Is It Possible for Kevin Owens to Lose the Gut?

[bigdaddy88]

The fact vince hasnt buried him says a lot about his talent. The booking been up and down but hes generally in the upper card and every once in while main events not bad for a fat boy

He doesn't care. It's been obvious for years.

Posting Bam Bam Bigelow as a defense of Owens poor physique . Bigelow looked like a guy that could kick your ass. Owens looks like someone you'd ask if the Switch or Switch Lite is better for my every day usage. Part of the problem that wrestling has today is that most of the talent looks like ordinary people and that's not a good thing.

Okay but there's a difference between being huge and being Kevin Owens fat. Kevin Owens is that overweight guy that works in every office. They made him WWE Champion (i.e. the face of the company) at some point which is crazy imo.

We need a thread on this. For all the talk about Vince's muscle fetish and how people get buried for not fitting that mold, a ton of wrestlers who had that bodybuilder look that everyone claims Vince loves has been a complete flop. And not even flop as in midcard for life, but as in total bust and released shortly after. Batista is the only one I can think of off top that became successful.

You know Mick Foley was a popular and succesful wrestler right?

Mick Foley was also an extremist and was crazy AF. Mick Foley got a push because of it. Perhaps I worded it wrong. It's not about being in shape per se as it is being seen as a threat. Kevin Owens is not a threat to anybody. No kayfabe can convince me otherwise.

Triple H was pushed to the moon while looking bloated as fukk from 2004-2006.

Dusty Rhodes is one of the most popular wrestlers of all time and had classics while looking like a plumber.

Triple H is a terrible example. But look, my point is Kevin Owens isn't Rikishi fat to the point where he can't get in decent shape. You don't have to be ripped like Batista or The Rock but the guy looks like he doesn't workout at all. I shouldn't feel like the average breh on the street can whoop this guy's ass , who's supposed to be the world heavyweight champion. Big Show was never really in shape yet he's still threatening to any man at damn near 7 feet 400 pounds. There's big and fat, and then there's just short and husky

Why? It makes him him. Kevin Owen's has all the tools to be that guy for a decent run. He's believable as hell, and you want to root for him as an average guy. Plus his comedic timing is great.

As someone who stopped watching wrestling 15 years ago I'm shocked that a guy that looks like this gets a push. WWE really fell tf off. Athletes are supposed to be in shape, period. Can't respect someone who's job is to be a professional athlete and you don't work on keeping in shape.

Your right.

People like Kevin Owens, Daniel Bryan, Bray Wyatt is why I dont watch wrestling anymore

How can you be a pro wrestler and not have aspirations to achieve that 2000 HHH physique is beyond me

 

[Ill-Yaz]

Kevin Owens doesnt look intimidating at all lol

Except for the vast majority of his career HHH probably had the best physique in the wrestling biz..

So I think we should cut HHH a little bit of slack if he wasnt in his usual great physical conditioning for a year or two. Dont you think?

Exactly. I hate Triple H but even I'll take him over everybody I'm seeing now. Guys like Rock, Triple H, Cena, Lesnar, Angle, Benoit, Guerrero, damn near died for this shyt (and actually did). The gym is supposed to be your life in an industry like this.
