Firefighters wrestling championship

Size does matter as for the heavyweight class. But the little guy had a great shot (leg takedown) and could control the match. The skinny guy also had great upperbody takedown defense and unconventional pinning combonations. Basically the little guy used too much technique and out classed the big guy and had enough strenth to prevent from judo (heavyweight) throws which leads to quick pins.

More times than not, the taller wrestler is going to have advantage based on leverage. A shorter, stockier wrestler can generate more power moves from the feet, but once you get on the mat leverage is key.

True but you should keep in mind how old these fireman are....take a close look at thier faces....late 40's early 50's maybe older...all that considered they are doing alright to even be wrestling...lol

seriously? so what does? I don't wrestle so I don't know!

[ilion12345]

@03041976001 technique, strength, heart.

[03041976001]

Just one more question - it is obviously a big disadvantage to be tall or have proportionately long arms and legs in wrestling isn't it? A better physique would be to be short and stocky, regardless of your weight division?

[xxxSpiderVendettaxxx]

@03041976001 not necessarily. i'm actually the shortest in the league i wrestle in and that puts me at a disadvantage for a lot of moves. and for me ( i dont know about others) but i, myself, have to rely on technique because most of the guys i wrestle are football players. So i guess the ideal body type for any wrestler in any weight class would be to be average to slightly above average height and a lot of mucsle (depending on weight class of course)

[DevotedFEAR]

@03041976001 actually its the opposite you want to be tall and skinny or short and skinny or fat and tall like me

[BostonBear]

@ilion12345 except for those niggling weight classes that they implement in collegiate wrestling. :D

[presclinton90]

@BostonBear comments like that are why people are dumb enough to think wrestlings "gay"

[BostonBear]

@presclinton90 you mean wrestling isn't gay? well, learn something new every day.
