prime as well as being the head of the biggest wrestling promotion in the world should at least give him somewhat of a mention.
I think Kane deserves an honorable mention
I would have included overlooked names like Ahmed Johnson, Buff Bagwell, Goldberg, Davey Boy Smith, Kerry Von Erich, Hercules, Johnny B Badd, and Paul Roma to this list. Those guys had great physiques as well who don’t get mentioned enough.
What….in gods name are you talking about LMFAO. How are any of those people “overlooked”…? Wut? Do you not know what that word denotes…?
@@marcbasilThey're overlooked because Brian didn't mention them. I'd also put Hercules in the honorable mentions at least.
@@christianhafer9819 lmao literally none of the ppl he mentioned are even remotely overlooked except maybe Badd
@@marcbasil I would say Paul Roma is. Who the hell talks about him anymore? Lol.
Toney Atlas???? Come on that’s a layup during Black History Month lol
He's #1
Peak Dynamite Kid was absolutely jacked to the gills.
Bobby Lashley. I can still picture Lio Rush chanting Lashley's name as he performed butt flexes in the center of the ring. Also, Big E's bottle of baby oil skyrockets him towards the top of my list.
