10 Most Radical Body Transformations In Wrestling

1. Scott Steiner

Once upon a time, a young tag-team wrestler named Scott Steiner was considered a future superstar. With his good build and incredible athleticism, he could perform feats in the ring that few had seen before - feats of strength and skill like driving opponents into the mat with backflipping slams. He popularized the hurricanrana in the United States, calling it the 'Frankensteiner'.

As time passed, Steiner got larger and larger, his muscles achieving freakish proportions. He embraced the change in 1998, turning on brother Rick, cutting his hair and dyeing it blond, christening himself "Big Poppa Pump". Now a larger-than-life heel in the vein of 'Superstar' Billy Graham, Steiner claimed that his physical fitness was only outmatched by his success with the ladies - or as he like to call them, his "peaks" and his "freaks."

Steiner always denied that he used any shortcuts or illegal substances to achieve his physique, and there's never been any evidence to come out and prove he's lying. Still, in a sport where excess is the norm, Steiner's build stands peaks above the rest.
