best body of a wrestler - Page 3

I hardly see why that was worth a neg rep and such a hostile comment, but whatever, I can take my lumps. I admit I'm in the wrong about a few things, for example, BJ Penn is a perfect example of 'judging a book by its cover' and being wrong. He just looks like an ordinary guy you'll see in the street. I'm glad to be corrected about that.

I'm not saying every wrestler needs to look like a gorilla, veins bulging and ripped, but I am saying they should have *some* definition. It's a sad fact, but when I go to independent shows here, I see some sorry excuses for 'wrestlers'. Guys who look like a breeze could knock them down... these same guys have the nerve, for lack of a better word, to do press slams, guys who obviously don't take the time to go to the gym and at least get in shape (they're probably 240 pounds, but they're more wide than big). I look at those guys and think they have no place in the ring.

Now... as for Orton, yes, he's a big boy. I'm not taking away his build, his height or his weight. Yes, he obviously looks after himself and isn't a fat slob. Randy looks like a killer in the ring to me, but the area I come from, I could get a dollar a dozen for every crew-cut tattooed guy I encountered on the sidewalk. That's why his 'style' does nothing for me and I wouldn't blink an eye if I saw him walking down the street, shirt on. If he got pissed and removed his shirt, getting ready to throw down, then I would second-guess myself.

It's my belief that a wrestler has to look larger than life, he has to look like the world's toughest son of a bitch and either his body or his ring work has to show that. If I can't buy a guy as a threat, he's an ham-and-egger. That's just my belief and I'm stuck in that mindset. I'm hoping that clears it up a bit and explains my 'fucking retardness'.

Dude, if a guy looks in shape a guy looks in shape. He doesn't need 24 inch pythons. If he can work in the ring, that is the most important thing.
