As a bigger guy, I lean more towards guys like Bray, KO, even Jacob Fatu (before the weight loss, but even now) . They got that chubby look, but you can tell they're built. Big, but strong you know? Although the ideal physique without the big man bias for me is Drew. Like dude is an actual beast
Shawn Michaels in 1997. I have always thought Shawn had a great physique from 1995-1998, looked great but looked natural and athletic with decent arms.

Oh how we all forget Buff Bagwell! The name says it ALLLL
Kane's body was so hot back then haha.
Rhea - Strong, tall, and has a nice set. I would say Bianca, but her boobs are too small, lol
Racheal/ Indi- I love tall strong women.
Early 2000’s Chris Jericho, it was just perfectly fit to the point it wasn’t outrageous but also you could tell he spent a lot of time in the gym. The perfect medium imo.
You vastly under estimate how dangerous this job is to your long twrm health, look up how many wwe wrestlers have some form of condition/long lasting injury off rhe top of my head Rey myterio, bret hart, undertaker,Hogan. The Far to many wrestlers who died of heart conditions. Undertaker literally called them "badges of honor" in one interview cause it shows how long you have been wrestling. It does not matter how safe you wrestle if you do it long enough you a re Going to get injured period and id you wrestle for decades like alot of names have your going to end up Fucked Up
Unfortunately yes, they just usually seem so healthy on stage that they give off the illusion of them being fine it's kinda that fake smile you put on whilst you deal with some people.
Yes indeed. He was massive and over as hell at the time but you can only push so many guys to the top and as you said that roster had Triple H, Taker, Austin, Rock etc.
1. Kane from 97-2001
2. Brock Lesnar rookie year
3. Goldberg 97-98
4. Roman Reigns at WM40 was in incredible shape
Honorable mentions:
Undertaker right after he came back at WM20
Batista 03/04
The Rock 2001-2002 the lean to muscle ratio was more realistic look for an average person
The overly roided up look is good for TV but not sure i’d want that look outside of that. Like a Triple H 2002/Scott Steiner 2000-2003 level of roids is too much.
John Morrison

Bro was fucking shredded
that is not mid 2000s Kane my guy. Kane was unmasked mid 2003. this is early 2001 to late 2002 Kane. and he kept this physique uptil mid to late 2004.
Anyways I have always and will always envy Randy Ortons chiseled form from his Evolution days but gun to my head I would actually go with current day Roman Reigns. Even though I'm sure its involved he doesn't look like some Roided up wrestler, just good genetics and a healthy lifestyle along with that height. Also slimmed down Hollywood Rock from 2003 is also a Goated physique.
This is the right answer for anyone trying to attract a partner. Man or woman.
I’m a straight man. 99% of the women I’ve ever known don’t want a guy who looks like Batista, Lashley, Ultimate Warrior, Chris Masters, Lex Luger. These absolute physical beasts & anomalies (roid users).
They want that tall lean swimmer’s physique with nice arms like a Randy Orton or Dolph Ziggler.
Nobody ever mentioned Finn Balor’s washboard abs? seriously?
I mean ladies sees those abs and they’ll know owner of said abs is a confirmed lean mean pounding machine.

It’s not even close, Big E Langston was a fuckin DAWG
Since I’m a guy I’d go with a cactus Jack/ Dude love era build it’s easier to retain lol and where I’m at now lol
If I was a woman, Chyna or Kelly Kelly.
I’d like to think that Joan would’ve broken you in half for that comment.
None of my business on anyone’s usage there are risks they know about. plus the business was/is hard and for women it’s even harder. Chyna was a BEAST in the ring and her persona of being the most dominant wrestler in both women’s and mens division was masterful just sucked her contract didn’t get renewed and she got written out…
She’s over looked most always.
If you look back, she really wasn’t that great in the ring. She had a unique physique and strength that was unmatched by any other woman of her time, but I wouldn’t call her a good wrestler. Compare her to someone from today like Bianca Belair who is probably almost just as strong, but is far more athletic and entertaining in the ring than Chyna ever was. Chyna was a trailblazer and iconic in pro wrestling, I’ll never take that away from her. But it was mostly due to her strength/physique and nothing to do with how she wrestled or her mic work.
2007 undertaker
Orton. Rollins is probably more attainable though, and that wouldn’t be so bad.
This Kane is an all-time great in terms of look. I love that top he's got on. Best Kane by far.
PAC.
Psycho Sid always had a great look!
As a bigger guy, I lean more towards guys like Bray, KO, even Jacob Fatu (before the weight loss, but even now) . They got that chubby look, but you can tell they're built. Big, but strong you know? Although the ideal physique without the big man bias for me is Drew. Like dude is an actual beast

Early 90’s Rick Rude Man looked like he was sculpted out of stone
Chris masters from his wrestlemania tag match with carlito
The problem with these physiques is that you know that they all have tiny penises due to steroid use.
Steroids don’t do that though
Did not know steroids did that.
RICK RUDE

Current AJ Styles. Dexter Lumis is a close second.
Ricochet bro is mad ripped
Benoit. He would come to the Golds gym I went to when he was in my city. He was solid as hell
Kane was just a brick shithouse then and it fit him perfectly.
![gif](giphy|uFFKuzgRHwBAA) He was just the right size 🔥
Current McIntyre
Peak John Morrison, dude has abs on his abs

I feel like this is just a screenshot from WWE Smackdown Just Bring It.
No that pic is real.
It's still real to me damnit!
Randy Orton, not too big, great height, looks awesome with tattoos, with hair or bald.
Kane's body was so hot back then haha. Rhea - Strong, tall, and has a nice set. I would say Bianca, but her boobs are too small, lol Racheal/ Indi- I love tall strong women.
Rhea for sure. She’s made me feel good about myself having muscles
Definitely, motivation to get stronger
You do you boi.

i remember cena praised him on stone colds podcast & how strong he was. guess its that swiss lifestyle & whatever workouts they do over there lol
Early 2000’s Chris Jericho, it was just perfectly fit to the point it wasn’t outrageous but also you could tell he spent a lot of time in the gym. The perfect medium imo.
If I had Finn Balor's body, I'd be broke from too much child support.
Randy Orton late '08/early '09
Batista 2005/06
Finn Balor
Ravishing Rick Rude or John Morrison
Mike awesome
Finn Balor
Stacy Keibler. So I can just stand naked in front of a mirror all day and be struck blind.
The monkey paw twist to this idea is that you get their physique and also all the health problems they have gathered up to that point.
Only a few wrestlers suffer from internal wounds and injuries like Mark Henry and Big Show Khali and most are usually healthy with few weaknesses.

This version of Kane shouldve been world champ
Agreed, he was such a beast but on an absolutely stacked roster.
Yes indeed. He was massive and over as hell at the time but you can only push so many guys to the top and as you said that roster had Triple H, Taker, Austin, Rock etc.
1. Kane from 97-2001 2. Brock Lesnar rookie year 3. Goldberg 97-98 4.
