As one of the many strong muscle bound wrestlers in the WWF during the 80’s, Hercules Hernandez still managed to stand out. Anyone with the moniker of “Hercules” better have the physique to back it up. Thankfully, that was not an issue for the man who gained his greatest fame as a member of the Bobby Heenan family.
George Woodin started his career late (at age 29) but once he did, he ustilized his natural athletic background from his days of football and amateur wrestling and became a superstar in the American South as Mr. Wrestling, a character he was born to play.
Often when you look the large men in wrestling you assume that they got into to Professional Wrestling just because when you are that big, it “makes sense” to do that. In the case of John Tenta, the big man was actually in wrestling all of his life.
Many times, wrestling promoters talk of someone who has the “look” of a wrestler. Looking back in the past twenty five years or so, it seems difficult to find anyone who had the designation more than Sid Eudy.
