Super Weak Machine Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 If KO took his shirt off and wore MMA gloves would that be ok? Only if he rubs his belly like Roy Nelson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Damn it. Now I want a Kevin Owens-Yano match. Further, I want Owens to take off his shirt and slap his belly like Kimala while Yano just stands there stalling and making wacky faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie M. Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 KO's not even fat enough to be a fat guy wrestler. Or tall enough really. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Short little roly-poly cannonball dudes are cool, too. Exhibit A: Koko B. Ware. Exhibit B: Carl Ouelette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Sure, but neither do Ambrose, Harper, Wyatt, Reigns, ad nauseum. Reigns wears a flap jacket with his detailed logo. That's not something the average person wears in everyday life. Likewise Wyatt's Texas Chainsaw apron when he has it on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Comedian Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Kevin Owens should be proud to be fat-shamed by Vince. That puts him in the company of men like Adrian Adonis, Buddy Rose, and Vader... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I like KO, but I agree that his gear reeks of "backyard wrestler". On an old shoot interview, Bobby Heenan wisely said that the workers need to stand out from the people in the crowd, and wear gear that makes them look like a wrestler. Owens doesn't. While I agree in essence with Heenan's point, one thing I'd point out is that Owens' gear sets him apart in today's environment because he's the only one dressing that way in WWE-- it's not like he's on some crap indy where there are 20 other guys in basketball shorts. I mean, really, do people want him in some shitty Bull Dempsey singlet or something? Or maybe take the Samoa Joe route and pull his trunks up to his tits? what he's got going now works for him, in my opinion. I've said it here before, but the only other acceptable gear for a guy with that body style is Bam Bam's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On an old shoot interview, Bobby Heenan wisely said that the workers need to stand out from the people in the crowd, and wear gear that makes them look like a wrestler. Owens doesn't. I think times have changed now, though. We used to talk about how fans could live vicariously through Austin because everyone had a dickhead boss they hated. Plus, Austin drove a pickup and drank beer. He talked shit. In 2015.. Owens is relatable. He's a wrestling fan who dresses like a wrestling fan and cuts promos that sometimes sound like messageboard arguments. Ah so that's why I don't get Owens he's appealing to those who only wearing wrestling shirts and spend all their time on Reddit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie M. Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I think Owens could stand to lose the basketball shorts and put some wrestling tights on. Even Foley wore tights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Yeah, I mean, wrestling shirts.. what a bunch of marks!!

Niners Fan in CT Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Ah so that's why I don't get Owens he's appealing to those who only wearing wrestling shirts and spend all their time on Reddit I would have said he's appealing to everyone who grew up on messageboards and watched super indies as an alternative to terrible WWE bullshit from the mid-2000s but yes.. some do fit that profile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 What I don't understand is why he's letting himself become fatter now... like, he proved he could do it in NXT, so now that he's got the bigger stage, he decides to get lazy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 That was my initial thought, too. But what about every other call up that manages to maintain? As a formerly obese-turned-skinny dude, at the end of the day, it comes down to calories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 So because he's fat, he can't help but get fatter? ETA: I don't care if he weighs 700 pounds. I'm a fan of the guy. All my point was, was at some point, it's a lack of discipline somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 It's also a lot easier to eat well when at the performance center. Bryan, for one, has talked at length about how hard it is to eat well on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
