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

[_brady_]

Saw this last year.

Big Guy:
5'10"
190-200 lbs (lifts everyday, plays rugby everyday)
Grew up getting into street fights, owned a lot of people


Little Guy:
5'6"
130-140 lbs
On the University's wrestling team

Both are pretty drunk at the time, I'd say Little Guy is more drunk. Big Guy taken down in less than 10 seconds, and within two minutes he was choked out.

Ok, so the overwhelming majority of people say this should be an easy win for me due to my size and strength advantage. Thanks! That's the information I was looking for. I'll go ahead and set up the match.

You should ask for 30 to 1 odds. I would still back your friend. Another thing you should know about wrestlers: every wrestler I have known has never lost a fight. This is because on the whole they are nasty little bastards who never really accepted the notion of rules on the mat but had to live with it. You have absolutely no chance but you should ask for the 30-1 just to give yourself a goal.

I actually disagree with a lot of what has been said. I wrestled for one year in HS. I wasn't an all star or anything mostly because I didn't really take it seriously(only did it to get in shape, not so much for the competitive aspect). There were 2 or 3 very skilled guys who had wrestled for a long time. However with everyone else, it pretty much came down to strength and athleticism imo. A lot of wrestling basics are intuitive and natural...stuff like keeping a low center of gravity and leverage. While some advanced moves take a long time to master, I don't think that the basics of wrestling are that hard to comprehend even in your very first match. I think that if you are stronger and quicker and wrestle somewhat conservatively(i.e. don't rush in and be willing to take your time in a long match) then you stand a decent shot.

His friend wrestled "all through high school" and while not a state champ was "better than average". He has no chance.

Get Paul Heyman to order the match to be contested under EXTREME RULEZ or you have no chance.

[natedogg]

if you do the match you should wear a shirt that says "Drink, Fight, F*ck".

Ask Boris to borrow his if you have to.

I bet if it was a 100-man onslaught, you would think differently.

Jschnaud,

What were the stats of your opponent?


Unorginalname,

The things that nobody commented on are these: Can you actually fight at all? Is this going to be a wrestling match, or a fight? If it's a fight, and you can throw a punch, that is, ACTUALLY throw a good punch, you have a decent chance.

Edited to add: OOPS. Missed the part about "wrestling prop bet" Yes, you have no chance. Bet on an actual fight, which would give you a chance and, IMO, be more interesting.
