Looking at Angle...
So, I don't watch a lot of TNA, but I flipped by last night during a break in a baseball game I was watching, and I saw Angle facing off with the dumbass in the chain mail hat. At the time I was led to wonder... is Angle less bulky than he was, or is this an illusion created by his proximity to Stein-roid?

This also led me to wonder, whether or not he has gotten a bit smaller, what Angle's physical condition has been of late, and whether or not his well-being is any less endangered than it was when he left WWE. A lot of "dead-in-a-month" quips were thrown around back then, but we're near two years later and he's still at it.

Give me your thoughts before I'm forced to do something rash. ...............

Angle's looked smaller for a while. When I asked, people suggested he was probably off the juice due to his interest in MMA.

Yeah, he's definitely smaller. His arms no longer look like orangutan arms. He was already looking slightly smaller when he debuted in TNA, and he's been deflating since then.

Bingo. In the U.S. the maximum weight for heavyweight is 265. So in order to fight Angle has to be small enough he could at least cut to 265 before a fight. People try to refute his MMA claims by saying he's all talk and has no interest in doing it, cause all he does is talk about it and hasn't gotten in the ring/cage yet...but maybe thats because you have to do stuff, like say, "train" to compete in MMA. Maybe he's taking his time and learning the right way, rather than rushing in to get crushed right off the bat.

Most deffinately the reason. Angle's biggest problem with a transition will be getting himself into the condition he appears to be in now, without taking all the juice and painkillers he's on. Then he would have to worry about the fact he would get laid out by almost anyone in UFC.

I do keep catching bits of Impact here and there, he is still one of the top 5 workers around right now for my money.

The competiton for the top spot in TNA is non-existant in TNA for Kurt Angle, juice or no juice he doesn't have to fight for the top spot and thus he doesn't have to work out as hard. Plus even with not working out he's still bigger than the vast majority of the roster.

So are you suggesting he was what.... 280/90 lbs before he left WWE? Sure.

Umm...yes. Yes I am. He was incredibly muscular. He probably weighted over 265...and was on roids...both of which would prevent him in competing in MMA in the United State.

Look at that Angle vs. the Angle now...and that wasn't even at his biggest. His shoulders, arms, chest, all bigger than they are now. Thats a big difference in mass.

I don't care. He is 5'10'' and never even close to 270. I would argue that he would fight lower than HVW if he crossed to MMA.

It would probably be better if he DID fight lower than that, because he would likely be weaker than alot of guys he would fight at heavyweight. And I would imagine that at his peak he was right around that limit of 265. He probably is in the 220's now, and it would be wise for him to fight at 205 IMO.

Do you have any idea how insanely massive a 5'10'' guy would have to be to weigh a legitimate 265lbs? Imagine away, he has NEVER been that big man.....

Well this argument is pointless as none of us have trustworthy official stats on him or anything so we are all just going by what we think he weighed. So i'm just dropping it cause we are never gonna go anywhere.

Here's Angle at the 96 Olympics, weighing in officially between 215-220lbs:



Here's Angle in 2004:



Here's Angle in 2008:




I would say that at the height of his WWE career (and before the pushing of the new wellness policy), Angle may have been as heavy as 230-240lbs, maybe more. After the wellness policy he seems to have stopped using the "extras," either as much, or all-together, from the looks of his biceps and legs.

There was no argument. I was simply correcting you. You just made me do it twice. Put it like this. You saw the size of Brock Lesnar in his UFC match? He is way more bulky than Angle has ever been, and about 6 inches taller. He was 250 and said in interviews he never cut a shred.

Are you kidding? There's no size difference between Cena then and now...

No way was Brock down to 250 for that match, he was much bigger than that. He was saying he never cut because he caught a lot of flak for being so big in the first place, and bringing up the discussion of rather or not there should be a superheavyweight division in the UFC, or setting a lower limit on the heavyweight division. Weight classes are designed narrowly so that in theory, we see a measure of skill vs. skill not size vs skill. In the heavyweight division, you could have a guy who walks around at 215-220 and not cutting vs. a guy (like Lesnar) who cuts to make 265. Brock weighed in RIGHT AT 265 for the fight with Mir, and he probably weighed over 270-275 on the night of the fight.

Article Here with the numbers from the weigh in.

Like I tried to say, and tried to stop, the argument on Angle was based entirely on opinion and there is no way to find reliable official numbers on his weight so we really have no idea, just our speculation.

Lesnar on the other hand, does have reliable numbers on hand. And I just served them to you.

You had to go and mouth off after a civil disagreement, and look what happened. Pwn'd. When are some people gonna learn...

It's a difficult argument from any angle (zing!) because there are no reliable stats for Angle's weight or anything, because he doesn't weigh in for anything...so there is no record keeping and this entire ordeal is just our speculation on the subject. So realistically there is no fact-based argument from any perspective.

Kurt was billed between 220 and 235lb through out his whole WWE career, just so you know, Bullet. And the WWE don't ever bill their wrestlers less than they really are.

Hence I used the phrase "implausible."

Synonyms unlikely, improbable, unbelievable.

But hey, let's look at your own evidence in terms of Cocksword's weight. Cocksword weighed in at 265, a guy who was not only taller than Angle but also bigger. So you're trying to say that Angle as trying to cut weight down to a weight comparable to Cocksword, which pretty much holds no water whatsoever. While you can argue there are no facts on either side, it doesn't make your argument strain credibility any less.

Look, if you think that Angle weighed 280lbs, then fine man.

So I couldn't be arsed to check the weights for Lesnar, so what? Fact is he weighed maximum of 265lbs and the fact that he is way more muscular and half a foot taller than Kurt, shits all over any argument or victory you think you have or have won.

Your statement is ludicrous. But congratulations on 'pwning' me.

Boy, is my face red..

Yeah, I never got as far as this post. Once I saw I was 'pwn'd' I felt I had to respond instantly...

But yeah, what he said.

It's a Pyhrric victory, really. Kinda like proving that you didn't kill that hooker because you were too busy shooting up a senator's car.

Jesus, people, come on. My point is that none of us can prove our point (myself including) cause we don't have any info on what Kurt really weighs now or weighed during his heaviest during his WWE run...

Also I never said Angle weighed 280...but I did say he was probably trying to keep a manageable weight so that he wouldn't have to be cutting to make sure he was safely within the weight limit.

Yeh, I was agreeing with you on that...



And I've said repeatedly that no argument (mine included) is gonna have solid weight (pun intended again) behind it because we don't have the facts on, merely our own opinions. So, I like how I'm really getting this thrown in my face or whatever by freakin' AGREEING that there is no way to make a logical point on this!

A couple of posts ago you did actually say you thought Angle was right around 265lb at his peak. 265/280, it doesn't matter. Angle was never anywhere near that size.

15 pounds is a big difference, 265 and 280 are not the same thing.

(Amateur) Wresters generally cut about 20lbs for MMA. You are suggesting he has to shrink down to make this plausable for him.

Regardless of correct facts for his weight, he is not as heavy as you seem to be arguing. Everyone else in this thread reckons about 235-40. Why? Because they have simple judgement and common sence.

Theres no official weight for..... let's say, Rey Mysterio. I think he weighs 225lbs. Dissagree? Well you can't prove me wrong until you sit fucker on some scales and we are all present to see the read out.

But we all know that's not true...

ANY IDIOT CAN SEE HE DOESN'T WEIGH THAT MUCH!

If you'd just say 'maybe i'm wrong' as apposed to 'you can't prove it' you might have a point...

I'm pretty sure nobody can disprove that Crash Holly was a super heavyweight. If he was still alive, I'm pretty sure he'd have to cut at least 200 lbs to compete at even the highest level of MMA...
