Who, IYO, is the fittest, most athletic wrestler right now?

So a bunch of guys in my gym were talking about this topic, and it turned into a surprisingly good debate, so I thought It'd be interesting to hear what long time fans think.

When I look at the roster right now I see a lot of formerly fit guys who let themselves go for whatever reason (Jericho comes to mind), but at the same time I'm very impressed by the younger guys, especially Morrison and Orton.

I ultimately choose Orton though, because even though he's not as acrobatic as Morrison nor does he have his insanely low body fat percentage, the way that his body is conditioned and the speed of his reflexes are extremely impressive for someone of his weight division.

Of course I'd choose RVD if he was still active.

So, what do you guys think?

Morrison easily

Morrison easily

Turk130

He is insanely in shape. I bet he just lifts his shirt up and gets mauled by 20 women.

Let's see. The top 10 guys (in no particular order) in the WWE that are in top condition are:

1. John Morrison

2. Randy Orton

3. John Cena

4. Batista

5. Evan Bourne

6. Shelton Benjamin

7. Cody Rhodes

8. Ted Dibiase

9.  Kofi Kingston

10. Undertaker

Evan Bourne and John Morrison have those skinny tight Bruce Lee tight bodies that look very appealing.

But Orton wins hands down.

This thread has homosexual over-tones all over it... especially with sephy's post... :P

I've now just realised that it does :P

The ROGC always votes Ortonsephy37

I'm a happily married man, and I don't have to be gay to appreciate the hard work that athletes go through in order to ascend the fitness ladder.:P

4. Batista

An untrained eye can look at Batista and think that he's in great shape because of how he looks, but as someone who knows a thing or two about fitness I can tell you that there's nothing impressive about him. There's a lot more to being fit than looking good, and this is something that a lot of people don't realize. While Batista is big and muscular his cardiovascular conditioning is non-existent (the guy is out of breath from just doing his intro!), and I'm willing to bet anything that the guy is on a variety of illegal substances to get to where he is. He kinda reminds me of Brock Lesnar before he started his MMA training.

Sorry for rambling... I just felt like pointing that out.

Umaga. There is something about that belly of his that just makes my knees shake.

The Dude should see, so...

*BUMP*

John Morrison. Discussion over.

... Seriously, the only person in America that doesn't want John Morrison's abs is John Morrison... because he has them already.

Post of the year.

Orton has a hot body. I don't care how gay I sound saying it. It needs to be said.Demonic_Jin

In that case...

John Morrison has a hot body. I don't care how homosexual I sound saying it. It needs to be said.Link

I still say Orton. He has that perfect balance of slim and lean and muscle. It's not as good looking as Morrison's, but as wrestler's body goes, it's better.sephy37

... and a better, less radioactive tan.

Oh, I am finding the lack of bickering and snide remarks really refreshing, so I'm definitely enjoying my stay here so far.:)

 -----------------------

I'm going to elaborate a bit on why I chose Orton over Morrison:

Like I said, I find Morrison extremely impressive in almost every way, but what makes me put Orton over him is really two mean things, one being that Orton is simply better from a cardiovascular standpoint despite of the weight difference between the two (you can tell by the fact that Orton is almost never out of breath, and his reflexes are insanely fast), and two being that I personally respect the fact that Orton is this athletic through sheer hard work and not because he hit the genetic jackpot like Morrison.

How do I know that Morrison has amazing genes, you ask? Simple, no one can maintain that Bruce Lee-like body fat percentage (which is the number 1 reason why his abs pop out like that) all year round without having amazing genes. The rest of us have to go through what's known as 'peaking' in order to look that way for a while.

Well the reason he is never out of breath is because he spams Chinlocks.

Dark_Hylian8

Hah again, although even if Umaga isnt very muscular, he is still a large fellow that can get up that rope, execute quick moves and endure long matches without appearing blown up. That, to me, says something.thisisasignin

I take back what I said previously and present Evidence A in my choice for most athletic/fittest wrestler right now...

Kota Ibushi

The term "action figure" comes to mind...

I will put it this way: if you compare Umaga to a Mic Foley, the difference in the two becomes obviousLink256

For the record...I am talking in terms of muscle...

I think it is worth mentioning that while back there was a topic on Wrestling Man Crush....

By far THE gayest topic ever, just because the way people are responding to it. But anyways I guess I'll join the gayness of the topic and say that for me top five fittest wrestlers right now would be: Morrison, Orton, Kofi, Bourne, and Ric Flair... :| lol jk AJ Styles. No particular order, they just seem as the guys who are in the best shape (no homo of course) and seem like they have really good chardio compared to most wrestlers.lilhbk

I'm just saying.

I would say undertaker or hbk. They have the best and longest matches, even though they aren't as cut as some of the other guysThe_Last_Ride
