When Hacksaw Jim Duggan and the Iron Sheik were busted by the Police with beer and drugs people were asking why enemies in the ring were friendly outside the ring.

We did security for WWF when they toured Australia i would say it's the greatest show on earth.

Kurt Angle was Olympic Gold medallist in wrestling 1996 Atlanta won it with a broken neck and Brock Lesnar was a UFC champion.

I was on High School wrestling team when i went to school in the US had a Judo background so did well.
We had to run up and down the grandstand stairs in training while the Grid Iron team ran laps around the oval.
The fitness training we did for the wrestling team was some of the hardest i have ever done.

I must have been about 7 or 8 years old when I first saw a wrestling match on television. My first comment about it was "They are not even hitting each other".

Pro-wrestling is just for entertainment. A bunch of actors that are physically fit and can do various kinds of moves.

That's true except what they do is very dangerous -
most of them end up with career ending injuries -
surviving on operations and pain killers.

When I was a kid I saw King Curtis and Mark Lewin -

Did anyone think that Arnold Schwarzenegger was a big guy?
Well he is 6'2" tall  or  1.88 m.

He doesn't look so big in this picture against Andre the Giant.



Wilt Chamberlain and Andre the Giant taking Arnold Schwarzenegger for a stroll. Btw Arnold is 6'2

Schwarzenegger is 180cm tall at most. He was given an extra 3 inches in height due to exaggerations in the media.

We could all do with an extra 3 inches.

I saw Arnold in person in Columbus Ohio in about 1995 or 96 at the Arnold Sports Festival. He walked between myself and my friend within a few feet of us before we were separated by his entourage of security. We are both just under 6′1. My friend and I looked down at him, looked at each other in surprise, then looked back down at him. There is no way Arnold is over 6 feet. All these posts who say he’s 6′1 or 6′2 are full of it. Love the guy though, his doc on Netflix is awesome. masters body building, then quits competition, masters Hollywood, then masters politics Amazing person.

He's roughly the same height as Danny Devito.

Given that Schwarzenegger is one of the most famous people I have ever been near in my life, it is unforgettable to note how he was only a couple inches taller than I. Of course being 180cm tall is no "short arse" stature. But he is not as tall as someone like Maria Sharapova, who happens to be 185cm tall (although she has been measured as being 188cm tall.

Both Chamberlain and Rousimoff are legit 7ft tall people. They would be a minimum of a foot taller than Schwarzenegger.
