“I just have the type of personality where, if somebody challenges me, I have to act on it, I have to do it, I have to excel at it,” Dykstra said. “I never say never.”
Doane went on to win several competitions, but fitness is just one of the many ventures he has taken on in the last decade.
He has released a children’s book, played football at Nichols College while pursuing an MBA and MSOL dual master’s degrees, and helped children on the Autism spectrum as a lead behavior technician at the Autism Behavioral Center.
At the same time, Doane has also been sharing bodybuilding tips and inspiring others to pursue their fitness goals, first on his online forum and then on social media.
“The more you can do the more valuable you become,” read one of his Instagram posts from 2020 that also showed off his ripped body.
“The more believable you are the longer you can do it.”
Former WWE star talks body transformation after championship
EX-WWE star Kenny Dykstra’s body has changed a great deal since his days as the World Tag Team champion, but what has not changed is his desire to be the best version of himself – and help others do the same.
Dykstra, real name Kenneth Doane, trained under the supervision of the late Killer Kowalski before breaking into the WWE.
He gained fame as part of the Spirit Squad, an all-male cheerleading wrestling stable.
While being involved in the Vince McMahon-Shawn Michaels feud, the group won the WWE World Tag Team title in 2006, beating Big Show and Kane on Raw.
Later that year, the group disbanded and Doane adopted the Kenny Dykstra moniker in a nod to MLB star Lenny Dykstra.
“I think somebody called me fat one day, so I just got on the treadmill and never stopped,” he said.

Booker T sobbed during WWE match
In December, two-time Hall of Famer Booker T broke down in tears after Roxanne Perez beat Zoey Stark, Cora Jade, Kiana James and Indi Hartwell in the inaugural Iron Survivor Challenge match.
As a result of Perez’s win, SportsKeeda reported that she will likely fight Mandy Rose for a shot at the NXT Women’s Championship.
It seems that all of this was too much for Booker T, who had trained Perez.
