If WWE was like the UFC..

[Mark Cranston]

If the WWE past and present roster was split into weight divisions, which do you think would be the most or least entertaining? I have included a max ten per division, so plenty wrestlers have been missed.

Personally I think Welterweight and Bantamweight would be the most entertaining and Super Heavyweight and Middleweight would be the least entertaining.

You missed Road Dogg's weight.

I am not familiar enough with UFC to know the weights. Which weight class gets what numbers?

It's not possible to make a WWE roster with current UFC weights, people like the big show are just too big for the UFC. For example, the most famous UFC fighter at the moment is arguably Conor Mcgregor and he weighs 150lbs, Which is 5 lbs heavier than spike dudley the lightest included. So i've just broken them down into the fairest way possible that i could perceive.

The upper weight limit for a heavyweight participant in ufc is 265lbs, there is no weight division higher. Brock Lesnar is billed at 286lbs therefore it can be assumed either he dropped down in weight, or the wwe exagerates weight. The former makes more sense to me. But yes, WWE superstars are considerably larger. They would be cut off at the welterweight level i have fabricated if it was to be the UFC.

WWE fakes weights and heights all the time

WWE fakes weights and heights all the time

I don't doubt that for a moment but I can only go by what numerous websites bill them at. In any case, it wasn't really the point to make a direct comparison to the UFC. The point was to suggest what the WWE might be like if it was arranged like the UFC, where similar weights wrestled each other, and to see which ones would be the most entertaining. I am not an expert on UFC WWE transitions.

As a man who watches a lot of promotions who operate with actual weight limits. I'd wager that these limits would still largely be kayfabe. Guys would be able to move in between fairly easily if they just fit the right height criteria. Just put on about five - ten pounds of muscle mass and you're a heavyweight

Yeah no doubt but again it was more a means of separation than looking to actually start a revolution of the WWE, they would be very easily interchangeable but as it doesn't really exist, it doesn't really matter.
