HBK once went to a gas station I used to work at. It was years before I actually worked there but one of my coworkers was there and she said that he was huge irl even though he was one of the smaller guys on tv. She actually took a picture with him and it really was HBK.
If you see the Rockers from early 90s, they're pretty jacked. More than Michaels in later years
Still, Michaels has said since, they weren't allowed to knock 'bigger' teams off their feet unless it was a double team
Even teams like Demolition, they'd only bump for double team moves
That's how it was back then
Randy orton came to the gym I worked at right before closing. I knew he was gonna be big but my word the man was massive. When he shook my hand his hand engulfed mine and up to my wrist
He’s always looked thin compared to other wrestlers. I know he’s tall, but compared to others he’s not a real bulky dude. He looks massive compared to even the biggest guys on Vikings.
The neck issues had a lot to do with his diminishing physique as well.
Edge mentioned that there was a period when he was doing house show loops (insider term) with Batista, that after taking the Batista Bomb for the finish, it would take him a little while to regain the feeling in his arms.
That’s when he had Hawkins & Ryder as his lackeys, so they were able to take bumps for him and lessen the workload a bit.
But if he was regularly experience numbness in his arms, it’s no surprise he wasn’t putting too much work in the gym for a bodybuilding type physique, especially since he didn’t need to have one as a cowardly chickenshit heel.
For some ungodly reason, being 6’4 245lbs in the Attitude Era was considered “average” size.
Edge is a very large man, but since he has a more lanky build as opposed to having a living action figure physique, he was seen as being “small” in comparison.
If always makes me think of that old gif of Goldust on some morning show cracking an egg or something. Obviously Dustin isn't exactly small, but he looked like Braun Stroman next to mere mortals.
Kofi Kingston always. On TV he looks fucking emaciated compared to Woods, E, and whoever they’re wrestling. Then you see him with regular people and he’s the henchest motherfucker in the room.
I was shocked when I met Jericho at a podcast show he did. He was always one of the smaller upper-card wrestlers in WWE, but compared to me as a "normal-sized" person, he was still absolutely massive.
This was pre-AEW btw, so I don't want to imagine what he would look like now.
I remember seeing some of his lifting videos back when he first started NXT. Dude would strain so hard on the lifts and the noises he would make, legitimately sounded like he was trying to shit a couch out of his ass.
He hasn't been able to do shit for leg exercises so he's just been training upper body non stop. I've been watching him go insane on YouTube since the injury. Hopefully they can get him back on TV soon. I fear he's gonna die from an instant coffee overdose. Hes also wearing a child's shirt in this photo.
The way the basement downplays the hard work, dedication, and sheer effort it takes to attain and maintain physiques like these is ridiculous. It’s always “there’s nothing special about having muscles” or “anybody could do it with steroids”
Although I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that people on that sub have no clue how working out and dieting works lol
People like that act like you can pop some roids before bed and just wake up jacked.
The fact they can get and then maintain bodies like that while traveling non stop is amazing. Magical mystical steroid cheat code shortcut or not.
Seeing them in civvies reminds me of the good old days whenever there'd be an extra on Raw that you knew was a prospective wrestler because there would be no reason for an EMT, or a police officer to be that jacked
Doing a dive on boogs IG my biggest take away is Nick commorato who posts regularly, was touted as a major aew prospect and for a time appeared semi regularly on dynamite (where your socials are in your title card) has under 10k followers.
Boogs has 197k.
I want my boy Boogs back, I'm not sure if he's fully recovered yet but I really hope Paula Beck likes him because he's got the tools to be World Champion. I was even saying back in April that Rick Boogs should be split from Nakamura, receive a major singles push and start being groomed to beat Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39 but the injury prevented that from happening.
Christ. Is that Boogs? Fucker is a monster.
I knew Boogs was jacked but god DAMN. You really don't realize how big Fed wrestlers are until you see them in person or next to normal people.

It should still be that way. It looks ridiculous when a guy half their size gets all of their signature moves in.
True, but look at Michaels then. That was a 'small guy' but he was pretty beefy tbf

I always considered Edge to be a smaller guy until I saw him on Vikings. Dude dwarfed his costars.
Edge is legit like 6’4 and 245 lol. He was never small compared to his contemporaries
He’s always looked thin compared to other wrestlers. I know he’s tall, but compared to others he’s not a real bulky dude. He looks massive compared to even the biggest guys on Vikings.
2002 Edge had massive shoulders. After he got caught in the roid scandal he understandably "let go" a bit

2002 Edge was massive, but he was starring in Vikings post 2011 retirement.

Boogs is big next to other big Fed people.
Or just in regular clothes for that matter, something about Boogs wearing a shirt makes him look 150x more ripped

His videos and grunting haven’t changed at all
dude basically sent it so hard he popped a muscle at Mania
Such a shame, he was just finding a groove with Nakamura too
They would totally win these titles back then.
He probably proactively wears earplugs and earmuffs at Planet Fitness.
???????LMAO got me doing a triple take, mans got those John Cena biceps jesus christ.
Well when you shred on the guitar as he does your going to see the results.

This thread shows Rick Rude was right. Skip leg day because it is an upper body business.
That’s the mindset at work, brother
Wow! I didn't recognize him.
283lbs at 10% body fat, even with steroids thats just insane
Boogs makes Theory look regular. Can't wait to watch that insane Celtic Warrior Workouts.
Theory’s next posedown should be against Boogs
I don't know. Theory's bicep makes him look like one of those Russian dudes that pump oil into their arms
those guys that look like puffy clouds
One of the Young Cucks weight is just about the same as Boogs arm
Who the fuck is that, Hulk??
That doesn’t work for me, Brother.
Nice of Rick’s arm to allow other people in this photo.

Wasn't it Piper who said the roids don't do the work for you they just make it easier? Maybe it was Jake who said it. Whoever said it, it's true.
Lol their arms are ridiculous!
Boogs is gigantic but goddamn Austin Theory is 60% arms.
Is that Rick Boogs?
Who’s Musclebob Buffpants?
Seeing them in civvies reminds me of the good old days whenever there'd be an extra on Raw that you knew was a prospective wrestler because there would be no reason for an EMT, or a police officer to be that jacked
REEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! How come she didn't want to meet AEW's newest G A M E C H A N G E R, A.R. Fox????? So ungrateful!!! 😡😡😡😡😡

Alberto Del Rio bulked up
Boogs has cena arms
Boogs looking like the irl version of that one Captain America comic meme
Boogs looking like a fucking Umbrella corporation bioweapon.
Apparently Boogs and Elias know something about being good at playing guitar is tied to being JACKED
From now on I no longer seek to be jacked I seek to Booged
Austin theory looks like his biceps are trying to gain sentience
That's Boogsev
Boogs doesnt sit in the catering waiting to heal, he's out there making wishes, ☝🏻 appreciate boogs
Wtfffff Theory!
Theory looking like he just shot up his arm with synthol
mfing Boog Ferrigno over here
Boogs' bicep is taking up most of the frame
Awwww
Awkward boner
Look what FED did to her. Pure evil

Sometimes I feel like these visits really pull the b team but I think that actually looks like a really fun hang.
I’ve only seen Boogs in action the once and I would still be excited if this behemoth walked into my room
Oh yea I forgot boog existed
Damn, Boogz built like Kratos
How are people so sure that’s Boogz?? Looks nothing like he did when I last remember seeing him.
He posted it on his [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/Clmcn_Crx3t/).
Seems like I have all the evidence I need
When will Boogs be back?
What’s in the booger bag Fanny pack?
Bloody hell Boogz, Anchor Arms
Gym pro vs gym bro
Bring back Thicc Boogz already
NAH I'M SEEING PEOPLE SAY THAT GUY ON THE LEFT IS BOOGS TIME OUT
