Thank you for making this video – I am 38 and collected sports illustrated/ wcw /wwf magazines from 11 years old – I was always interested in the parallel between bodybuilders and those who would star in Wrestling federations – this has been a great insight..

I'm addicted to nicks videos. I think that fact that bodybuilding isn't on tv, makes it unique and even more interesting. It's great that we have nick to tell us about the history of bodybuilding. Nicks the best all day!

idk if this is supposed to be in an order of "worse to best" but having Tony Atlas at #6 is a crime.

From what I understand, Brian Cage from PWG (aka "The Man They Call Cage" from Lucha Underground) is also another guy who does bodybuilding shows, and he also used to be in the WWE's developmental program as Kris Logan. Buddy of mine who frequents PWG shows has hinted this is probably the reason he hasn't tried to get back into the WWE (he doesn't claim to be a natty guy at all).

Might be a lead to see just how much of a bodybuilding background the guy has.

Question: I am planning to compete in natural bodybuilding and in the USAPL in the next year or two. So I’m a powerbuilder. I wanna get back into boxing which I did when I was younger. Will I lose muscle and lose my PR’s? I was wondering if you would have any tips on if I should do it or if I shouldn’t cause I’ll lose muscle and my PR’s. I’m looking for tips on how to keep my PR’s consistent and my muscle building consistent while doing the intense cardio that boxing consist of. I just turned 18 years old and I have 2.5 years of lifting under my belt.

Of all the wrestlers past and present, the one who may have been a perfect bodybuilder would have been Rick Rude. Small waist, shredded physique, big arms and shoulders. What do you think???
