He's built like an offensive lineman who are some of the strongest athletes in sports ? Also it's fake , it's like short ass tom Cruise being an action star

Tom Cruise height is constantly hidden from audiences, you think they pair him actresses taller then him :heh:

Offensive lineman aren't stars in the NFL, nice example

Offensive lineman are usually the biggest guys on the field. Im not just talking overweight with a gut. They have larger arms, larger legs, and are physically imposing to the average person. Problem with KO is that when I've seen him in the ring, he doesnt really seem much bigger and sometimes appears smaller than his comp who is in shape.

He don't look like an O-Lineman in the NFL. The average size of an O-lineman in the NFL like 6'4/300 lbs.
Maybe the offensive line of a weekend flag football team made up of co-workers from a hoagie shop but not the NFL.

The point is muscle guys aren't some Symbol of being the best strongest athlete , and you ignore the UFC comparison because it's true .

I am not all that well-versed in MMA fighters so if you can name me a small fat guy in the UFC that is a top fighter I will concede the point to you. Otherwise you would have to admit that in the UFC the fat/flabby looking guys that end up being good are also at the higher weight classes and are not the same size as Joe Sixpack who works at the post office.
And the point about Owens isn't whether he has muscles or not but rather he is not an imposing figure at all. If he was a 6'5 fat guy then pushing him like he was super-tough and intimidating would work but him being barely 6 feet and chubby makes it a hard sell.

I don't see what the big deal is. He doesn't have to be big or muscular to be intimidating. Besides, dude can fukking wrestle his ass off.

Dude is money, 100%.

Its cool now, but let him accidently holler at a married woman at the wrong bar in Syracuse and get "injured" because the dudes that kicked his ass aint intimidated by him, then we'll see why he needs to get in the weight room and get in shape.

The problem I got with this narrative is that the average wrestling fan isn't the casual fan anymore. Meaning most of these wrestling fans today are up on the internet, the dirt sheets, the indies, NXT, the whole nine yards. And people like that don't give a fukk what the wrestler look like as long as he/she can talk, work, and entertain. The casual audience dipped a long time ago, the only true marks left are little kids. You don't need Kevin Owens to be your Reigns/Rock/Cena/Orton/Lesnar/Austin/Hogan thoroughbred athlete face of the company, but I don't see why he can't fill that Mankind/JBL/Jeff Hardy/Eddie/Big Show or even Triple H role, which are valuable roles to be had in the E. It's tricky to say what makes somebody "believable" in 2015, especially from a smark's perspective, so its impossibly retarded to chalk it all down to what somebody's body frame looks like. The time of big muscleheads been dawned, people like Rollins, Punk, Bryan, and Finn Balor are wrestling stars of the modern era.
