Pound for Pound

Post by Earth Child » Jan 20th, '12, 01:37

Now I may be getting this wrong because I'm not a body builder or pro athlete and I also still can't comprehend Pounds and ounces.

But for AJ to be 95 pounds (Even if it is just her Kayfabe weight) doesn't that sound a little underweight for a pro wrestler?

Now I did some converting and I will admit I hover around the 130 pound mark. I'm a little on the thick side.

AJ being 95 pounds converts to around 43 Kilograms and to me personally, that’s a little underweight for someone her age and for her profession.

Again I will take into consideration that maybe she is just small or light boned or whatever other genetic explanation there could be for this.


And if this is just her "Storyline weight" shouldn't they make it a bit bigger?


I was just pondering this and maybe some of you could shed some light on it.

I gotta admit when i heard 95 i didn't believe it. I mean she is small but she's a professional wrestler.

This.

If if wasn't just an exaggeration. He said Big Show was five hundred, and he is billed at under 450.

Wikipedia says she is billed at 107.

But then I believed WWE stopped kayfabe weights and began reading real ones (aside from a couple eg. Big Show)

BUT if it is for storyline purposes, It's not a problem.

95 pounds? Holy sh*t. I weigh 140 and I'm a small kid...

I believe it. She's tiny! Wikipedia says she's 5'3", proportionally 97lbs I don't think is absurd, but I'll bet they shaved a few off to get it below 100. For the sympathy.

Also taking into consideration that she has no real breasts to speak of... Those can add a fair few pounds on the average woman.

And she's really, REALLY skinny. With almost no visible body fat.

I believe it. She's so LITTLE!

I saw something a few days ago that said WWE is now trying not to bill any of their male talent under 200lbs; Dragon went from being 180 to 210 since then. Watch a match of his from two weeks ago, then watch SD!; you'll notice the difference

The point being that both have, like, no body fat whatsoever
