Ziggy Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I dont see why his weight is an issue because he can work at 25 minute match in his sleep and Flop like RVD. Its not like he is getting blown up to where it effects his work or he is lazy, He is the only one with that look so why is it an issue. He is still in a pretty big spot in the card so he isnt being buried yet. Maybe after SS is when you need to worry, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Isn't this similar to what Cornette complained about (and then got ripped apart for)? Owens was told to lose weight when ROH made the jump to Sinclair, he lost a little bit and then proceeded to get back up to a level higher than he was to begin with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go2Sleep Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I know a dude who, upon seeing Kevin Owens for the first time at Elimination Chamber, said it was cool to see someone "who looked like him" making it in WWE. He immediately bought an Owens shirt and later made a pic of KO's tron his facebook banner pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goc Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I'd like to point out that the story of Kevin Dunn telling Orton to say that was attributed to Dave Meltzer who tweeted that he NEVER reported that. So pretty much it was just some shitty newz site making up their own story because "hey it sounds plausible enough and obviously it'll get clicks" and then other shitty newz sites copying and pasting it. Â But the amount of butthurt over Randy Orton's comment is hilarious. There is a 20 page thread on wrestlingforum of people crying about it. I think people should be more upset about Kevin Owens being a liar. He obviously HAS gained weight recently. Â I'd also like to point out that I can not remember one single promo that someone cut on Jerry Blackwell where his opponent DIDN'T call him fat. And that if this was the Attitude Era the very first thing The Rock would do when cutting a promo on Owens is make fat jokes. Some people just seem way too sensitive to watch wrestling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Miner Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I didn't think Owens looked out of place with Cesaro and Orton. Muscles don't make someone the better fighter. Owens still looks like a guy who can fuck somebody up. The only problem with his look is the horrible bull tattoo. Just looks like a cow and makes him look fat proud. Maybe that is his fault there are some people that can get away with a tattoo, barely, that others can't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't this company have writers? They can do better than lame fat jokes, right? Maybe at least some decent fat jokes to start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I also found it kind of funny that Owens got taken down a notch after he ripped on Itami's English and destroyed Solomon Crowe's shitty promo voice. That was a "welcome to the big leagues" type of moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But elevate your trash talk, fuck guys. I love The Rock, but he also made fun of people for being hermies, and it was unfunny then and would be unfunny now no matter how much people in the past talked shit about someone's sex organs or sexuality. If you're going such a lazy route, better elevate that shit like Dr. D yelling I WANTED AH WOH-MANNNN!  Actually, the Rock got away with a lot of shit (popcorn fart, strudel, etc.) face turn on because he's so magnetic as a personality, though that's another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technico Support 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...

Phantom Lord Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 People need to realize that it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to maintain a certain body weight like Kevin Owens. Staying in that magic fat guy zone doesn't happen just cause you eat an extra meatball sub that week. Seriously though, Owens has great cardio and stamina. Rusev is a guy who is clearly better physical shape, but as we saw with the Triple threat last month he doesn't have nearly the cardio and stamina of Owens. Â Unless that was a sell job in which case they need to put him in a movie cause that was masterful acting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie 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. So you guys don't also wear a bloody butcher's apron? Maybe that's why I get those weird looks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 See, I think calling Owens fat is a giant load of bullshit considering WWE's anti-bullying campaign. I guess it's only ok to shame someone on their body weight when the person on the receiving end is the bad guy. Good message there, WWE.

steve Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Also, if it seemed like I was trying to fat shame or be a dick last night, I apologize. Â Truth is, I have cerebral palsy. So, I had an easy excuse to get fat, and stay that way. But, that's all it was, an excuse. Being blunt and truthful with myself was how I made a personal change, and so, I tend to balk pretty hard when I perceive people making excuses. Â That being said, I have no problem with the guy actually being fat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
