How much do these wrestlers really weight?

[Peter Popoff]

When I was a kid, I could've believed these wrestlers were larger than life but as I grew up big into fitness and even hanging around body builders, these exaggerated weights irk me.

I was watching an old HBK match and wondering ain't no way in hell, this guy in his prime was anywhere over 190 lbs (billed at 225 lbs). My dad's trainer, no. 3 bodybuilder in the world is 190 and larger than Kurt Angle.

At 5'11, 185, I'm larger than most of these new aged wrestlers, probably taller as well.

Guys like Ricochet and Dean Ambrose are smaller than me as well.

Roman Reigns and Jericho wear lifts. In fact, any wrestler walking in the ring with black leather boots wear lifts to exaggerate their heights.

My bad, I just had to get this off my mind.


Would wrestling lose its aura if they billed Daniel Bryan at 5'7 and 165 lbs?

Also, a few years ago, I met bad news Barrett at 24 hour fitness. At the time, I was about 175 and this guy was no bigger than me in mass. He was lifting lightweights to get cut. My homeboy that was juicing and weighed about 205 was bigger than both of us.

I think HBK at his biggest was really over 200. He was 6'0" and fairly built at one point . I doubt he was anywhere near 230 tho.

Na bruh. Muscle actually weighs less than fat but looks bigger. The only guys I believe weighed closer to their billed weights were Austin and Rock mainly because Austin had a lot of body fat and Rock is actually tall.

Also guys that really weigh 350+ pounds under 6'5 would be on crutches and immobile. My homegirls boyfriend is 250 and 6'7 but he's a big dude.

Dean Ambrose is about 205, average cac that works out 3, 4 days a week without a proper diet. Seth Rollins is 6'1, 190 but more solid no homo.

Yeah, i Agree with this. Young bucks ar most 170

They add about 25-50 pounds to what they really are...

But if you a big guy that can be anywhere from 25-100 pounds more.. look what they billed Andre, Big Show, Yokozuna at lmaoo

Also take about 2-3 inches off their heights


I'm 5'11 and 220 pounds.. I have legs like Rhyno, a stomach like stone cold, arms not that big, maybe like a younger Randy Orton.

Theres no way in hell Shawn Michael's scrawny ass weighed more than me lmaoo even X-Pac was billed as weighing more than me

The smallest one is about 150 and Nick is about 170.

Finn Balor has like zero body fat, Gargano too. No way those dudes are knocking on 200lbs

 

[Hey_zeus]

Exactly what i thought of

 

[Homer Simpson]

All the numbers in wrestling are fabricated except the 84 consecutive weeks that Nitro beat Raw.
