10 Most Radical Wrestler Body Transformations EVER
8. Bubba-Ray Dudley
ECW's Bubba-Ray Dudley was almost deliberately chunky. The stuttering county boy suited his overweight look at the time, but the man behind the gimmick wasn't satisfied. Nobody would've called Bubba a body guy, put it that way...at least until he suddenly looked like a million bucks.
There wasn't even a sizeable gap between TNA appearances for the change to happen either.
Bubba, as Bully Ray, split from longtime partner D-Von, turned heel and then morphed into an obnoxious New Yorker who loved intimidating others. Somehow, he managed to convince in that role despite shedding the pounds - Bully tightened up his midsection and presumably did more bicep curls in several weeks than most do in a lifetime.
Dudley looked awesome as Bully Ray. His 2011 look remains the best of his career, and it finally let him prove that he belonged in the main event mix as a singles. It's just a shame that WWE never came knocking to let him take things one step further.
