Big beats little-realism?

They are SO lucky they didn't make Jericho/Nash for the other night in Halifax, as we could've seen everything switch to 2000 Y2J vs. 1995 uberdick Diesel...if they would change the match halfway through....

 

BTW, if Chris works the knee, and that bastard sells it at least sporadically, Jericho can pull *1/2 (remember when RAW had **** main events every few months?) out of him in a seven minute match. All Nash has to do is stay on his back and act like he's hurting.

Go pick a fight with a person a foot and a half taller with you and see how it goes.  You'd better have a really big skill advantage.  I'm still not sold on Jericho taking him out.

You think Nash is 7'5"?

 

Nash isn't even seven foot. He's about 6'9" TOPS.

 

Most of that is his lower body: including his toothpick legs that, if knocked out from under him, would render his upper body strength worthless.

I hope nobody believes Jericho is 5'11"....h'es 5'9 without his lifts on tops.....that being said he has good dungeon shoot experience, and will take out Nash

but.........wwe.com lists him at 6'....they wouldnt lie to us. Seriously, what their problem admitting that someone isnt above 6' tall. beacause we all know 5'11 and 6'1 mean so much as far as how good someone is

Eh--it's so hard to tell because WWE have to be such lying pricks about the wrestler stats and bulk them up.

 

Hogan has been billed as being everywhere from 6'8 to "near 7 feet" (Mr. America bio).

 

Yet at Backlash last year he's SLIGHTLY taller than the supposedly 6'4" Triple Haitch.

That's so true.....how about at WrestleMania X8 when the Rock is billed as 6'5" and in the staredown they're the same EXACT height.

I wasn't doing a mathematical calculation peeps, i was just making a general point that its hard to fight a much larger person. Once they grab you, you have a big problem. Its not virtua fighter. you don't run around doing spin kicks and such. Think Pride. Yes, fantastic little man beats big sucky man, but not even all the time. Nogiuera had problems with Sapp, and he's a 100 times better technical fighter.

And Nash has little/no wrestling skill let alone "shooting" skill. I'd buy that Taker could probably legit whoop Jericho in a shoot since he's larger AND dabbles in the shoot stuff, plus he's far healthier.

 

Not Nash.

I bet Big Show could beat everyone up by sitting on them and then farting on them.

Nash's knee (and quad) problems would negate any advantages his height might provide.

 

Also, I think Kurt Angle said in his book that size doesn't matter, with the right leverage it's possible to beat pretty much anyone. (Ofcourse, I realise not everyone's in the same league as Kurt Angle when it comes to shoot fighting).

Size does not matter............for instance look at a guy like Tazz......5'7", but the guy is an expert in judo, and the advantage of being small is the low center of gravity.....he'll destroy Nash. It's all about positioning and leverage

Didn't Kurt say Big Show was the only guy in the locker room he can't take down in a shoot?

Big Show's weight probably has alot to do with that.

Emmanuel Yarborough the big fat black sumo got his ass kick by a smaller man in UFC

 

Kimo beat Paul Varleans is UFC

 

Tazz beat Paul Varleans in ECW

I remember reading somewhere that Kurt beat Brock and Show both in 'matches' in the back

Didn't say it was impossible, just meant that it added another obstacle.

 

Sheesh.

Size can actually be a hinderance to a shoot competitor, when you're talking about a fight between two guys who really know what they're doing. Pretty much all of the really world-class fighters are under the 300 pound mark, most of them under 250. A bigger guy simply has less speed and cardiovascular conditioning than a smaller one, according to the biological laws of nature.

Exactly, and on top of that agai is the low center of gravity.......much more smooth and quick for a smaller guy than a bigger guy who has to shift his weight down for a shoot attempt.

I would like to see the finish be drop kick to the knee then attempt a pin fall with the La Majistral Cradle but Big Lazy kicks out so Y2J would work the leg more with spinning toe hold and death locks then at around the 8 minute mark Big Lazy would submitt to the Half Crab Leg Bar.

 

But in reality it would be HHH run in after commercial break with the Sledge hammer at around 3 minutes in.

For most of his career he was billed at 6'6 if I'm not mistaken.
