would be the most comparable to yours? Can be any wrestler from any era.

Go.

Given that wrestler's "billed" heights and weights are exaagerated a little, and given that I'm 5.95 170 lbs, I'd say Kota Ibushi is likely a close comparison to me since he's "billed" as 5’11” 189 lbs. Having said that, he has more upper body muscle mass than me while I've got him beat on legs. We both have decent abs however. My penis is likely far bigger due to me not being Japanese.

I wouldn’t use stats in this exercise for the very reasons you just stated. And Japanese wrestlers don’t count because nobody knows who they are, and who’s got time to google these obscure characters.

Damn it, those are unreliable scientifically!!!

True. Just lower the weight by about 15-20 lbs and/or reduce the height by 1.5-2 inches to reduce the discrepancy between billed height/weight and real height/weight.

Or - just sit around closing your eyes and imagining the body types of greasy male wrestlers and determining which body is similar to yours. #NoHomo.

To Gertner's point however, no one on a wrestling board is going to have a wrestler's body type. Most people will have Spike Dudley, Mick Foley, or in M-A-G's case, Vickie Guerrero.

I'd say about 5% or less have Yoko's body fat on here. Yoko got to that size by being an actual Sumo wrestler. Most non-athletes wouldn't be able to get to that level of weight. Mick Foley's body type is more realistic.

I don't like Gertner's Kevin Owen reference because Owens has strong muscular biceps. Road Dogg Jesse James (2020, not his 90's self) is another good comparison. I'd even argue that a large portion of TPWW'ers are insanely skinny and have difficulty putting on any muscle of any kind (Spike Dudley types).

I’m not sure Yokozuna was ever an actual sumo wrestler.

Yes, but the way he is now, not his prime years. Prime Lawler had muscle under that fat.

Looks like you are correct:

Source - Wiki:

Although the Yokozuna character was portrayed as a champion sumo wrestler, Anoaʻi never competed as an actual sumotori.

That sounds like Sami Zayn to me, and not a gorgeous man like Ibushi.

My arms aren't defined like Ibushi's (more like Zayn's), but I've much better abs than Zayn and am more comparable to Ibushi here.. Zayn is also around 212 lbs (and so probably 190-195 in real life). I'm fine with either comparison, but I would be considered diminutive by WWE standards.

I dunno, I think and hope that there will be a few phenomenal Mulkeys in like myself.
I would also accept George Gulas comparisons.

I was going-to-say 700-Club-era Lex Luger; because he's hovered-below 200 lbs. since rehabbing-from his near-death experience:
https://www.youtuberepeater.com/watch?v=v6h0Y7hmqYs

But then, I realized Mr. Luger is still a few inches taller-than me. (Even-if his t-shirt is no-longer too-tight!)

Consulting the TPWW-compiled list of wrestler heights-and-weights, handily hyperlinked-above by Kenny Powers:
https://www.tpww.net/info/heightsweights/

I'd say Angelico most-closely resembles my own height and weight.

Vince Russo is a -close- second on those measurements, thought! *grin*

(Mine would match his, if I were an-inch-shorter and had giardiasis again.)

P.S.

It says-a-lot that today's wrestlers more-closely-resemble Vince Russo's body-type, than they resemble the main-eventers of yesteryear.

Practically anyone who does physical labor for a living, has a bod on-par-with half the independent wrestlers.

But hey, that could be interpreted-as-evidence the pro-wrestling schools aren't discriminating-against body-types anymore! *smile*

v good points. I think the average age of pro wrestlers at death will def be trending up. No need to be on the juice these days

He has more muscle on the arms though.
