Most of the wrestling section simply is simply telling me these women are muscular.

* Wrestling/BethPhoenix embodies this trope. She\\\'s nicknamed \\\"The Glamazon.\\\"
* Wrestling/TrishStratus and Torrie Wilson were both rather famous fitness models before getting involved in pro wrestling.
* Nitro Girl Fyre (Teri Byrne) was a fitness competitor before joining the Nitro Girls and had light but noticeable muscles. She also worked fitness competition moves like straddle lifts and one-armed pushups into her dance routines.
* When your really get down to it, most of the WWE Divas fit this to a certain degree. While they\\\'re frequently criticized for being all looks and no talent, a lot of people noticed when actress and TV host MariaMenounos appeared in the ring, she looked downright sickly standing next to the likes of Gail Kim, Alicia Fox, and Kelly Kelly. Even though none of them are known for being exceptionally buff, they were obviously more muscular and athletic than Menounos was, and no less sexy for it.
* Although Wrestling/{{Chyna}} started out as a sometimes portrayed as a Brawn Hilda, she quickly became perceived this trope for many fans, and this increased after several plastic surgeries (a set of breast implants and having her jaw reconstructed) and as DGenerationX turned {{Face}}. At the height of her popularity she posed for Playboy, and that issue set records for sales.



These two entries are overly long. The troper who added them has told me they intend to shorten them but that was a while ago so I\\\'m gonna put them here for anyone else.

Leela and Amy aren\\\'t the only competitors who get juiced on Nectar, but most of the other women are more \\\"toned\\\" than \\\"built,\\\" barring [[OpposingSportsTeam Leela and Amy\\\'s rivals, Tank and Truck of the Murderflies]] (who still aren\\\'t quite as big or defined; this is in spite of them buying out the remainder of the Nectar and consuming it to get a leg up on Leela and Amy). None of the Butterfly Derby competitors are seen as ugly per se (early on, Professor Farnsworth even matter-of-factly remarks, \\\"I love a stalwart female physique as much as the next guy, but...\\\"); the turn-off for the men (Fry and Kiff in particular) seems to be the ladies\\\' heightened aggression and more masculine personalities moreso than their increased muscle mass. Fry himself gets over this when [[ItMakesSenseInContext he\\\'s accidentally sprayed with the pheromones of a male butterfly, making him irresistible to anyone who ingested Nectar (which contains female butterfly hormones).]]

** \\\"Strong Arms of the Ma\\\" goes both ways with this. Most, if not all of the other [=FBBs=] shown in the episode are portrayed in a mostly favorable light and regarded as attractive, in spite of the anti-steroid message. Marge\\\'s old neighbor Ruth Powers (the one who convinces Marge to get roided up) [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer has her physique admired by Marge and in turn tells Marge, \\\"Y\\\'know, another four inches on your neck, and you\\\'d look pretty hot.\\\"]] At the bodybuilding competition, the women (referred to as \\\"Music/{{Iron Maiden}}s\\\") earn applause and wild cheers from the audience while group posing (although the announcer quips beforehand that the competition\\\'s doctors have assured the panel the contestants are indeed women). Two other [=FBBs=] elicit similar positive responses: a woman in a flattering {{pink|MeansFeminine}} dress and matching white [[OperaGloves evening gloves]] and heels who lifts up and smashes a piano instead of playing it, then telling the onlookers to [[HypocriticalHumor \\\"Support the arts!\\\"]]; and a woman dressed as cowgirl who sings a rendition of Gene Pitney\\\'s \\\"Film/TheManWhoShotLibertyValance\\\" (and ruffles Professor Fink\\\'s hair) during the talent portion of the competition. The only time in the episode anyone seems to detest the idea of a muscular woman (outside of Marge\\\'s growing mean streak and steroid abuse) is when a none too thrilled Bart exclaims, \\\"Ay, caramba! I\\\'m off women forever\\\" in response to seeing the aforementioned \\\"Iron Maidens.\\\"
