Which is all the more reason why it should not try to be "realistic" with skinny, homeless looking, average guys who look like they play video games all day and can't even spell the word "gym" on top. You claim the "real life Superhero" model is outdated yet ignore that before that era began, Bob Backlund was on top for 6 years. Because people still thought of it as real and any run of the mill, normal looking regular joe could be on top. THAT era is over and outdated and should never come back. Wrestling has been outed as scripted entertainment. At this point to try to focus it on "real life guys" is to basically strive to be an openly fake UFC. Or worse... ROH.
