Would you sell for someone under 200 lbs?

Working myself into a shoot? By asking a few questions of the guy saying he won't sell for someone under 200lbs failing to think of the Rey Mysterios and Daniel Bryans who have faced not just physically big wrestlers, men 6'7" and up and over 300lbs but big name wrestlers. It's obvious you haven't been around long enough. Guaranteed 200lb CM Punk or 175lb Daniel Bryan shows up and you will look like HBK vs Hogan.

PS, on Sherdog, everyone is at least 6'4" 225lbs with 10%bf or less, benching 500+, deadlifting 900+, a blackbelt in BJJ, former high school and college wrestler, dating only 10s. You're right, anonymity is best :)

You took my post way too seriously. You obviously haven't been around long enough because you've been worked jabroni.

Good job Donny. You've done well, pat yourself on the back
 
People sold for Dan Henderson, and by wrestling standards he is a manlet.
 
TS in action at the national guard armory last weekend.

That's okay TS I won't sell for you either. And I'm not dropping the belt in Canada. Not because I'm Canadian, but because I don't like them snowbacks.
 
it’s fake

you think Tyrese wanted to sell for Rick Grimes? Got his ass whooped.
 
Doesn't matter...
The level you're at now = nobody gives a shit.
The level you want to get to = you'll be told exactly how and when to sell.

It's stiill the individual's call; Bruiser Brody wouldn't even see for Luger who get so scared Brody was about to start shooting that he climbed out of the cage and ran to the backstage area. Despite not selling for people promoters might have wanted him to sell for, Brody still made a ton of money because the fans loved to see him wrestle. Having Brody on the card always meant they'd sell a lot more tickets than without him.

Working yourself into a shoot? Wy would he say that to you? Or anyone else? That doesn't even make sense. Shooting is the opposite of working.

I gotta be honest, I don't feel right selling for people smaller than me. I think I have a 180 limit. Every time I've wrestled a smaller dude I've done the David vs Goliath match and I can't see it changing any time soon. These geeks gotta know their place.

Are you a heavyweight? Unless you aren't, why would you even be wrestling someone under 180? That's a junior heavyweight at best. Part of the idea of pro wrestling is that the wrestlers should be bigger and tougher than the average fan, right? How is he gonna protect the business if anytime he's in public he has to worry about a fan beating him up? Probably one of the oldest rules is that if you get into fight in public, you cannot lose. You have to win and if you don't you make a mockery of your promotion and won't have a job anymore. I've heard that from Tully Blanchard, Bill Watts and other legendary guys from the wrestling business. Tully talked about how Baby Doll beat up a Marine. Even his valet was tough!
