Which WWE stars can actually wrestle?
Question
Hello Vinny Smith,
I am a big WWE fan! Unfortunately, I do not watch any other wrestling program except the WWE and TNA. I saw on your "expertise" that you're quite familiar with the WWE, I hope that you can help me out here. Below, you will find a list of the WWE roster and who I think "can" and "cannot" really wrestle. Can you please tell me if my assumption is "correct" or "incorrect." Please use "YES!" and "NO!" for your response. Thank you very much for taking the time to respond to this inquiry. If you do not want me to ask any more questions, please let me know because I do not want to bother/be an inconvenience to anyone.

Answer
How are you doing LG?
This question made its way to the community pool and I have chosen to take on this question for you. First of all, amateur wrestling is a far different world then professional wrestling. Many WWE wrestlers have some amateur wrestling, usually wrestled in high school. With the exeption of Kurt Angle, nobody can really wrestle by what I gather is your definition. I have seen John Morrison and Batista grapple with army combatives instructors and hold their own, but that was more defensive then actual wrestling.
So most of those answers would be no. However, due to professional wrestling experience, everybody's name on the list is a better fighter and wrestler then 90% of the rest of the world.
I know this doesn't answer the question the way you want, but this answers the question to the bestr of my ability.
behind the scenes.
