A guy I worked with was a very good high school wrestler. He told me his uncle was a pro wrestler. My acquaintance was trash talking his uncle. The uncle told his nephew to put him in a hold. The nephew complied. Uncle asked him if he were ready, and promptly reversed the hold and pinned his nephew.
Hulk Hogan was 6’7” and 300,
Jesse Ventra is 6’2” 245
Roddy Piper was 6’2” and 230
Steve Austin was 6’2” and 250
Fritz Von Erich was 6’4 and 260
David Von Erich was 6’6” and 230
Pro wrestling might be fake and have a script. But run up and try to go hand to hand with any of them and you have one HELL of a problem on your hands...
They are big, fast, athletes, and very have pain tolerance.... and they love to go at it.
Even fake fighting is still fighting.
Woooooooooo!😎
“The victim, according to the WeHo resident, showed no mercy as the attempted robber struggled. ‘At one point, the guy’s arm got dislocated, and he just held him down,’ he said.”
LOL... can’t stop laughing. wonder if that dislocated arm feels “fake”.
Tyrus is another... 6’7” and 375. Go ahead street urchin, try to take his Rolex away.
No, place it on the ground and stand with a foot on it. If it was used in the attempted robbery, stashing is monumentally self-incriminating.
Last week my man Baron von Raschke turned 85. Fear The Claw!
Too bad the wrestler didn’t take the opportunity to demonstrate various wrestling moves for his girlfriend.
“Now watch, this is the Atomic Drop.”
But it’s Los Angeles, so I’m thinkin....hired as a consultant on a low budget flick.

The reporter said “fighter”, not “wrestler”. I didn’t recognize his voice (my mutant ability) but noticed he was still young with a bit of a gut - and sporting a Rolex in L.A.? MMA guy for sure.
Wrestlers are cautious about “bling” because of traveling so much and having to trust strange facilities for securing their property while they work. None living to retire (not named Ric Flair) goes around flashing expensive “mug me” stuff. MMA people are far closer to hood mentality and usually retire younger due to the wear and injury rate.
Just sayin’.
