A reader of this blog emailed me to ask who the beefcake in the masthead photo is. Regrettably, I didn't have the answer to his question; I told him I came across the photo on a wrestling site about a couple of years ago, but the wrestler in question was not identified. Wanting to know the answer, the reader,
musclemanfan_nz, reposted the image on
The Musclemen of Wrestling message board and asked if anyone could identify him. Lo and behold,
Dr. Fever provided the answer and
ontmusc confirmed it; the mystery man in the masthead appears to be one Nick Dinsmore. Now if that name is familiar to you, it's because Dinsmore became more well-known as WWE's Eugene (yes,
that Eugene). Who knew Eugene had a slammin' bod when he was part of the Ohio Valley Wrestling promotion? Let's take a look at some pics.
