Andrew could hold his own I think. He would catch his opponent off guard by asking, "what's on your mind?" They'd start to answer and then BAM, Callahan would give 'em the stone cold stunner.

as a fellow UKanian living in the USA, this thread is bringing up all sorts of old memories of when channel 5 was new and couldnt afford half-decent programming.
after 9pm it'd be softcore porn and during the day it was all "was hitler gay?" documentaries.
(Ive been in USA since 06)
edit - oh crap its not the UK channel 5. ignore me everyone

Mariusz Pudzianowski did a few MMA fights but he had to slim down considerably.

If you guys want a full doc on the bodybuilding scene, while a bit dated, I do recommend Louis Theroux's coverage:

Louis Theroux: Bodybuilding - Documentarytube.com
The episode focused on the US body-building world, and there were plenty of interesting things to uncover. From women’s fetish videos to specialty wrestling video producers, Louis Theroux had a great time investigating this peculiar subculture. His curiosity led him to dig deeper into its...

I would recommend the Rogue Legends Series:

I'm guessing you weren't alive around the 1980s - 1990s Strongman events, as there were plenty of great characters back then, especially in the 80s with people like Bill Kazmaier, Jón Páll Sigmarsson and Geoff Capes to name a few.

These guys have terrible mobility and would gas 30 seconds into a fight. They cant even get out of bed in the morning without being in terrible pain
It's such an extreme and unhealthy lifestyle
Not at all comparable
