I'm very skinny and slender and im about 6'4''. I am pretty strong, but I was wondering, can skinny people do well in wrestling? I wanted to try it out, the problem is im just about 178lbs and have a pretty low body mass.

It is possible but i suggest you try to gain some weight and go to the gym everyday! Then you have a chance of doing much better and bigger in wrestling!
Good Luck! ;)

Yes, you would be known as a Cruiserweight on SmackDown!. There are people who weigh even less on this show, like 160 pounds. Try to get big muscles, if you don't already own any. Work out twice a day every day, until you receive a contract from a wrestling company, and then keep working out after you join.

I'm 6'2'' and wrestle in the 171lbs weight class for my high school. Its not always about size, I'm a skinny SOB and am not strong compared to most ppl I face, I just have better technic :)

You'll do just fine, I'd say you'll be in the 180 lbs. weight class. If you can keep up with balancing your diet and continue to work out you're all set. I know some people who are skinny as a pole, and their wrestling record is phenomenal.

You can do just fine don't worry and from my point of view you aren't skinny. Rememeber there isn't such thing as wrestling a body.

You should do just fine, use your quickness and you can get away from certain holds, since you are strong too you should do wonders, as long as you stay on your feet, use takedowns and you will score plenty of points to win.
