Old-School Beefcake: The Dicks

Anyone remember WWE tag team The Dicks? I don't. Turns out "brothers" James and Chad Dick were released by WWE five months after they made their Smackdown debut in October 2005. Prior to that, Tank Toland and Chad Wicks wrestled as The Blond Bombers/Toland Brothers in WWE's developmental territory OhioValley Wrestling (OVW).  According to this 2020 article, after being released by WWE, Toland "continued his wrestling career for awhile wrestling for independent groups and Ring of Honor." He is currently a lifeguard on beach patrol in the Southern New Jersey area. His former partner Wicks "dabbled in Mixed Martial Arts, did she modeling, and now works as a water distributor in his hometown in Iowa." Watch them in this 2005 match

  1. Yes, I remember them, and the unfortunate name the WWE chose, signalling that the tag team was not to be taken seriously. They were better known as the "Tolands," before and after WWE, with Tank Toland being much more famous than Chad, esp. in OVW. Glad they are doing okay outside wrestling. Anon.

  2. More beefcake that would have fit in perfectly with BG East’s iconic fantasymen series! Hot, cocky, muscle stripping studs! Agree with the other comment too. These musclemen should have stripped down to posing trunks ;)
