Big Show is fat. He's about to get another push. So Owens should be OK.

The internet cares more about Kevin Owens' weight than he or his doctor do.

I like his look, it's different. He's got good heat, and this feud with Ambrose is only going to help.

There is not a single credible source in that entire article. When has that EVER stopped this forum?

I was going to ask if Jim Cornette is writing for dirtsheets, but it didn't mention him being morbidly obese.

It's okay for people to want Kevin to lose a little weight without wanting him to be a ripped underwear model.
I don't know about you but I have done so myself and I'm still not signed to any Hanes deals. Well okay I'm signed to a few but I don't want to make you feel bad.

The thread title's structure makes it look like a quote from Kevin Owen himself, which is amusing to imagine. That would actually be an incorrect use of the colon, as you need a complete sentence before it.

Notice how the overweight wrestlers are usually heels, Show, Owens, Wyatt, Bo....I wonder if they'll ask Owens to lose weight when he turns face in a year or two.

Although I do wish that more "ripped underwear model" types had Owens' level of wrestling talent. Well most experienced wrestlers with a high level of talent have that talent by travelling around wrestling all over against people with different styles over a long period. It's not really conducive to having a pretty chest and abs. Think about the more talented indy wrestlers that have gone on to WWE. Really the best body that has come of it is Daniel Bryan simply because he's got a slimmer frame in general and can probably get away with a less than perfect diet. Also note that even Bryan stopped being vegan due to the WWE schedule and I wouldn't be surprised if he put on some pounds if he was active today and wrestled a few more years. Counter argument of course is "Well why can't you come in with your experience and then just look like Randy Orton? After all you've got the experience already so you can now just do what he does!" Which is technically true. But when you come into the company in your 30s it's going to be harder to make that adjustment than a guy like Randy who came in in his early 20s and has decided his life is going to be "Be as fit as possible and wrestle on television"

The issue I take with it is simple: its your job to athletically perform night in night out and look good doing it, go to the gym like the rest of your peers.
Lazy.

He's hardly Yokozuna levels. And that's the issue, Owens isn't fat enough. When Vince hires fat guys they better be pushing four bills. Soon they'll be shoving triple cheeseburgers down his throat.

Lazy Kevin owens who works the crowd and gets great reactions every time he comes out. That guy should try harder. But those guys that get conway pops but are built better, they've got it down pat. Wait are you posting as Vince? =P

Kevin Owens being fat is a part of his look. I don't ever want to see Kevin Owens being slim. His look is that he is practically Roy Nelson of the WWE. Probably depends on what we mean by "in shape", since that can have a few different meanings. If Owens can work his matches without getting gassed easily, then he's probably in pretty good shape, all in all, even if he's a big guy. I'm not saying this with any scientific evidence backing me up, but it's just an observation: might the modern day trend of intense exercise regiments be contributing to the number of guys getting injured for extended periods of time? It makes the guys more athletic, sure, but it's been observed in other sports, as well, that while being bigger or more ripped has become more of a necessity to thrive in your sport of choice, it also opens you up to a multitude of easy to trigger injuries that can occur in the course of performing in your sport. Dave Meltzer made an interesting point about how the recent use of Olympic style lifting by wrestlers (Cena, Cesaro, Sami Zayn just to name a few), which focuses more on functional strength than muscles that are more for show like the body-builder types of the 80's and 90's used to to do, results in significantly more strain being put on their bodies (particularly, their shoulders). Add on that guys are taking bumps most nights out of the week and putting their bodies through even more strain, it seems like it was only a matter of time before guys started getting hurt and showing the negative effects of this kind of training. f*** it everyone is doing DDP Yoga instead and only doing DDP Yoga. But seriously there is no winning heavyweight training formula in the WWE it seems. You train like a bodybuilder you are to big your muscles aren't stretched enough which can easily tear and the bumps are harder and the extra weight is hard on your joints. You train functionally and you add more stress on your muscles and joints when training. Honestly you just have to listen to your body and there will be really no perfect training. Than again Seth Rollins was the workhorse of the WWE never getting hurt and got hurt by a freak landing doing a sunset flip so who knows really. Some people are more naturally injury proned than others. You can have two sports athletes have the exact same training specimen and the more injury prone guy will still get hurt more even if he has better form

This whole thing makes me wonder what these guys eat on the road. I mean they travel through the night, get what they can at truck stops and just workout, wrestle, do what they gotta do. I'm not like that. Me personally, I've lost 35lbs this past year. I'm where I need to be and I hid my weight well, it wasn't too bad but that added weight just annoyed me a bit. I didn't work out. I just cut my calories down, stopped the crappy sodas, drunk more water, ate more Subway sandwiches and honestly just did what I had to do and it worked. It took a year because sometimes I pigged out, every once in a while I went to far but either way I'm skinny now. I've mostly been skinny my whole life although from age 21-27 all the fast food eating caught up and I realized I couldn't do what I could do at age 17.
Anyway, I'm just wondering what Owens is eating, how his workout routine is, exactly how he's handling this stuff. I know there's only so much these guys can do but there's gotta be something. Owens is gaining weight and yet somebody like Ambrose has lost a some weight, he's toned up a bit this past year. Rollins has gained more muscle over this past year and Reigns, his arms have gotten smaller. I'm not even sure about somebody like Wyatt. Owens looked great when he debuted in NXT but he was noticeably larger during the end of the Cena feud.
Basically, dudes are changing their body types so it's possible for him to lose weight. I get a feeling he will, we just have to see that's all.
