Unexpected real life wrestler sightings

Ric Flair in front of a K-Mart for a poorly advertised appearance

I think I saw Gargano with Lerae at a mall in Queens a few years ago. I didn't know who he was at the time just he was a wearing a WWE shirt and it was strange to see someone wearing one in public

Samoa Joe at LAX while waiting for a flight. He's Fat.

Rule: all wrasslin performers atypically add 50 pounds to their on screen Entrance weight.

Like when triple h was his absolute best visual in two man power trip. He was probably only 190 pounds.

Na, he's legit 210 - 215 for his height. Michael's was about 170. It's crazy when wrestlers go to mma and are billed significantly lighter and they say they "cut weight" then they go to wrestling billed more but looking smaller. Riddle is the perfect example. He's around 180 right now.

I was in traffic and saw cm punk.
When punk had come out of a bar on north and damen strip. Then i saw him in traffic with us later as well.

Art Barr

Yeah him and AJ lived over there on the main strip for a minute. I seen her walking to one of the gyms on north ave.

 

[Him]

I met Xavier Woods at a ramen shop 15-20 mins after the royal rumble a few years ago.

 

[Larry]

Met Christian in a Nordstrom. I go "oh shyt, christian" and he fist bumped me lol

 

[Busby]

Met Bayley at a Mexican spot on a random weekend after leaving the bar. She was hella chill and very nice.

That explains it.
I would actually like to talk to punk.
Especially now i am on the on deck to be back in my industry.

It would be nice to talk to someone who faced similar professional adversity.

In two man power trip hhh was only 190..later in his failed face run.
To going against steiner was when he was in the 200 to 200 plus range. Muscle is leaner than glob weight. Which is why the saying is. You gotta get smaller to get bigger.
In two man power trip hhh was at his most impressive visually. All because he was leaner at 190. Go back and look at the pics of him versus say the pose down with hogan. Or opposite steiner. The reason he was trying ro upstage scotry is because he had gotten bigger and scottie was on a bum wheel. Not capable of training in the same manner as his wcw top billing weight wise.

Y'all crazy with these weights. Lashley is billed as 270lbs, but in MMA his weight was 241lbs.

HHH was probably never his billed 270 weight, but he wasn't 190. That's a stretch.

We all know Omos isn't 399 lbs either

But you're right they do look way bigger on TV

Also i noticed during HOF ceremony that Byron Saxton was looking Kane eye to eye.

I am going by the smart rule.

When hhh was originally billed at six foot f'oh at 240.
240-190 = 50 pounds of billed weight.
When he was billed at 270 much later in his face to heel runs. He was said to be around 230 frfr.

Which if you google his side by side versus steiner. He was massively larger than steiner in their feud.

No one would know what their real weights are. Unless you go to the scale with them.

I am only going by standard booking and billing ideals. Which is atypically fifty pounds over their socalled real weight.

You are trying to eyeball and you can't eyeball no pack ever.

I don't care how much weight you slick moved. That goes for everything.

Fun additional factoid

[To see 230 or 240 lean muscle. you would have to see arnold 1974 pix. Which only one exists in low light from his olympia win]

Valid points. My father's gym trainer who's also was once the number 3 bodybuilder in the world was 190. Dude was massive. Looked like Bobby Lashley. shyt was unreal but maybe that was after he dehydrated himself for competition.

Meanwhile, regular out of shape friends around me easily weight 205, 220. Either way, there's a weird science to it.

Back on topic:

I've always wanted to meet Mick Foley. I bet he had some interesting stories.

Oh no doubt.
If you one fifty to 175 and lean. shyt looks crazy. 190 lean looks crazy.
It is hard to get that as a natty and keep it.
Your body will just be like fukk you and drop that shyt. If you get 200 sumfin plus lean as a natty.

As far as mick.
I have his book around here.
I just have not reopened it.
I should tho.
It is some other stuff in my library. That takes precedent over entertainment books. I still have to grasp and wrap my mind around. So entertainment based books.
are on the backburner.
as far as reads as of late.
