Good for Hero he's one of the best and always a highlight on pwg shows.

By the way, wasn't he supposed to have all that KO merchandise, which got transferred to Kevin Owens, since his WWE name was Kassius Ohno?

Yeah he'd do great as a trainer I think.

Please, no. Chris Hero sucks. Not trying to be a dick or anything, but are you serious? This HAS to be a joke. Like even if you don't like the guy, there is no denying that he is a world-class talent.

LET ME COLLECT THIS W!
For three (3) years on this very board I said at some point Chris Hero would be back in WWE. I never wavered, no matter how much this board soured on him/being worked by his weight or w/e, I absolutely knew at some juncture he'd be back.
I'm really not one to gloat and I'm not trying to rub this in anyone/everyone' face, but between this and Aries' dramatic improvement on commentary in one week, I'm really not used to have two predictions where I was by far in the slim-almost-microscopic minority opinion come true in a single week. Wow.
Time to buy a lottery ticket and pick a pony.

Wasn't he the primary trainer of Cesaro? Obviously, Claudio is an exceptionally talented man, but that still tells me that he might be a good guy to hire on as a trainer, especially since he's obviously someone who has worked extensively with Sara Del Ray. Imagine if Hero comes on as a trainer, Sweet and Sour, Inc. will have a huge hand in training future superstars.

Not true, just a convenient coincidence for people to speculate and jump to that conclusion. Owens accidentally designed all that merch himself when his first day officially at the Center coincided with the day they were filming new NXT titantron/b-reel footage, so in a pinch he turned two black shirts inside out, did the "FIGHT ME" grease paint on one and did the duct-tape KO on the other.

I wonder if he's returning as Chris Hero or Kassius Ohno. He was one of the first guys hired during HHH indie hiring spree. NXT and the general hiring landscape has changed quite drastically from 2011 to now in the present with everyone keeping there in ring names.

I don't expect the Kassius Ohno name to be resurrected.

I accept it because "Mega TJP" is lame as shit, but I don't want to see him burying the entire division on 205 Live week after week after week.

I don't expect the Kassius Ohno name to be resurrected. He'll come out parodying/mocking Nakamura, and call himself Kassius YeaOh.

WHY CHRIS WAS LET GO OF WWE LAST TIME...
For the record, it was NOT because of his weight, I just want to nip that in the bud from the gate. If you watch his September-December 2013 NXT work, he's legit in the single best shape he'd ever, ever been in.
What had happened was the people who were really big on bringing Hero in backstage had either been promoted out of NXT or left WWE entirely, and he was in limbo without anyone really to go to bat for him, so those last few months outside the back-and-forth with Maddox (which was such an afterthought is qualifies as subconscious) he was just an aimless warm body.
While yes, some trainers have referred to his difficulty fitting in, that stems from when he first started in NXT and his difficulties with the WWE's style and schedule of gym training. Having done itna certain way for 14 years by that point, it was a challenging adjustment, frustrated him and he started off hard to work with. However, had it been a really issue, realistically speaking, he would have been cut a lot earlier and soon was fully in the NXT mix to the point where they gave him a pretty significant hype package on their year-end Best of 2012 show and, in 2013 when NXT was a Hulu-plus exclusive, made him the centerpiece of that promotional campaign (Hero vs Regal was the one free match/episode you could see for a whole year). He clearly fit in and they worked well togethet.
While there are the photos of him in the super unflattering singlet from that summer at an NXT house show, that was right after his first back injury and, as mentioned earlier, he worked all it off by the time he returned to NX TV for the last four months that fall.
We all caught up? Good. Cool. Glad to see this next step for JCW's Piss Taco.

It's what heel antagonists do.

How much of his work have you seen? Like, which promotions have you seen him in? Seen a bit of his PWG stuff. Like 2016 PWG stuff? Or his 2011 PWG stuff? He's switched up his style quite a bit there. Still, he's the elbow guyin PWG like how Strong was the backbreaker guy in ROH. Hero's moveset varies quite a bit depending on the promotion.

This could work if they don't have him come back as Kassius Ohno. There's no way he's getting over with that gimmick.
