Remember when Chris Jericho was doing the triple powerbomb or whatever when he first got to the WWE?

WWE should have an overweight championship. They should also bring back Mickie James.

On one hand, he needs to definitely at least look like he cares about how he looks. Looking like an out of shape bum might get him by in the Indys, but you have to at least pretend to give a shit when you're in the big leagues.
On the other hand, "getting into shape" in WWE language often means Steroids, and I can also get why he wouldn't want to do that. |

Hero can just use Punk as an example.
Punk bulked up years ago, then now he is more lean and athletic. But he looks like an athlete. Hero looks Clox in the ring. |

If he were just walking down the street, with a shirt on, I dour anyone would stop and consider to him to be fat, so yeah good job on not being fat. But he's definitely not in shape, especially in a profession where you're paid to look like an athlete and usually doing so topless.

If he just trimmed down he'd be fine, he doesn't need to be ripped to shreds. Like Gertner said, look at Jericho most of the time. He usually comes back from his absent stretches pretty ripped, but usually he's just well built.
Better yet, look at Edge. He was never really ripped or hugely muscular, but he never looked like a slob either. |

It sucks that a guy with so much talent, in the ring and on the mic, gets a bad rep for not looking like he's in shape... even if he has proven he can go in the ring...

To be fair, JBL was several years past his prime at that point. He was champion for 9 months and was a legit main eventer, he could get away with it.
Hero is a fucking WWE nobody. |

Plus his whole deal was he was a 6'6" beer swilling Texan for so long leading up to that and that's what they're expected to look like.

the steroids excuse is past it. Most of these guys coming in don't have a Benoit/Guerrero/HHH circa 2002 body. You're seeing natural bodies come in, which is why guys like Daniel Bryan, Seth Rollins and so forth are coming in. From the workouts I've been seeing WWE guys do, it's mostly about athletic training and athletic bodies. They do olympic lifts and deadlifts and the like.
Even look at Big E Langston.... he is fucking absolutely massive but you can tell he is naturally just that huge, he doesn't look like Batista, he is just a thick, terrifying man. Chris Hero or Kassius Ohno does not look like a fatass, he simply looks like he doesn't give a fuck and is out of shape. All they want from his is to just trim down a bit, and if he can't do that as an athlete then he doesn't deserve a push. |

As far as Jericho goes, he looks better now than he did 5 years ago.

JBL was probably in his 40s when that picture was taken, nearly a decade older than Ohno.

Because WWE is the pinnacle, and unless his gimmick is that he's an out of shape piece of shit, it makes the company look bad.

I agree that if he was told to get in shape, then he definitely should, but I couldn't care less about his physique either way. It's not one of the things I watch wrestling for.

Keep in mind that Ohno is not a young man, either. He's like 34 in a few months. As he gets older his body is going to get harder to maintain. Now that he's not on television and can focus on appearing to be fitter and not being able to use "But look at my ring work!" as an excuse, he might actually get a handle on it and be given props by management for turning himself around. It's not just Ohno who has been pulled for weight issues. Weren't the WWE concerned about Brodus Clay, Big Show and Bray Wyatt at different points? It's not a nail in your coffin. It's all down to Ohno's attitude and what he does from here. |

I'm sure they tried to sign Ohno at the same time as Cesaro but he failed his medical for whatever reasons and delayed him being signed for several months. Might even be that this isn't just an aesthetics thing and there's an underlying health problem.

He should. He is a pro wrestler who's only job is to stay in shape and wrestle a few matches a week in developmental. If he cant show dedication to the craft he can fuck off.
He looks like shit. This shit matters in entertainment. Why do you think Megan Fox has a job? We live in a world where looks matter, and basement dwellars like yourself can try to convince yourself otherwise, but there is a reason Hero will never make it, and Natalya is a fart gimmick that follows a giant around instead of headlining the divas division. |
