Why do pro wrestlers have chicken legs?

[BigBazooka]

Ever thought of this? Upper torsos of those bozos dwarf their stick legs. There are maybe 2 guys who actually have something that you can call "legs". Others are just sloppy upperbody builders.

Your thoughts on this?

I don't know, but someone was just playing Master P, and what the fuck is a "kizzon"?

If you name the song, I'll tell ya Goatslayer... b/c I figure your spelling is a lil off.

As for the original question, wrestlers cant always have huge legs because they have to be agile and have great jumping ability. Flexibility is another point. Stocky legs are ok to a point, but at some sizes they affect flexibility, agility, etc. I'd say most or all of them have strong legs, but not necessarily big ones.

Traditionally, the general public have never really cared about leg size. The upper body is what they concentrate on right off the bat. The scouts and office folks behind the scenes picked up on this long ago and have encouraged the wrestlers to stack on upper body size before anything else. Basically it's the same reason you see more people in the gym doing bench presses and biceps curls than anything else. Ever notice how there is a wait on the weight benches a lot of the times, while the power racks and the likes are a ghost town half the time?

Why the sky blue?....Why a chicken yellow?.....Why is is my cat's eyes cross sighted?.....Why do some people look like they been hit with an ugly stick?.... It just is.

I think they don't have huge legs because it would slow them down in the ring. It's not like there out there to win a contest or anything.

for the same reason why all the 20 year old kids next to you bench pressing have---THEY DON'T WORK THEIR LEGS!!!!!!!!

well if u think about it, only about 15% of the wrestlers have any kind of aesthetic physique........the rock, hhh, benoit, luger and few others, besides that their just entertainers.

Where the hell do you get your information?! Of course they work legs - dont be unintelligent. Legs are of paramount importance to them. Functional strength, leverage, etc. are all big factors in how they train/act. You cant look at HHH or some of those guys and tell me they dont work their legs. Also, The Rock can do a kip (jump directly from his back to his feet) and that takes tremendous leg strength & power

Cause they haven't or don't play soccer.

Worst Offenders:

1. Maven
2. Edge/Christian
3. Benoit
4. Kayne
5. Lance Storm
6. Chuck Palumbo

The new guy, Randy Orton, in great shape, but not real big. Got more of a basketball player type build, has bigger legs than all these guys.

Big Wheels:

1. Bob Holly
2. Rock
3. Austin
4. Billy Gunn

I can't think of any more.

How about because the typical wrestling fan doesn't notice legs when determining how massive/buff/ripped/in shape/"cool" a guy is?

Hell, I'm a member of this board, and I can't recall whether The Game's legs are particularly huge (I know they're at least good-sized), I can't get past "huge arms, could crush my head in the nook of his elbow".

 

[The Whole F/N Show]

The Rock has pretty big legs but also remember they are wrestlers not competetion bodybuilders. Really large legs may in some ways hinder them in what they are trying to do in the ring. And again their bodies are for show for the general public and the general public doesn't care about legs being proportion as much.

 

[Iron Thrower]

I think Bob Holly, the Rock, and maybe Billy Gunn are the only ones that resemble symmetrical bodybuilders. Bob Holly is a beast. So is Brock Lesnar.
