Ric Drasin has seen a lot of physiques in his day - guys that did bodybuilding, guys that wrestled - guys that did both. He did both. And Wrestling is largely a sport of illusion, there's heroes and villains, tall guys and short ones, strong guys and ... not so strong ones.
But I want to know who the real freaks of wrestling were. My whole life, since the first time I saw Hulk Hogan tear his shirt to threads - I've debated who the strongest champions were. Clearly, most guys couldn't press a 250lb man in the air like the Ultimate Warrior. Even with assistance, not even a strong bodybuilder could have picked up, much less body slammed Andre the Giant like Hogan did.
Let me also stress for the record. I don't care what these guys may (or may not have been on). This post isn't about that. There's plenty of pages you guys (and girls) could go to if you're dead set on finding write-ups on gear - this isn't one of 'em.
I'm sure many of the greats must have frequented the Classic Gyms like Gold's Venice, World Gym, and I'm sure many continue going to the big gyms nationally. Let's see what the Champ has to say!
