DM Punk posted:100% agreed, but he's the exception and not the rule. You won't see a dozen of his body type on RAW every week. Mick Foley, Dusty Rhodes, Harley Race, Samoa Joe. Wrestling has a proud tradition of fat dudes.

Interesting Wikipedia nugget WrestleMania XXVII (2011). Triple H's original entrance involved riding a Clydesdale horse from the stage toward the ring. However, during the rehearsal, the horse fell through a trap door that contained The Undertaker's casket. The horse was stuck for hours and was almost euthanized due to the stress it had suffered. As a result of this accident, this ring entrance was scrapped.[citation needed]

The only thing that really matters in wrestling is booking. If you book a dude to look like a star, chances are he will be a star regardless of how they look. Of course that's not going to work for everyone. If body was actually super important in wrestling literally every muscleman vince ever hired would all be main event wrestlers.

You have to have something special to be a star, but it's not necessarily the same for everybody. Some guys get over because of their physique. Other guys get over because of their gimmick. Some guys get over by stellar ring work. Others give great promos Some guys get over because they're just a really believable face or heel. I think that's what makes Owens special — he's just SO believable as this petulant rear end in a top hat wrestler who rationalizes every awful thing that he does.

Kevin Owens is a wonderful dick. That save when he stumbled in his promo was ace. Last thing about this weeks NXT, Bret Hart put on some weight...

That's fine you can have your own taste. But you didn't answer my question. Why do you want a new guy they've established and continue to establish as an important, serious guy to be funny?
