excluding brock lesnar who do you all think would win in an mma style tornement between the rest of th current roster ? cant see many tough guys maybe part of the problem

Well, take Lesnar out of it all, and I'd probably put my money on Swagger being the guy, with his wrestling background, he'd shoot on you, take you down and that'd be the end, stand fight though -- Barrett or Slater.

and, I don't think there is any footage, might have a look at some stage, but as far as I know, there's nothing.

Sheamus. He loves to fight! Could easily destroy all the small guys in a matter of seconds

Unless said small guy's name happens to be Yoshi Tatsu. :HA

Heath Slater has a boxing background, he wouldn't be one to mess with I'd say.

I thought Rusev had a background in kickboxing, not just because he loves kicking Swagger, thought there was mention of it around his debut.

Swagger is a legit monster though, so yeah, wouldn't fuck with that guy, what is his actual height? Is he around the 6'6 mark?

That sounds about right, his wiki doesn't mention it, but it's very possible Rusev did do some kickboxing.

Yes, he really is around 6'6. Measurements in his mugshot suggest as such and in the US you have to be barefoot or in socks when getting your mugshot taken.

What blows my mind is his fucking reach (how goddamn long are his arms?) and shoulder/back definition. He may not look like he has a strong core, but there's definitely toning there and he compensates for it in his upper body strength and pretty damn good cardio. In another life, he probably would have made an amazing UFC/MMA fighter.

Swagger, Barrett and Rusev. Don't know much about Rusev but he just has this aura like he would completely fuck someone up. Also I'm surprised no one mentioned Mark Henry yet.

Without including Lesnar, it come down to 3 guys for me. Swagger, Rusev or Barrett.

Swagger - All American wrestling background
Rusev - Judo and ***** background
Barrett - Bare knuckle and boxing background

Also...I still think that Mark Henry could absolutely annihilate anyone no matter how old he is now...but that's just me.

That sounds about right, but I can't find a legitimate source for it.

I am surprised that he didn't go into MMA, most good amateur wrestlers do, there's always the question whether the guy is tough or not. But he is a monster, he'd probably have a 6'8 reach or something along those lines, he is built for wrestling, long arms, tall, strong, got the right attributes for it.
I'm sure Swagger is pretty damn tough, but it might not be something he really would care to do? Or maybe he'll consider it when he's older?

You're damn right, tho, dude was manufactured to be a wrestler or some type of professional fighter.

I think his reach might be even longer than that. I wouldn't be surprised if he was bordering on having the armspan of someone closer to 7 feet. It's kinda difficult to tell because almost all his promotional work has him with his arms bent in some fashion, but:




Long as fuck, looking like a fucking orangutan or some shit. :lel

Especially when you compare him to someone around the same height like BNB or Cesaro, his reach is just insane and perfectly made for grappling. Guess his arm span fits his long ass legs, too.

Pretty much this is really the only real standard other than the like.. 2 or 3 guys that can ACTUALLY fight. There's a difference between being trained in an art of fighting and actually being good at it. Anyways, besides that.. the whole thing is a fashion show besides the real hard asses.

The muscles don't mean nearly as much without the mindset as well. And there isn't too many people with that tough ass mentality in the locker room these days.
