An easy way to gage is to check these guys fight weight.

Punk - 170 lbs
Kurt Angle 220 lbs in Olympics
Bautista - roughly 260 lbs fighting
Jake Hager - 254 lbs in ring

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.
:mindblown:

Would wrestling lose its aura if they billed Daniel Bryan at 5'7 and 165 lbs?
Nah Dean is legit 6'0 or 6'1 he ain't a small dude.

Adam Cole supposedly being 6'0" 210 is so damn funny when a legit 6'1" 230 Pat McAfee completely dwarfs him :russ::russ:
his action figure is 6'0 210 tho :dead:

700 pounds brother. I didn't know until the moment it happened if he was gonna let me do it or not. God rest his soul, he died a month later but thanked me for the match in his dying breaths. I miss you Andre.

I think the one with Punk legit got me. Dude is a 170 fat slim dude. Same with Adam Cole being extremely small.

At his heaviest Punk was probably 215. Remebet his first year on the main roster he bulked up. He talked about it on his DVD. He thought he had to get as big as possible, but he's probably a natural 185 - 190 LB guy without the weight cutting.

Thats with weight cutting though. In his UFC fights he was probably 180-185 and during his pipe bomb run he was probably 195-200ish.
