Wolf From Gladiators Is Still Absolutely Ripped At The Age Of 63

"AND tonight folks, Barry from Stockport has the misfortune of facing the undisputed bad man of Gladiators in a game of Pyramid. THE WOLF MAN."

It was, and still the most iconic television program of all time. Wolf, Hunter, Rhino and Lightning among others became household names, giving Gladiators uncharted success for over 10 years. Oh, and we cannot forget referee John Anderson who somehow screamed "CONTENDERS READY, GLADIATORS READY" at the top of his lungs without fainting.

One of the names mentioned above was certainly the most controversial. Wolf, real name Michael Van Wijk, became one of the most recognised faces on television during the 90's.

His 'Mr Nasty' persona was met by constant booing and chants of 'another one bites the dust' but really, everyone absolutely loved his unforgettable antics.

25 years on from Gladiators, Wolf still remains in incredible shape, as he proudly shows of his impressive physique on Instagram.

Take a bow, 63-year-old WOLF:

Gladiators will always be one of the best programs ever.
