I think a lot of the wrestlers' height and weight are exaggerated. esp the
bigger wrestlers like Big Show.

I thought I responded to this yesterday, but I don't see the post, so I'll
go over again.
Um... no way in hell was he even 6'6", let alone 6'9" (the height he'd have
to be to be 6" taller than 6'3"). Like I said... I'm 6' even and he REALLY
wasn't very much taller than me... about 3-4 inches.
In addition to that, no.. no exaggeration, ZERO FAT on his body.. and the
shirt he was wearing was damn near form fitting, so his shirt couldn't have
been hiding much. I went into the locker room at one point and he was
sitting in the sauna... but, I didn't go in there because, well, he saw that
I'd just walked in when I first approached him... so, if I'd gone in there,
I'd have clearly been following him.. and I didn't wanna do that.
Matter of fact, my cousin Christopher is almost 22... he's been a huge
wrestling fan since the day he was born and I thought about calling him and
telling him to come to the gym because my aunt and uncle only live about a 5
minute drive from the gym. BUT, I didn't do that because I didn't wanna be
a dick. Plus, I figured, he's not there to meet and greet fans... he's
there for a quick workout the day after a PPV and is on his way to Cleveland
..
I just can't wait for my cousins from Kentucky to come home the weekend of
June 12... Tyler is going to be 18 ON the 12th and his brother is 14... I
already called Tyler and told him and he was kinda in awe on the phone.

cuz he's pretty fat in the gut the past couple years. When I met him back in
'01 at Vengeance, he was at least 6" taller than me and I'm 6'3" and he was
in dress shoes.

had no clue that there was a PPV last night... let alone in Detroit.

> Went to my gym today (Bally's)... got there... went walking towards the
treadmills and all the cardio stuff... and realized that there was this dude
that looked JUST LIKE Kane. WAIT! IT IS KANE!!! I walked up to him and
approached him VERY CAUTIOUSLY... both because I was caught off guard and
was trying to think of what to say real quick and had about 10 seconds to do
so. Second... because frankly, he didn't look like he was in a good mood.
>
> So, I walked up to him... "hey.. I don't mean to bother you or anything,
but you look a lot like Glen Jacobs"... he looked at me and smirked and said
"I am". While this small part of the opening conversation is going on... he
s getting off the bike and starts walking toward the cleansers to clean the
equip off. So... before I could turn around, he sticks his hand out to shake
mine... so that put me at ease real quick. So, I shook his hand and he looks
at me and says "what's up?".
>
> I said to him "oh, nothing, you're actually catching me off guard... I
ve been following the company for 28 years... I really appreciate what you
do". He thanked me for that... then I said to him (sorry, I couldn't resist.
. this came out before I could even think about censoring it)... but I said,
"I'm not fond of the current product, but I appreciate what YOU do". He
started laughing and said to me, "that's cool, I'm glad you're a fan... I
know what you mean about the current product, I get that a lot".
>
> So, I told him I'd let him be because I didn't wanna be one of those
annoying fans.. especially when you're working out. He thanked me for that.
>
> So... he was there for about a total of 30 min. while I was there. he
musta been there for a while... cuz when I first saw him he was already
sweating HARD... So.. I'm standing at the counter at the front of the gym
talking to the manager and desk clerk because I've been there for 3 years...
so I know everyone very well. They, along with about 2 other people in the
gym actually knew who he was, too.
>
> So, he comes walking out and was getting read to leave... I said to him
would I be outta line asking for an autograph?"... he was like "yeah, i can
do that".
>
> So... being that I had NOTHING else on me (I was wearing my all black
Michael Jackson shirt that has almost zero white on it)... so I took my shoe
off really quick because I had on my light gray Nike Air Reax. So, I took
that off and had him sign the back of it.
>
> So... all in all... very cool guy... he was very down to earth, very
receptive... but I will say two things about him that surprised me.
>
> First of all... he is NOWHERE NEAR as tall as they bill him. They bill
him at like 6'10" or 7', right? He's more like about 6'4"... 6'5" and even 6
5" is PUSHING IT... he clearly wears lifts on TV.
>
> Second, this dude IS built like a frickin' brick house.. and i mean
BRICK HOOOOUUUSSSEEE... this guy is HUGE muscle wise. Very skinny for his
size... but his hands were like the size of a frickin' laptop computer.
Matter of fact... you know those laptop mini's? His hands are literally
about that big.. and the thickness of a bible, lol.
>
> Being that his hands are that big... i can only imagine how big Big Show
s hands are.
>
> But... this dude is like 150% muscle... not an ounce of fat on his body.
. one of the most purely built guys I've ever seen in my life.
