- Reading: How much are Pro-Wrestler body weights Shilled?
I remember back when I was a kid I thought Wrestlers were as big as they were claimed to be. Then I found out they generally weren't quite as tall as they are claimed to be. /fit/ has kind of opened my eyes to how much people actually ought to weigh, or ballpark of it, based on what they look like.
For example, Bill Goldberg, here was listed by WCW and later WWE as 6'3" and 285 pounds.

He looks roughly 12-15% bodyfat, tops, and I just cannot see him being quite that heavy.
240ish seems a lore more realistic, even 250 would be pushing it.
There are many other examples of wrestlers like Seth Rollins who is listed at 220 and 6'1" - which would make him the size of Arnold Schwarzenegger in Conan the Destroyer. Even though Seth doesn't look anywhere near that big.
Other examples of serious bodyweight frauding in wrestlers?
Nah m8 they are pretty big and tall, most of them are 6'5 +

Arnold is 5'8. Of course Seth Rollins looks thinner. He's not fucking hollow.

because you responded to a point nobody said. nobody said "they aren't actually big".
They said they aren't as big as they are claimed to be.
If you got a guy who is 245 lbs at 6ft4, and some shit says he is 300 pounds at 6ft4, then that is weight shilling. make sense?
Yeah sure he is "really a big guy" either way, but its far away from how big they are saying he is.

If you think Seth Rollins is taller than prime Arnold you're an idiot.
>>37608612
>implying Arnold has shrunk
>>37608442
They're made bigger than they really are. The Rock is not 6'5, for example. He's closer to 6'3. Kane is not 7 tall, he's more like 6'8 - 6'9. I think Big Show and Khali are the only guys who are legit 7 footers.

Old people do shrink, actually.
>>37608637
Not by 5 inches they don't.
SETH WILL BEAT ROMAN TOMORROW
AJ WILL BEAT CENA TOMORROW
DEAN WILL GET THE BRIEFCASE TOMORROW

I don't think Crash Holly was a Super Heavyweight.
Billed heights and weights r always bumped up for wrestlers so don't believe what u read
Bork weighed in at 265lbs for most of his UFC fights and he came in bigger. He's billed at 285 and I believe that. Goldbird being 285 and a little taller than WWE Lesnar isn't unbelievable.

Kane most probably did weigh ~320 but wasn't 7'.
It's the giants like Andre and Big Show that I don't believe were close to 500. Yokozuna maybe. And they like to exaggerate heights.
Wilt Chamberlain was a legit 7'1 but they billed Andre at 7'4.
A lot of the smaller guys are definitely exaggerated weights.
