The real "World's Largest Athlete"

All in all it's a pretty good match fearturing a 7 footer with decient agility (he actually does a top rope splash) and the 600lb "World's Largest Athlete " Maximum Capacity. My question is with guys like Big Show, Kane and The Undertaker getting older, is it that time again in the WWE to phase out the older big men and replace them with new ones?

If the tall guy can even tie up, he'll probably get signed.

Tall Bryan Clark vs. White Big Daddy V. Terrible match.

The fat guy looks like Butterbean. The tall guy seems like someone the WWE would sign up. I haven't watched the video so I know nothing about his ringwork - but when has a giant's ringwork been taken into account when the WWE signs them?

Exyle 06-25-2010 12:05 AM

Haha, the ring bell sounds like they took it out of a kitchen timer.

Couldn't give a rats ass either way.

Razzamajazz 06-25-2010 03:43 AM

although big giant guys serve a purpose for a while,









meh

I've seen Maximum Capacity wrestle a few dozen times.

He can't make it through a full match without a 1,000 time outs and such. He's seems easy enough to work with, but blows up right after the bell goes off & also works a lot of VERY sloppy moves.

Razzamajazz 06-25-2010 04:26 AM

after watching the video, all I see is a heart attack waiting to happen VS. some tall guy with no talent

If we're talking of all-time, then technically no, as that honor goes to Happy Humphrey, who at one point was known to legitimately weigh in at over 800 lbs. in at least one match. However, in the current scene, if that's what you mean, then I'm guessing it's a pretty safe bet there's no one who weighs more at the minute in the industry, although, ya never know...I could always be proven wrong.

ace3025 06-25-2010 10:52 AM

If WWE is going to phase out their giants....please god, dont let these two be the replacements!! I feel like I was just force to watched Lesnar v. Goldberg all over again.

Minutes of my life I will never get back

Shisen Kopf 06-25-2010 12:23 PM

that was a really good match. Awesome

BigDaddyCool 06-25-2010 12:34 PM

I got bored after a minute of circling each other.

Wrestling has evloved from having guys like the 800lb Happy wrestling Haystacks Calhoun, or Gorgous George (the original) wrestle the 600+ lb Martin "The Blimp" Levy. What I'm kinda asking is it time for the WWE to phase out the "giant" aspect and maybe have guys like Skip Shefield (body builders) or have decient shape 300lb guys be the unofficial cut off point?

BigDaddyCool 06-25-2010 01:34 PM

Wrestling is still all about spetical. One of the easiest, no-brainer specticals is having giants. So as long as people are facinated by watching huge men doing stuff, they will have giants in wrestling.

The Pope 06-25-2010 02:35 PM

They both suck

There was three more minutes of that. followed by a rest break, because bitch tits was already winded.

The Tall guy was in FCW

I was going to crack a joke about how he weighed as much as Hardcore and Crash Holly combined, but I will pass this time.

This shit is dangerous guys

Jakob Synn 06-25-2010 08:31 PM

It's not a matter of who is actually the largest athlete in proffessional wrestling, but that the WWE was first to captilize on the name for the big show.

As a fan I really kind of hate really big guys that are the size of people like the big show. It's just they can only do so much and it limits their opponents. Most times I find that matches featuring very big men seem to be very limited and lame.

Brigstocke 06-25-2010 08:37 PM

Impeccable workrate though.....

Jonathan KoЯn 06-25-2010 08:43 PM

These guys should be more careful with their bodies

I don't think that's so muh the point here, but really, it's a tagline. Bret Hart may not literally be "The Best There Is, the Best There Was, and the Best There Ever Will Be," but that's the tagline. RVD might not be "The Whole Fucking Show," but again, that's the tagline. Vince's balls are more the size of Tangellos, but that's...Well, you get the point.
