While most wrestlers don’t have amazing physiques up to bodybuilding standards (with the exception of a few), you might be surprised to find out some pro wrestlers actually started out as bodybuilders.

YouTube channel Nick’s Strength and Power put together this video showcasing the shredded goodness that The Great Khali once possessed before stepping into the wrestling ring. Check it out above.
