15 Hilarious Photos Of Female WWE Wrestlers Before They Got Their Big Break
Whether it be their unbelievably muscular physiques, their incredible height or somewhat disturbing excess bodyweight, big guys always found a spot on the card simply due to how physically imposing they were. Rather than having can't-miss monsters that almost feel like circus attractions, large North American companies in the likes of WWE and WCW opted to showcase beauty and grace in the early 90s before the inclusion of ECW brought about an era of downright degradation. Though women's wrestling has drastically changed from those days to now, the theme for successful female wrestlers has remained the same: small. However, history features a cast of women who have been able to find success as genuine monsters of the ring. Much like the male powerhouses of yesteryear, these women have physical presences that make you stop and stare in awe.
Goofy grins, freckles, embarrassing duck lips, acne; every single one of us experienced at least two of those mortifying attributes while growing up. Teenage years are arguably the worst. Going through this stage in the spotlight is unthinkable but is something many young celebrities have to endure. They were free to get goofy with their friends and were not ashamed at being childish when it was considered cooler to be grown. However, growing up in a time of extreme social media and internet capabilities, those excruciating and hilarious pre-fame moments can still be found years later.
Being in shape was not their strong suit. These wrestlers used or still use their smarts, personality and just plain bulk to get their way in the ring. Let's just be honest about this—these wrestlers were or are FAT. They never shied away from the dinner table and staying in shape may not have been their strong suit. Heck, some of them, well most of them, used the weight and and size as part of their gimmick and success.
