Why do pro wrestlers have chicken legs?

[beefybull]

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

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.

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?

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.

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.
