Is so damn out-of-shape. I can't stand even looking at him in the ring these days.
Can't the guy get to a gym?

If you said that to his face, he would cut such an amazing promo on you that you might never speak again.
Also, he might kick your ass.
What else really needs to be said?

I think he looks fine. He isn't cut, but he seems to be in okay shape.

We don't work out at the palace of wisdom, we drink beer by the pitcher.

I think it's obvious that he's working through a lot of pain. I am surprised he took so many back bumps in his PPV match with Cena. I believe the pain has affected his ability to work out the way he did when he was younger.

I agree that he is ounot is the same shape he used to be, but I still enjoy some of his matches. And his promos are good. *Puts up anti-flame shield*

I would never say it to his face though, as a card carrying member of the IWC, I am able to pick on wrestlers physiques when they carry spare tires and have large manboobs behind their backs and without an ounce of in-ring ability myself. Still doesnt change the fact he looks horrendous in the ring. I dont hate the guy, he just needs new attire.

Eh, he's in better shape than a lot guys that were successful and believable. Adrian Adonis and Bam Bam Biggelow for example.

Yea, but those guys were talented for the most part. Part of Bigelow's gimmick was that he was this relatively fat guy doing some pretty crazy stuff.
Before Adonis blew up size wise, he was arguably one of the best workers in the business, and when he did get big, he had a gimmick to fall back on that fit his look.
JBL's style doesnt fit his physique IMO. He just seems like an out-of-shape middle aged weekender.

I think JBL has had some amazing matches with Finlay, John Cena, and Eddie Guerrero.

Im not talking about the past. I'm talking about since JBL's return. I agree he had some good matches prior to retirement, but since his comeback he's been pretty much terrible outside of some of his promos.

Well, all the JBL/Finlay stuff was post-retirement. I'll agree that not all of his stuff lately has been his best, but he's had some pretty big moments and been in some decent matches. All things considered, I'm glad he's wrestling again.

You also have to remember that post retirement, he's gotta be working in pain most of the time due to the back injury he had. I find alot of his stuff very watchable, and some pretty entertaining IMO.

Seriously, he needs to lose weight. It's become unacceptable to me.
Now if he was fat but quick, or seriously talented, I would be okay. But really he just punches, kicks, and generally moves slow and appears to be hiding the pain he is in from his long-term injuries.

You're missing the point. WWE has a lot of talented guys, but there are only so many that can sell a feud no matter who they are paired with. JBL is one of those few guys.

So in the Samoa Joe thread on the TNA side, everyone is 'Yeah, it's cool to be fat, it fits his gimmick, he wouldn't be the same without it' and all this, but with JBL, because he isn't some chiseled 300 pounder like Batista he gets flack. He's a bar brawler. That's his ring style. He's in good enough shape for it. I also think reports of his back injury are exagerrated. Why would he have taken all those bumps, and then started calling himself 'better than ever' after the match if he was about to retire again. It's seemed like he wasn't wrestling all that regularly, and then ever since that story he's been working as much as any other guy, in more brutal matches than anyone else. And whoever said he isn't talented or interesting...you're wrong.

JBL's my attainable body shape if I ever decided to wrestle, so I'm glad there's someone like him.
