"Never make your body your gimmick" - Scott Hall

[@brandocalrissian3294]

Mick Foley really misunderstood that one.

[@teddyclark9738]

​@@brandocalrissian3294 I know with all those good looks and muscles on top of muscles LOL, bang bang you know that something Mick would say

I can't believe 2005 is almost 20 years ago.

[@charliecavuto4557]

about 18 years ago he debuted... just recently watched that raw

Oh jesus 😳

[@marvingamez9057]

Go away. We don’t need that negativity.

[@izzy3166]

Indeed.

[@Meatman8089]

I identify himself as a "imma master lock the shit out of this tree and throw it thru a window to save momma" kind of guy.

[@breakablehate2207]

Loll

[@tg9780]

Wasn’t that his gimmick backstory? Lol

[@Meatman8089]

@tg9780 I don't know. IIRC it happened after he got future endeavored.

[@vampire361]

I’m an independent wrestler, and I’ve heard from other who’ve been around him that he’s a huge mama’s boy. He loves his mother and doesn’t care who knows. ❤

[@chisomibezim1481]

He's a real one for that and that's an understatement

[@DanielEllis__]

He deserves another run in WWE, his stuff in NWA is great.

[@K4RxC4LCULATED]

WWE isn't what it once was. Now it won't help his career

It’s pretty easy to look good in nwa when the call your mama guy is world champion.

[@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266]

WWE is going down the drain. Now that Vince has sold it to the saudis, it will go back to being like in the 80s, and it will bring back retirees like Hogan, Goldberg, Taker, Flair, Nash, Michaels, Austin, etc just for starpower since they lack that from the current roster (except for Lesnar). Every TV episode and PPV will be like Super ShowDown from now on.

[@rileychev]

​@@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266you can't say that when Drew sold out a stadium for WWE's fastest ever selling ticket. Roman is the biggest draw in the business breaking records every year, bigger manias and regular ppvs. You don't know what you're talking about, everything is more accessible now but Roman, Bobby, Brock, Becky, Ronda, Bianca, Orton, Cena, Rollins are all draws for the company. It's not just TV anymore. These can draw.

[@glitzcomet3784]

Bro hes still huge wtf

[@crastonmcsandwich3440]

Dude says 265 isn't "muscle bound" just "athletic." What a chad

[@TheButTickler]

When lots of guys get off steroids, their bodies just fall apart and they don’t look the same. He looks amazing, definitely putting in the work

[@MR12AMAZING]

He's still on steroids. Just different amounts

[@Robert-tl3eb]

Chris has that Shawn Michaels hair. loveeee it

[@insignificantaftermathPROJECTS]

He sounds so similar to Orton and HBK and someone else that I cant put my finger on..

[@JS21810]

RVD a little

[@shaneomacdaddy]

He also looked similar to that Orton back 18 years ago when he debuted in the WWE.

[@dizziblaine1]

​@@JS21810 yup

[@MossiahAce091]

Masters & Orton are friends

[@mgtocrateezspeaks3971]

Big Show

[@BullShifter]

His face hasn't aged a day or changed at all. Physiques can change quicker than people believe. A few diet changes and alterations to your workout plan can help you become bulkier or leaner.

[@dalinkwentk9180]

no he had to get off the juice. thats why wwe fired him

[@alanjones5959]

I would say 240-250 at best is his real weight now.

[@arielvega6344]

That's still impressive. How old is he? Like 40, and some change?

[@alanjones5959]

@@arielvega6344 yes sir he said he was 260 I just doubt that. He’s a wrestler they can’t tell the truth anyway but heck yes he’s extremely impressive for any age.

I was just gonna comment why is he lying about his weight??? LOL no way is he only 15 pounds less

[@MainStreamRegimeDemocrats]

​@@alanjones5959exactly

Not even that, he looks about 220.

[@ZackaryEdgerton]

I could see him and Elias as a tag team like a modern day Rockers

[@booboo7502]

Genuinely crazy how different 15 lbs of muscle can look on a frame. He’s always been in incredible shape. The leaner (I use that lightly cause he’s still huge!) looks better on him, imo.

[@Just.Kidding]

Yeah no that's more than 15lbs lmao. His _billed_ weight might have only dropped by 15, but billed height/weight are total fantasy anyway

[@charleswilson4526]

They should have played this guy as Gaston 😂

[@jamesrevere2992]

He was never 275 and he sure as hell is not 260 now

[@dalinkwentk9180]

nah when he was on juice he had to be a legit 275. 260 now though is bs😂

[@jamesrevere2992]

@@dalinkwentk9180not even close to 275 lol that was his billed weight, if he was legit 275 they would put him at 290-295.

[@Damian_702]

I remember going to a show when he was still in WWE and I went to the area where you could see them entering the building and possibly get autographs and he was the first to autograph my stuff 😁 Nice guy. Cena also surprisingly came over to sign stuff but he had to go before coming to me 😭 lol

[@Themselveswhy]

I think he would make a great actor he has the look he has the charisma. I don't know if he can act but he doesn't have to be the leading man right away

Dude looks healthy, and I like to see someone bring the mullet back. 🤣

[@techfall1142]

he was one of my favs., and Buff is the stuff. I wish both got way bigger than they did.

[@navtektv]

His entrance for a non made man in WWE was pretty dope. It also helps that he was working around my favorite time in Wrestling. He wasn't ready for the big leagues then, boasting arrogant heel worked but it wasn't over enough to get him title opportunities. If he gets a chance to go back I think he could be a bigger star. But thankfully these days WWE isn't the be all end all of Professional wrestling in North America like it used to be so I wouldn't be sad to see him go to AEW as well. He can definitely make some waves.

[@charlescraft5582]

Dude just gave a pretty good Rushmore

[@Kenocreates]

He was a real Ascended Super Saiyan 🥲

[@dominiccampbell181]

Now, he looks like someone Vince would push as a top mid card guy, multiple ic and us title reigns, who might get a world title shot or run depending how he performed.

Chris Masters was awesome in the Ruthless Aggression era. Too bad Vince didn't seem to appreciate him.

[@radioVHS149]

Because Vince was finally off his obsession with roided giants in favor of lighter much athletic guys.. just look at the guys that were prominent on the roster in the ruthless agression era... Even Big Show did jobs all the time and cruiserweights like Eddy Guerrero having their way with monsters like Brock Lesnar and Mark Jindrak

[@dalinkwentk9180]

Vince didnt want another steroid scandal.

[@conor1666]

I remember always doing the master lock on my siblings that finisher was brilliant

[@JPR-6101]

Yeah he is more athletic and being able to use his strength more efficiently but have a more range in his moveset beside muscle so that is good to hear from him.

[@bcube.]

He sounds like Big Show

[@bensonvirtucio3926]

They should bring him back dammit

[@Kingmight-vg4fq]

Holy smokes I would have never guessed this was him

[@2Good2BeTrue45]

I want him to go back to WWE. I would even love for him to go to NXT and absolutely destroy everybody and win the NXT Championship. He's morr than good enough to go right back to the main roster and win the world title but while Roman is dominating that scene, I would love for Masters to absolutely run the NXT scene as a monster Greek God and go on the run he should have back in 2007 and then eventually use that momentum to re debut on the main roster as a main eventer ready to challenge Roman

[@Cam-zv1jq]

Iys the mullet that fucks him up!!!

[@jaysco5257]

Not a bad MT. RUSHMORE. Hennig, Bret, HBK, Flair.

[@IAWIA5]

The fact that the WWE never put a single title on him still boggles my mind, he should have been an IC champion at the very least. He was red hot in 2005-06 and if they had pulled the trigger on him, could have been one of the top heels in the company for years
