Prop bet: Bigger/stronger vs smaller/weaker guy w/wrestling training

to answer the above questions:

i would squat to just past 90 degrees, not sure what to depth is.

i tried to overpower the guy and just got owned. skill and the knowledge of how to use leverage will kill you. doesnt really matter how much more you weigh. check out some sumo wrestling, the fattest guy doesnt always win.

Steven J. Levitt proved in Freakonomics that sumo wrestling is rigged.

If he was considered above average, you probably don't stand much of a chance. You don't have enough weight on him to give you any considerable edge.

i've never had much upper body strength but when i wrestled in high school i routinely beat guys who were much stronger than me who obviously also knew how to wrestle. technique/stamina can make up for a lot.

so basically you are gonna get murdered, and have literally zero chance to win, and i want to bet on your friend

U,

Push the bet off as long as you can and get a wrestling coach.

You're gonna get your ass whooped, unless you're like on-steroids strong.

We had a guy in highschool come in half season that was ridiculously strong (and possibly on 'roids) and his technique disadvantage was HUGE. He weighed 230 pounds at 5'11 or so, and didn't cut so he competed heavyweight. He was a senior. Our heavyweight was a big fat 265 pound freshman. In the wrestle-off, the freshman won.

That said, after a couple weeks of hard work the guy got a lot better. Because he was a senior he got the spot on the varsity team, and as far as I remember, didn't do so bad. So if you must do this bet, I suggest finding a coach.

You will get owned. But I think with 3 weeks of training you should stand a decent chance if you have 30 pounds on him and more muscle.

[Kneel B4 Zod]

your only chance is to distract the referee and have your evil tag team partner hit the wrestler over the head with a steel chair. for good measure, I would then eat the turnbuckle.

(I wrestled for 2 years, and I got supremely owned by guys who knew what they were doing. You have no chance. If I were you, I would figure out what is illegal in actual wrestling, and try do those things in an attempt to fluster/confuse your opponent. But this probably won't work, and may not be allowed per your prop bet. Either way, please tape this and host on youtube, will be funny to watch)

Damn, I wrestled in high school (nothing special, 2x state qualifier in MI) and opened this thread expecting everyone hating on the wrestlers. Needless to say i'm pleasantly surprised to see OOT is right on.
