Since reading the thread about Hogan and the stories accociated with pro wrestlers, I was wondering if anyone knew exactly how strong some of them were/are? Has anyone here personally witnessed them working out? Just curious as to some bench/squat/deadlift numbers if anyone knows.
Thanks!
Wasn't it "Olympic Strongman Ken Patera"?
Scott "Flash" Norton
Ken Patera was a world strongest man competitor back in the 70's/80's
Mark Henry was a olympian powerlifter.
Bill Kazmaier
No doubt
wow 10 years later and guys are benching over 1000 lbs. Albeit not wrasslers tho.
David Arquette - World champion
Lil' Spike Dudley, IMO.
or maybe Gillberg
I am pretty sure Ken Patera also competed in the Olympics, but I could be wrong. I remember him doing the Worlds Strongest Man comps
my friend knows everything there is to know about pro wrestling... hes the trivia king...

What about some of the bigger names in the sport - the big guys, like The Big Show, Batista, etc? Anyone know how much they put up?

Not as much as Kaz
Patera looks like a child next to Kaz and Kaz won WSM many times not just competed in it.
When did Kaz wrestle?
Nathan Jones
Kaz
Mark Henry
Brock Lesner? (running with logs and shit)
Kaz would have been the strongest wrestler ever, of course.
"Mark Henry was a olympian powerlifter."
Powerlifting is not an Olympic sport. Henry was an Olympic weightlifter.
The first picture looks like hockey legend Bobby Orr and teammate Carol Vadnais that Andre's carrying.
