A Possible Shoutout to Gao Muscle in Power Rangers Wild Force?

In the episode "Soul Bird Searching", I have noticed what might be a possible shoutout done in Wild Force.


During that episode, Cole searches for the Soul Bird and it supposedly went away and later, we see the Green Gorilla appear, taking the place of the ailing Red Lion.  Now what's the possible shoutout here?


Just notice prior to the appearance of the Green Gorilla, Cole removes his blasted shirt where he amazingly survives Master Org's blast while he is out of suit.  It reveals his muscular top as a result.


So he looks like he is flexing his muscles in this picture, showing off that amazing upper body of his.


The Sentai name for Kongazord is Gao MUSCLE.  I pretty felt like that having Cole topless for this episode was a shoutout to the name Gao Muscle.  Maybe it's just a coincidence but who knows?
