Part of the thing with Grimes is his hairy, dumpy look always actually *worked* for him as opposed to ROH era Kevin Steen who looked like a random fan hopped the guardrail. In short; it was the same thing, but Grimes looks categorically less like a generic everyman than Owens. However, the meta issue of the GameStonks gave him a much needed gimmick for WWE's sake, which makes that look kinda unneccessary. We'll see if he gets the "Kassius Ohno treatment" in time.
