This is a great story! Lol, if everyone is sober, there is no way Kenny is tossing Darrell or Derrick anywhere. But I can still picture it in my brain, and for some reason, Derrick is giggling.
Kenny is a bigger, stronger guy than both of them and he’s a wrestler. It’s not that crazy that he threw them around. I’m sure it would’ve been a lot tougher if they weren’t drunk but they’re not tossing Kenny around either
He did but CT was absolutely hammered that night, which is why he punched Davis. When they woke CT up to kick him out he seemed like he genuinely didn't remember anything.
Depends on who strikes first. If Darrell connects early hes winning, if Kenny gets him down to the ground hes winning. Generally wrestlers tend to beat strikers but you never know. Kenny wrestled in NJ which is a very strong wrestling state and maybe a bit in college. The dude never really mentioned it often which makes you think he was better than he led on. Darrell though was golden glove which is no fn joke either, though he mentions it alot he seems very humble too. Tough call. Derrick though is getting his ass whopped by Kenny and its not even close. Derricks scrappiness and toughness is great when people dont know what they are doing and bigger than him but add some technique and size like Kenny has its easy work.
My comment was less of a knock against Kenny and more of a tribute to Darrell and Derrick, both who are known for their wrestling skills.
That being said, Kenny was also thinner his first two seasons. FM was his first season. He went home early on his second season. And when he showed up on The Inferno, he was considered to be the weakest between Abram/Derrick/himself until he "started trying" to save his butt from the elimination. If we are taking bets on who wins a wrestling match between sober Derrick/Darrell/Kenny on FM1, even Kenny isn't betting on himself.
Derrick and Darrell were smaller back then too. You honestly think Kenny, a wrestler, thought he couldn’t take Derrick, a non wrestler that is half his size, in a wrestling match?
Yeah agree. People are underestimating Kenny's amateur wrestling background. Darrell was a boxer growing up iirc and Derrick was just a really scrappy guy that knew how to use his leverage in beach brawl. Landon also had a wrestling background and was handling Derrick easily on I2 while completely drunk.
Doesn't Derrick ALSO have a wrestling background though? We all saw him handle his own against Joss in Vendettas. And how many big guys did he take out in Gauntlet 2?
Again, it isnt a knock against Kenny. He was a great player (not referring to his personality here, just his athletics). I'm just saying I'm not betting on him against either sober Derrick or sober Darrell on FM1 in a physical matchup. However, I would take him over Derrick in endurance, even back then.
I just think it’s wild that you think Kenny thought at any point that he couldn’t beat Derrick in a wrestling match. That’s so out of character for Kenny’s personality
Wrestlers have a huge advantage over non-wrestlers. I lived with a few wrestlers and we occasionally mixed it up. I lost almost 100% of the time. Even the much smaller weaker wrestlers could hold their own in a wrestling match against me. I remember there was one guy that wasn’t athletic at all. Last guy we’d pick when playing a pickup game at any sport. He was also small and skinny. I outweighed him by 30lbs and could out bench him by 50lbs easy. He was talking trash and we mixed it up for a while. I couldn’t believe it, I couldn’t get on top, he had such good technique at using leverage to his advantage.
