This is what I see when I see Owens. Tank was my favourite UFC fighter growing up.

Exactly. If you book him like a badass, it would not be at all unrealistic just because he's a fatty. It's not that he looks intimidating per se. It's that he looks like he COULD be intimidating. Book him as such and it would work. If Tank Abbott was a big fat jobber, you'd say "lol Look at this fat fuck." But since he was actually a badass, his look warrants a different reaction. Owens has everything it takes to pull off the same thing if booked right.

Probably also helped in Abbott's case he was a little legit crazy while in WCW to the point he actually threatened to kill and beat up people there. Even him pulling a knife on Goldberg wasn't supposed to be done the way it was on tv I think.

Thank you. Owens doesn't remind me of Tank Abbott. Owens reminds me of a fat fuck playing pro-wrestler.

He's fit so he's not a fat fuck. He could probably beat you in a mile race.

Holy fuck, you people really don't get it, do you? There's a difference between perception and reality. I don't give a fuck if Kevin Owens can climb mountains like Brian Blessed -- it's what people think. What does your average person think when they look at Kevin Owens?

Didn't they do some sort of testing group a year or so back and Owens tested "surprisingly low?" I wouldn't hold onto that one instance forever, but for fuck's sake some people have their head up in the clouds.

Thing is, Noid, none of us can answer that question because we're not "average people." Even you are just speculating really (albeit educated speculation.) Honestly everyone is different even when talking about the "average." I'd argue that many people are going to have wildly different reactions to anyone you put in front of them. It all really boils down to demographics and what subcultures the person in question subscribes to. That's why I think it's stupid to aim for a casual audience because there are just so many variables in today's society. Even so-called "mainstream" stuff like Kanye West and the Kardashians are extremely divisive nowadays. Honestly I think the best thing for wrestling is to own up to what they are and then provide a lot of variety in that. Have your Owenses, Balors, etc as top guys while still having your Goldbergs and your Reignses mixed in too. Just my two cents anyway.
