10 Most Radical Body Transformations In Wrestling
2. The Big Show
The Big Show who arrived in WWE in 1999 was a sight to behold. Though the seven-foot-tall superstar wasn't exactly lean, he had an impressive build, with a chest far larger than his waist and noticeable lat muscles. Being in that shape allowed him to do very impressive things for a man his size, such as jump over the top rope or even hit missile dropkicks.
It wasn't long before he started to balloon up, though, and by the time he was in his early 30s - think 2002 and 2003 - he had put on well over a hundred pounds. Now tipping the scales at nearly a quarter of a ton, Show lost his definition and his athleticism, making him one of the least impressive members of the company's roster. Over the next decade or so, he'd drop some weight, and his lighter years seemed to correspond to better performances.
Last year, with his career winding down, Show was off the road and spending time in the gym, allowing him to get his weight below 400 pounds. It was an impressive achievement from the giant, and now that he's back in the ring, he can hopefully keep the weight off.
