10 Ways Wrestlers Changed Their Appearance Through Surgery

4. Calf Implants

Calf implants are silicone-based implants that are surgically inserted into calves, used by people looking to enhance the size of them. Given wrestlers bump with their legs regularly in the ring it’s a wonder why any would ever contemplate getting this procedure done. However, Buff Bagwell isn’t your average wrestler.

In a feature for MTV, the once professional gigolo Buff talked about having calf implants, with his body rejecting the implants four days after surgery, revealing it got so bad he feared he would have his legs amputated. He then showed on camera the gruesome scars on his calves after the doctors removed the implants.

Hadn't he ever heard of lunges or box jumps for thicker legs? It seems entirely easier and cheaper than going through the hassle of calf surgery. Look to Bully Ray and his naturally majestic calves. He made an entire gimmick out of them. It seems a missed opportunity too there was never a ‘Calf Implants on a Poll’ match.
