Holy christ, these threads always make it creepily clear what bizarre ideas some of you people have about the way men's bodies should and shouldn't look. Or maybe wrestling is a business usually dominated by very muscle-bound ripped guys, so having guys like Bo Dallas or Sin Cara around makes it much more noticeable that they're not in as good shape as a lot of the other wrestlers. The same way it would stand out if a Diva wore no makeup, had small breasts and a pudgy stomach. It pretty much comes with the job to look a certain way and if you don't, you're gonna stand out.

What does your body look like? The classic "Who's Your Girlfriend?" defense.

Where is this Young Paul Wight? I'd pay to see the Average Show!

Honestly, I don't think there's any active wrestler for WWE that looks bad, or at least looks like they don't belong.
I know Bull Dempsey's getting shit on a lot, but ffs, fighting professionally is his job. Put him in and Dolph Ziggler in just a t-shirt and jeans, put them in front of 10 people who have never heard of them and ask them who they think the professional wrestler is, and the majority will say Bull Dempsey.
Back on topic, there really isn't anyone on the roster that doesn't look like they fit the archetype of a professional wrestler. But if anything, I don't think it'd hurt a lot of the wrestlers to look a little less clean cut and a little more rugged. 34 inch waists and 6 pack abs are great and fit the ideal image (or at least Vince's ideal image), but so do hairy chests, thick frames, beard stubble and soft midsections.

What does your body look like? Not great at all. What does that have to do with this thread? You answered your own question.

It reminds me of when someone made a thread about what wrestler guys here could beat up, and some people said Cody, he was a popular answer. Cody is WWE slim, but he's not a small dude, and realistically, he'd probably beat the shit out of most of us, easily. People lose perspective on how strong wrestlers are. Hell, look at Shelton Benjamin. He's medium sized by WWE standards, but he was huge compared to most ROH guys. That thread was hilarious.Maybe i am insulting someone by saying that,but i think that people saying they could,unless they legit have some martial art or training their belt,don't have much idea about fights to say that. Anyway Hard to say worst body since most of then are in shape or look intimidating I wanna say Goldust,but i can't tell with his bodysuit. Based on how svelte he's looking I think Goldust is likely in the best shape he's been in since the 90s.

Also, Fandango's twin gave me pause.

Am I the only one who doesn't have a problem with how Bull Dempsey looks?
Maybe it's just how my mind sees people after the insane standards set by Big Daddy V in his Suspenders Run...

That'd be akin to telling me that because I'm pale, I can't make jokes about any wrestlers on here based on their paleness or laugh at anything regarding said paleness. Except that I laugh at myself sometimes because of my own glow-in-the-dark tendencies. All in all, this is just harmless fun on an internet wrestling forum. Nothing more.

Go stalk posters who drop Melina's name in a thread.

Go stalk posters who drop Undertaker's name in a thread. Fixed for you and the sundry lulz. I don't have to stalk anything. All I have to do is mention her pertinently in a thread and a swarm of people explode with rage that HOW DARE I speak positively in any way about one of my favorite wrestlers.

You see, the difference between us is that I don't try to turn a thread about something else into a thread about said person because their name was dropped or get heated over a different opinion of said person another poster may post about. Also, ending this right here because I'm not going to be sitting here arguing.

Let me point out my confusion at you complaining about this yet you are the one who brings Melina up in a thread about out of shape dudes. Whatever you're smoking, I don't want any.

Not great at all. What does that have to do with this thread? You answered your own question. So I can't comment about a wrestler's body just because my own isn't great? That's like saying I couldn't comment on a bad wrestling angle because my own storytelling ability isn't great. Well, I got some bad news for you [/barrett] not everyone can be a great storyteller and if only the best storytellers could comment on bad wrestling angles then the site that led to the creation of this site would have never gotten as popular as it did for this place to spring up. Edit: Also, just read through some of the other posts on here so this is the last I'll talk about this subject not directly related to the thread topic. Or else I fear the Mods will throw the lock down on this bad boy.

We talk about the bodies of the Divas a lot, why not the guys too? Pro wrestling is a massively looks-orientated business. It's just that there are roles for the portly gentleman in it on occasion as well, which the ladies almost never have.

Undertaker's belly has gotten a little bit bigger every year he comes back. Of course he is aging, but it has made some of his mystique come off recently. Also, I have rock hard abs (just wanted to make sure I could comment om this).
