Let's play a game. Can you guess the beefcake wrestler from their booty pic? I don't expect you to get all or even half the answers, but if you can identify even one, you're pretty good at this. Answers at the bottom of the post.
WWE's NXT franchise has seen scores of wrestlers go from the developmental stage to the big time. But for every wrestler that graduates to RAW or SMACKDOWN, there are many others who don't get signed (like Hugo Knox or Radomir Petkovic). Longtime contributor nd good friend of this blog David dug through his archives and pulled up some pics he took over the years of NXT beefcake. David says that back in the day before NXT matches were televised, the wrestlers would come out in their "independent wrestler" gear and look; no cartoony costumes, no bleached or dyed hair, and no flashy gimmicks. Thanks fro sharing your awesome work with us, David!

Longtime contributor and good friend of this blog David went through his vast collection of photos taken at various NXT events and put together this collection featuring Tye Dillinger, otherwise known as Shawn Spears during his days as a wrestler on the independent circuit. Thanks, David, for these great shots of Tye/Shawn! Watch an excerpt of Dillinger's 2017 cage match against Eric Young here and his 2016 match against Alex Riley here.
