    the guy was stacked, like most were in that era of the mid 80's, a time my boys watched every wrestling match they could. Took them years to understand, this wasn't the wrestling I had long told them of my own (real) wrestling in high school, and JC. Entertainment #1, daring deathly dangerous painful moves no doubt, worse than the real thing, in many cases. To kids it is real as it gets.

    When I look at the last video of Snuka' physique, I've long wondered when Roids became commonplace in WWE, WCW, (prior to the world wildlife federation suing for their WWF name back). Roids obviously was used earlier in Body building, weight lifting, professional wrestling, long prior to roids becoming commonplace, rather used by a few in the NFL, prior to MLB, ie Lyle Alzado, Brian Bosworth...others I can't think of right now....
