  • 220# & 224#lbs? REALLY??

  • @CadillacL - No, not really. In Memphis you always subtract 35 pounds from their "official" weight. So that puts Sullivan at 185 lbs and Mantell at 189 lbs. Better?

  • @ChannelExtreme Really? I didn't realize that. Does make since though. I always felt some weighed more/less then was announced.

  • @CadillacL - Yeah, they add 35 lbs. Subtract it and you're a lot closer to the wrestler's actual weight. Works every time. It's more noticable with small guys like Kevin Sullivan, which is probably what got you suspicious. For example, when Downtown Bruno weighs in at 185... you have to call BS on it. He's a buck fifty soakin' wet! :D

  • @TheWookieLuvr I'm not sure if Sullivan was shaving his chest at this time, or if this was before he grew chest hair, but he was very hairy, too. Mantell knew how to sell the hairy chest, too. When the straps come down at 12:01 and he wraps Sullivan with the straps, pulling him next to his chest- he was selling!

  • @TheWookieLuvr - Jerry Lawler always joked that Dutch Mantel "has hair in places that most people don't even have places." LOL. :D

  • Sullivan was in great condition back then. How did he let himself go so badly later?

  • Memphis wrestling was one of a kind,face would cheat as much as the heels.thanks for all the memphis wrestling

  • @ChannelExtreme I also thought bout guys like Malenko, Chavo Jr, Rey, Juvi, mcmg, etc.

  • @ChannelExtreme Exactly, w/Sullivan I was like "You've got to be joking. As far as Bruno, he was 100lbs IF that.
