There's been a lot of talk about Russian wrestlers in the Comments section from two days ago and I have to admit, I was not familiar with any of the names some of you mentioned : Ivan Gromov, Ivan Markov, Vladimir Kulakov. I tried to look for images of these wrestlers but it can be pretty difficult because a lot of the information coming out of Russian wrestling sites are written in Cyrillic. However, I lucked out by finding a few shots which I'll share below. First off, the wrestler some of you brought up: Ivan Gromov (at least I hope it's Gromov in all these pics, hard to tell because I'm not familiar with him).
Next, it's another Ivan. Ivan Morkov also called Lokomotiv.

And last but not the least, Vulkan (or maybe it's Vulcan). I'm not sure if he still wrestles; it would be a shame if he retired. If there are any sites you know of with more pics of these and other Russian beefcake wrestlers, please share them with us in the Comments section below. Thanks! (or Bolshoe Spasibo as they say in Russia.)
