Do you think it's important to have a body like Cena's or Triple H's before getting into the WWE?

It certainly doesn't hurt in the recruitment process. Unless you aready have a bit of a reputation, you need to be 6'6" and jacked.

The body is important if you want to be a power wrestler. No one would take you seriously if you are 5'6 150lb soaking wet doing spears against larger wrestlers.

Mick Foley has said he never had a great body so he just used his body as a weapon to help him get over. It does help. But that look isnt for everyone.

I think it helps, though is doesn't MAKE you. That being said, even small guys should be 'in Shape".
Case in Point : Jericho. I love the guy, but since he's come back, I haven't been able to take him seriously in the ring. He's half the size that he was in WCW during his late 90's run (And, mind you, he was a larger cruiserweight at the time) and looks to have "Flattened out" a bit. Seeing him in there with guys with physiques MUCH superior to him is strange. Thankfully, he at least has good mic skills to back him up.
Vince loves his muscle-heads. Sadly, the last time he pushed a few "smaller guys" (Micheals, Hart, ect.) was simply because of the mid-90's steroid scandal. This latest scandal, however, hasn't really semmed to effect him, lol

It's all that matters. You will get it in development if you do not have it already. Chances are that you won't make it to development if you don't have it though.

I think when someone says "the look", they're not always talking about a muscular physique. there are plenty of huge muscleheads that have not gone into the WWE because they had a generic look. You can be really big, but if you have the same old cheap hair cut, and the "grandma thinks you look cute" face, and same personality as everyone else, then you're going to have a harder time getting into WWE than a guy who just has charisma.
However, If you have a small guy with charisma and a big guy with charisma, I think Vince will choose the bigger guy, as he picks the bigger guys when he has a legit choice. It depends on the current TV roster though, If you have a ton of big guys with all personality types, why hire someone who's the same? I think he start looking at smaller guys.

who's the boss of the WWE? Vince
does Vince like big guys?
Tell ya what go to Youtube and type WBF in the search and listen to the excitement in Vince's voice on the commentary. That much excitement at the site of guys in thongs simply walking around and flexing. There is more excitement in those commentaries than any of the actual wrestling matches Vince has called.

Do you think it's important to have a body like Cena's or Triple H's before getting into the WWE? It does show that you care about your health, your appearrance, and it does show your dedication in the gym to look the part of a wrestler. Is it the most important thing? Of course not, is it better not only for your health, but for your stamina hell yes. That's why I don't see a guy like Samoa Joe lasting very long in pro wrestling. |

It's not just who Vince pushes though. Crowds and 'marks' and casual fans like a guy who looks like a real threat. Always have done from Hogan and Warrior through to guys today like Cena and Batista.
Granted Vince does like these guys, but he likes them because crowds seem to react to them. Crowds aren't going to buy a small guy as a threat unless they can really back it up and get themselves over on the mic.
