Damn good match, smart finish, although Del Rio still doesn’t feel like a top level babyface yet. And with Show hogtied, the ref counts him down and out at 16:54.

Del Rio stays on the arm with it and they head back in for the armbar, while Ricardo tapes Show’s feet to the bottom rope. I wish they’d retire the chair as a weapon sometimes. Show charges and goes through the timekeeper’s cubicle, and Del Rio just unloads with some nasty chairshots. Del Rio wisely runs away from that, so Show throws stairs at him and beats the shit out of Ricardo as well. Alberto is up at 9, so I guess he’s OK, and they head back to the ring again so Show can set up for the finish. I’m shocked he didn’t break his neck there. Show uses some pieces of the set for more punishment and gets the table, and they fight onto a suspended setpiece before Del Rio gets chucked through the table at an UGLY angle, a shoulder bump that bounces his head off the concrete. Show continues the attack, so Del Rio kicks him in the nuts for the 9 count. Show comes back with a chokeslam on the chair, and Del Rio is up at 9 off that before bailing to the floor. Show grabs a chair, but that goes badly for him when Del Rio gets it and beats him down with it. Show counters out of the armbar with a samoan drop, and that turns the tide.

Show blocks the Si Kick, but Del Rio reverses a powerbomb into a rana and goes up with a senton to put Show down for 4. Show throws chops to start and tosses him around the ring, but Del Rio goes for the knee to bring him down. Hopefully we won’t get the Tijuana Screwjob out of it. So now we’ve got the new Ric Flair and the new Bret Hart, apparently. The Big Showīret Hart stops by to endorse ADR backstage, which has Ricardo giggling like a smitten schoolgirl.

World title, Last Man Standing: Alberto Del Rio v. Whilst he may take in enough food to feed a regular family of four, the protein is required to ensure his muscles get the nutrients they need.Īfter following such a vigorous routine, it’s no surprise that The Rock is approaching 50 in better shape than ever.Your hosts are Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler and JBL "It’s a real science that takes months and months to dial it all in with my strength and conditioning coach who keeps a very watchful eye, constantly fine tuning our strategy daily.” Manipulating water, sodium, cardio but also having to push and pull real iron to have dense, dry, detailed muscle. Writing on Instagram: “Been working extremely hard dieting, training, and conditioning unlike any other role of my entire career. His next major role sees him become the superhero Black Adam and he is putting pressure on himself to look better than ever before despite being 49 years-of-age. When he’s not in training it is thought he still consumes around five meals a day. He was cast as Hercules in 2013 which saw his body become his most important aspect once more.ĭuring this time, he was said to have eaten close to 7 protein-rich meals a day in preparation meaning he consumed 4,131 calories a day – more than twice the recommended average for men. In 2011, he returned to WWE to guest host WrestleMania before wrestling John Cena in 2012. However, it wasn’t until 2010 during preparations for the last instalment of The Fast and The Furious that Johnson began beefing up. His working out addiction comes for his father, Rocky Johnson, who held a similar mentality. It is a widely held belief that he was closer to, if not 275Ibs during his return and his initial run was more likely around 250-260Ibs.īoasting his own mobile gym, known as ‘Iron Paradise, The Rock is sure to fit a workout in regardless of how bust his schedule is and often works out at 4am to ensure he gets a lift session in before filming. Weighing in at 275Ibs during his millennium prime, he was billed at the same weight during his 2011 despite being much bulkier at the time. Reaching the top of the WWE mountain at just 26 years-of-age, the Brahma Bull went on to become a 10-time world champion, five-time Tag Team champion, and two-time intercontinental champion before he exited the ring in 2003, or 2004 if you count his WrestleMania 20 return.
