Decades-old Rare Photo of Ronnie Coleman Shows Triple H Giving Him a Run for His Money With Equally Big Biceps

Stars from pro wrestling and the world of bodybuilding have often crossed paths. WWE even inducted Arnold Schwarzenegger, a bodybuilding legend, into their Hall of Fame. Another bodybuilding legend who held more Mr. Olympia titles than Arnold had his fair share of interaction with WWE superstars.

Ronnie Coleman, who won the Mr. Olympia title 8-times in a row, has often appeared in the media alongside some famous WWE names.

While bodybuilding has seen some of the best muscle men, WWE has had its own share of wrestlers with physiques to boast about. In his prime, WWE star Triple H had a ripe physique and was one of the most well-built wrestlers of his generation.

A rare photo also shows Triple H nearly measuring up to Coleman in terms of biceps size.

Many WWE wrestlers in the past, like Hogan, have matched or even beaten the biceps size of bodybuilders like Arnold and Coleman. In this photo, Triple H can be seen almost matching up to the iconic bodybuilder, which is quite impressive.

And while Coleman is a full-fledged bodybuilder, Triple H gave him a run for his money when comparing biceps. Both Triple H and Coleman have been legends in their industries and inspired a million others across the world.

Interestingly, Triple H was featured in a segment with another bodybuilding legend, Arnold Schwarzenegger, on an episode of SmackDown in 1999. On the show, McMahon presented the “World Box Office Championship” to Arnold, who then laid out Triple H after a few punches.

Coleman’s numerous surgeries

The impressive bodybuilding career of Ronnie Coleman took its toll on him. He has had to deal with many significant injuries to his spine and hip. All these injuries have required extensive surgical procedures and Coleman has gone under the knife 13-times to date.

Moreover, he has had 14 screws, two rods, and two cages fitted inside his body as of today. During these times, he endured many painful moments, including the time when the screws broke inside him four times.

Despite all the surgeries and doctors’ advice, Coleman continues to train regularly in the gym, keeping his body fit, and that is one reason many have so much admiration for him.
