There's been much debate on bodybuilders turned wrestlers. Most claim that bodybuilders do not make good wrestlers. This claim is supported by many names: Lex Luger (decent but clumsy in the ring), Rob Terry (terrible in the ring), and Ultimate Warrrior (decent in the ring at best).
However, some names stand out as former bodybuilders who became pretty good or even great: Sting (one of the best wrestlers of all time), Bobby Lashley (pretty damn good wrestler), and Percy Watson (who yes, is annoying... but is good in the ring)
So my question to you is: Where do you stand on this? Do you think bodybuilders can make good wrestlers?

As long as they don't look like they're about to explode, or a Jersey Shore reject, I say go for it.

Actually Rob and Lex are good in the ring, but how they're perceived. Similar to Khali, he's great in the ring buuuut he's not allowed to do good moves. So yeah.

Yuke of XV Actually Rob and Lex are good in the ring, but how they're perceived. Similar to Khali, he's great in the ring buuuut he's not allowed to do good moves. So yeah. Khali killed a man while training (google that s**t) because he's a total klutz in the ring. Lex was good for about 5 years out of all his career, and I totally disagree with Rob Terry, he's atrocious

Lex was good til he went to WCW... Rob is good if they used him right, they aren't.

I mean, Mark Henry may be shite in the ring... but I dunno I kind of like him for some reason. Its weird

Dude, how can you not like Sexual Chocolate?
And, as to the issue itself, I'm neutral. Bodybuilding doesn't condemn you to a life of sucking, nor is it like pulling Excalibur from the stone. It's just an aspect about the person, no more, no less. You need a special something to be a wrestler, I think.

Because the gimmick sucked, his Silverback gimmick was probably his best thing going for him. Till Taker buried him. Now Henry is a ******** joke and shouldn't be allowed to wrestle or be on tv anymore.
