12 Most Alarming Physique Transformations In WWE History

12. The Undertaker

When 'Taker returned at Judgement Day 2000, his gimmick wasn't the only thing that had changed. Now the 'American Badass', his physique had also transformed too. Only it wasn't for the better.

When 'Taker returned from seven months on the bench he was carrying a little extra weight. To be blunt, he was fat. The quality of his matches dramatically decreased and he took to wearing loose-fitting clothes to conceal his weight gain. Over the next few years, however, he trained hard and shed a lot of the weight. But as you can see in the above left picture, Taker still wasn't in excellent shape by 2002. He was big, sure, but he also hadn't managed to shed the gut. At some point in the mid-2000s he got serious and started hitting the gym hard. By 2007, he was more muscular than ever.

The Undertaker deserves a lot of credit for shaping up. As a locker room leader, he was an example to the rest of the roster. It was around 2007 that the quality of Undertaker's matches dramatically improved, too, as he had clearly also been working on his cardio as well as hitting the weights.
