True.. considering Michaels was juiced for most of his career and Punk is natural.
Some people just aren't built to be ripped. Nothing wrong with that.
Kane is 6'9" barefoot, and 6'10" with boots on. I'm sure of it because Viscera is a legit 6'9", and he and Kane, when facing each other, were the exact same height.
I've met Kane, I'd say that's close to accurate. I'm pretty tall myself.. and he made me feel short.
You know a lot about Kane.

It depends on your definition of ripped.
Everyone can do it, some will have a harder problem achieving the end goal than others, but it is possible for anyone to do it. That being said, does he need to? It is hard to shoot for multiple goals and considering that he is on the road so much, recovering from that type of lifting regiment would be extremely difficult.

Don't do that. Just don't.
To be fair Michaels was considered small after the era of Hogan, Warrior, Savage, etc, and by the late 90s Michaels was pretty buff. But no, it's not all about that size. It's better to have diverse guys. Look at their newest crop of guys to come up to the main roster, the differing looks don't impact their chances of looking intimidating:
Cesaro is tall, strong, yet still lean, definitely a pro wrestler look.
Ryback is Vince's meathead type.
Damien Sandow is deceptively tall and big, when he's in his robe pontificating you don't notice, but when he's in dominating heel mode against say Sheamus he can actually look like a real brute.
Dean Ambrose isn't super buff or ripped, but he's noticeably tall so he still looks intimidating in front of others.
Roman Reigns has that Rock circa 2000 build, and Rollins looks like a buffer version of Punk.
Big E is short, and goofy looking, but he'd still rip your head off.
Bo Dallas...well we have to have exceptions, right?
Beats the slew of meatheads we got a number of years ago when there was an influx of new talent. Diverse looks help make a more engaging roster.
I don't think it's fair to take me too seriously in this regard.
All I'm saying is Punk should be in better shape since he's on TV and he's billed as a top guy.
Before the edit you called Kane a can, lol!

I don't think it's public knowledge really - I'd hazard a guess that New Japan are the closest to WWE in terms of how much they pay their workers, and I get the impression that even smaller companies like DDT or BJW are likely to pay wrestlers more than most US indies. However, it's more of a full-time job, as they're often expected to train at the promotion's dojo daily when not on a tour, whereas indy workers have most of the week free to themselves, outside of bookings. In general, it's probably more profitable to work in Japan, but the biggest obstacle for guys working full time over there seems to be the cultural differences, which can be especially difficult if you don't know Japanese.
Exactly. Did you guys see any of Punk's work in OVW? The extra muscle mass he probably felt like he had to put on to even get a shot at being called up most certainly didn't do him any favours in the ring.

Godzilla's best movie was vs Biollante, but my favorite opponent of Godzilla's is Gigan. I really loved the design of Gigan they used in Final Wars - dope as hell. Godzilla vs Megalon was a flawed but really enjoyable movie to me.
When he was Yankem, he was listed as 6'9". When he debuted as Kane, he was listed as 6'10".
They started listing him as 7' when Big Show debuted, because they billed Big Show as 7'2", and they didn't want the size difference to be too great. However, when they started billing Show as his correct height of 7', they never corrected Kane's height, and just kept saying that he's 7' too.

Punk has a sexy ass body y'all look like straight up jealous #haterz
There's really got to be a limit on what I can and can't take seriously in WrassleGAF. If everyone is "working" everyone else and getting worked in turn, it's impossible to follow.

I liked vs Mechagodzilla as it felt like a good progression of what Godzilla's toughest enemy should be - a technological terror! Poor Anguirus though. Underrated little feller.
Pfft, Megalon is lame. Kane is no Megalon, he's at least a Gigan.
Cena is Jet Jaguar. Goofy looking, bright colours, creator's pet, kid friendly, and when faced with monsters that are simply out of his league in power and size, literally makes himself bigger so he can overshadow the crowd favourite Godzilla and get himself over.
Gigan is GOAT.

Wow, you're not wrong about Jet Jaguar. Also, some stupid parents and a child built him, so that explains everything! "Jet Jaguaaaaar!"
Also Megalon is not lame
I have this shirt!

That is what I figured. I know this is just more random bs but if I was a wrestler, I would want to wrestle and live in Japan. Prolly because I haven't traveled outside of the US very much but I think it be great to live it up there for a few years.
Whether or not I am being serious my point remains that he should look better considering his position and if he gets a gut and isn't going for that Tensai look then ya'll should be right there with me.
This is the cutest thing I've seen in ages!

Supposedly, the mid-to-top card guys get paid somewhere between $10,000-20,000 a month.
I read that Hiroshi Tanahashi makes about $260,000 per year, and he's a pretty important guy in NJPW. Minoru Suzuki's no slouch either, and last year he made an estimated $13,000; he didn't have a long time contract with the company then, and I don't really know what his pay is now. This is all coming from little scraps of the Observer that I found here and there.
I don't know what the lower-level guys get paid, or if any of the wrestlers get anything from merchandise, but I imagine that they would get the same treatment at the other big feds in Japan.
Well he sure has gotten a lot of tail.
I just finished this awesome Hoggie right now. Soon I'll have to beat the women away with a Kendo stick.
Come on flab!

King Ghidorah is clearly the greatest of all Godzilla's opponents.

i did...
He had that extra weight just made him slow and look bloated. He's just not built to carry that kind of weight.
I'll take a guy with a lot of cardio that can work 40 minutes solid over the meathead that can't go 10. We saw that at the Rumble. Rock was gasping shortly into the match, Punk was ready to run a marathon.

Bo Dallas is winning the Intercontinental Championship at the Elimination Chamber pre-show.

they should make a Godzilla wrestling game
Super Godzilla was such a dope game

Compared to the shape he was in during ROH, the guy's fat. Simple as that.

I think honestly that the first Godzilla game on the NES was the best. It was weird but pretty cool.
Yup played it. Fond memories.
No, you're wrong!
It'll be on the PPV itself, not enough matches if D.Brine and Kane are in the Chamber, unless they drop the tag titles in the next two weeks

Poor, poor Anguirus - the longer the series went on, the more he jobbed out to every 20 ton skell that stomped onto Okinawa. And he would get FUCKED UP.
I've got to agree with you on Godzilla vs Biollante, though - it's my favorite movie in the series.
You're giving Jet Jaguar way too much credit, dude. He got sidelined in his own movie (because the higher-ups thought he couldn't become popular on his own, so they added Godzilla), got his ass beat, and basically disappeared after his first proper appearance. He's Zack Ryder. He's Max Moon's dad. It doesn't get any more pathetic than that.

There is King of Monsters which was a kaiju wrestling game that appeared on a few of the 16-bit consoles.

That makes sense. I always thought that wrestling in Japan is better financially, but it is more of a matter of the individual would fit in culture wise.

Especially in the late 80s which was when vs Biollante was made, it was a pretty creative monster to have. I really liked Biollante.
Man, Anguirus...didn't need to see him get kicked 40 miles...

One of my favourite matches, i'm hurt Persp.
One of the best moments in WWE history. Never hear pops like that anymore.
The Rock vs Triple H (Judgement day 2000)(Undertaker Return) forgive the quality.
Today's Rock couldn't do that. We saw that for a fact.
He may look like a brick shit house, but he'd be winded by the time he ran down the ramp.
Yeah but Rocky wasn't flabby when that match happened. HHH also looked pretty phenomenal.
Bret, Shawn...looked good. etc. You can look good and go the distance.
Who else had one? Brock/Angle?

Hey, Laser - have you read Lou Thesz's book Hooker? Is it any good?

I'm in need of a new wrestling book to read and remember someone mentioning this, but the price was crazy high on amazon, whereas Crowbar have it for $20.
