WWE Looks At Wrestlers’ Bodybuilding Past, Tony Schiavone Doing Rare Autograph Signing

– Multiple WWE Superstars and Divas, including WWE Champion John Cena, Triple H and The Great Khali, have tried their hand at competitive bodybuilding in the past. The official WWE website has published an article recalling their claim to fame in this arena.

 


 

Before entering the field of professional wrestling, John Cena competed in bodybuilding competitions from the ages of 18 to 22 in the Yankee Classic in Massachusetts, as well as the Natural Iron Man and Natural Santa Monica Classic in California. The 11-time WWE Champion, however, admits that industry wasn’t “really wasn’t for [him].”

He adds, “However, it kept me disciplined. It kept my nutrition regimented. That’s what I take away from it. It got me used to regimenting my nutrition to eat for performance.”

Cena personally feels the dietary regiment necessary for competitive bodybuilding is too difficult, especially since he enjoys eating.

“It’s a 24/7 gig,” said Cena. “Packing your food, bringing it everywhere and worrying about every calorie you intake … I love food too much.”

– Former WCW announcer Tony Schiavone, who currently serves as a play-by-play broadcaster for the minor league baseball team Gwinnett Braves, will participate in a rare autograph signing on Saturday, June 1, alongside WWE Hall of Famer George “The Animal” Steele and former WWE wrestler Justin Credible.
