you guys have hit most of the ones that I was thinking about. Edge being the biggest example that I can think of.
Undertakers look has changed a lot too since his debut, but I guess you have to take age into consideration when looking at someone liker Taker and HHH. They have been around for years.

I know that he was on steriods for a while, but I would say you can attribute a portion of this to what a guy looks like in his mid/late twenties to what that same guy looks like in his mid/late thirties. Same thing with Jericho. |

I think Orton's change in appearance was down to getting off steroids back in 2007. For sure. I remember watching No Way Out 2008 and there's a part where Orton's kneepads kinda fall down...and his lower legs look like twigs. The comedown from his debut juice was really obvious. |

I know Orton's change really caught my eye. The guy was really buff in 2007 and now he's just real thin.

it usually narrows down to 2 things:
1. Age
2. On/Off Steroids

I thought off Jericho right away. I guess it has a lot to do with age and how hard they work out.
I don't really think it is possible for Edge to have Morrison abs but I guess some more crunches would help.

Triple H, in the past year or so, has become REALLY defined in his arms, whereas before they were either bulky/smooth, or lean and ripped (2002). His pecs are definitely drooping though - I mean check out that one pic posted earlier. Jeez.
He still has that blocky physique he's had since about 2003, but at least he lost the gut somewhat.
Another that really stands out is Orton. He's defined now, but it seems like he's relying on genetics or something to get him along. He better get into a gym quick, he's really slimming down. Not only that but he's constantly hunching over and flexing his abs - anyone notice that?

A few guys who I've noticed over the years:
Undertaker: has lost 20-25lbs that he was carrying around his waist in the 90s
HBK-- Worst shape of his career in '93, '94, best shape '97-'98. Far too skinny now but that is preferable to doing 'roids.
Kurt Angle- injuries have piled up, making it hard for him to work out properly. Has lost about 40lbs of solid muscle. Looks old now.
Rikishi- is getting almost as big as Yokozuna. He's got to be over 450lbs now.
Roddy Piper- good shape most of his career, ripped body around '94 (probably roiding), now has an old man's body. He's been through a lot with the cancer so I can't fault him for not paying too much attention to how he looks in the mirror.
Ric Flair, Jake Roberts- saggy, old man bodies as well.
Scott Steiner- looked good as a member of the Steiner Bros. Looks like a freak as Big Poppa Pump. I'm very scared for his health.
Big Show- looked great in WCW. Got too heavy around '06. Doesn't look as good as he did in '08 but far better than he once did. His body secreted growth hormones until he was 31 so I imagine staying thin is almost impossible for him. He doesn't look like his lifting much these days either. His upper torso is smaller than it once was.
Abdullah the Butcher-gets fatter every time I see him but is very active despite being almost 70. He must have a heart like steel.
Samoa Joe- never had a great body but could stand to lose about 20lbs these days.
Adrian Adonis- probably gained 50-70lbs over the course of his career.
Andre The Giant- his disease caused his skeleton to start collapsing under the weight of his body. He was so heavy that he could barely move by '82 or so.

Samoa Joe- never had a great body but could stand to lose about 20lbs these days. That was a funny moment. TNA does well by not letting everyone rip on Joe for his weight so that when it does happen, it stays fresh. When it happens too much (like HHH constantly making jokes about Show's gut) it comes off like a kid who can't think of anything more creative to say. I thought it would have been really funny for Joe to counter the Steiner promo by saying, "Well, he sticks a needle in his booty" but I'm pretty sure TNA would have gotten POed. ;D |

Once that skin around the chest is stretched out to a certain point, it doesn't rebound. |

20-25 lbs really doesn't show much on a guy who is really tall, like 6'3" or above (unless he is very lean and doing fitness muscle competitions), especially if they didn't even go shirtless (Undertaker). 20-25 lbs shows a lot more on a much shorter guy, obviously.

Are we talking steroids and HGH (Growth Hormone) as the same thing?

Christian really cut down a lot of weight during his late TNA run

That is true. I never noticed that Undertaker had a bit of a gut until he lost it. |

Undertaker looks like a hillbilly farmer in that picture.
