Ohno Question

[souper]

I don't understand why the WWE is punishing him for his physique. He lost a ton of weight and has extra skin on his belly and I get that it looks weird in HD, but why can't they put him in a singlet or tights?

Bret Hart, Sting, Christian, Edge, Mankind, etc. all did fine without having to wear trunks. I just don't understand why the E won't work with what they have instead of trying to transform everyone into the perfect wrestling specimen.

If the bossman tells you to do something about your look, you do it - you don't ignore it (if reports are true...) and go about your own way thinking everything will be fine.

Nevermind what worked for others before you - you are you, and they are they. If he was asked to tone up, lose weight and get a more chiselled physique and was retold to do so and chose to ignore it or leave it on the backburner, he deserves to get punished, end of story.

Your boss pays you to work. He has expectations of you, and as long as they are realistic and ethical, who is he to say anything or question them?

Basically,

Ohno did a no no that made him go "oh no".

[Allie Kitsune]

Vince demands his champions look good without a shirt on.

Sometimes, on rare occasions, a guy like Foley breaks through.

But he's the exception to the rule.

It's more that he was being lazy and skipping workouts than anything as far as I can tell.

That I can understand. I just think it would be silly to waste a talent like Ohno because if a little belly fat.

They don't expect EVERYONE to be perfect, but they should at least be "presentable". Punk doesn't have a perfect body, but you can still tell that he takes care of himself. Miz is a little chubby, but you can tell that he has a good deal of muscle under that baby fat. The only exceptions should be the "fat" wrestlers like Brodus, Tensai, etc.

I always thought he had a JBL-type build.
JBL was a champion. Why not Zoidberg Ohno?

I'd love to hear JBL cutting promos on Ohno in NXT about his physique.

Well JBL is build as a brawler/power house type guy so I figure Vince gives him more leeway with his physique. Plus Bradshaw looks sharp in a suit.

JBL is also a huge guy.

Ohno is 6'4" and despite his flab, looks like a closed beach umbrella.

[hellis3000]

6'4 is pretty goddamn tall thou.

Hmmm...maybe that's what Ohno is missing. Some sharp suits.
That and an amazing business acumen that will make him millions of dollars.
