Why did wrestlers go from looking superhero characters to looking like random dudes?

There’s plenty of dudes who look like wrestlers. The problem is they’re either old or short.

Because wrestling died and the vast majority of people who get into the industry now are dorks playing cosplay wrestler aka losers..and the ones who actually do belong are just buried because it's 2024 and faggots need to be shoved down people's throats because agendas

Big wrestlers aren't relatable to Tony Khan and make him fear for his life

Wrestling always had guys that looked like 'just dudes'. Bruno Sammartino and Bob Backlund were well respected in their time and they looked like just dudes.

Wrestling became lame and gay so cool dudes stopped wanting to be wrestlers. Lame gay nerds filled the void. And here we are.

Backlund wasn't a roidmonkey but I wouldn't call him "just a dude" either. He looked like somebody who could fight and absolutely mogs the manlet twinks and skinnyfat geeks of today.

Harley race was the epitome of just some dude and it’s amazing to me that 100 years later people are still getting worked by the most obvious rib in history that he was at all tough or strong in any way.

They rarely were. Pro wrestlers being bodybuilders is a Vince McMahon creation.

Respectfully, you're wrong on this one.

Shane Helms was the one guy I can remember who looked like just a dude, and he was booked just like that.

There are quite a few guys who look like this, and loads and loads of guys that look like successful modern boxers/MMA fighter, ie cut manlets or skinny fat shitters

Still tougher looking than the entire AEW roster. And about 95% of the WWE roster at this point.

Everyone ignores strength training because it's physically and mentally hard and makes you sore. They also wrongly believe you need steroids to put on muscle when it's mostly eating right and following a disciplined bulk-cut diet cycle to accompany your training

Backlund was truly fuck-you-strong.
Calisthenics don't make you look as big as it makes you physically strong, but fuck me does it make you strong.
Backlund could deadlift a guy with one arm.
