That picture on Twitter makes me think Triple H found a time machine and met his 2004 self when he let himself go for a few months.
Glad to have Hero back though. He should really just come up to the WWE as he's not getting any younger.

He hasn't even been on tv yet and I'm already sick of the fat jokes.
That aside, this is a great signing. Hero is one of the best wrestlers in the world.

Seriously the fat jokes and body shaming are getting old. If his weight isn't preventing him from working then what is the issue, give him better fitting gear. He's built more like a Stan Hansen than a Seth Rollins but that works in his favor as his style is more smash mouth than aerial assassin

I could give a shit about his look, but someone needs to kill his silly "elbow strike, elbow strike, elbow strike" gimmick. It is a DRAG to watch.

Hansen had the intimidating build. Hero's built like Takeshi Morishima but without the fear aura of looking like an oversized teenage girl.

Glad WWE was finally able to overlook him not having the ideal WWE body type and realizing he is one of the best workers in the world.

I'd bet he starts getting in better shape. Maybe not old school Hero shape but I expect Triple H will have a had in getting him more fit looking.

He's already working house shows, fighting Andrade Almas tonight in Largo. (Presumably they'll give him some new gear soon)

Glad to see him back, but they just need give him some more flattering gear. Geez...
Note: I have no problem with his weight. The gear he is wearing is not a good look for him, however.

Imagine telling somebody in like 2003 that Chris Hero, Austin Aries, Samoa Joe and Shinsuke Nakamura were all in WWE developmental in 2017.

I know the fat jokes are already tired, but good god is that not going to work.

It sounds harsh, but there's no way he gets on television looking like that.

It sounds harsh, but there's no way he gets on television looking like that. They've actively REHIRED him looking like that. I think all bets are off at this point.

That still doesn't mean their not going tell him to lose weight. Pro wrestlers are supposed to have a look that abides to their character and makes them stand out from the average man. Hero looks like me if I let myself go. That's certainly not something to want to see. There's 'wrestling fat" like a Kevin Owens or a Samoa Joe. Hero just looks like he eats too much junk-food.

They just need to get Hero on that BullFit regimen.

We're very close to the point where Chris Hero matches will be classified as BBW videos.

He looks like Mac from his "cultivating mass" period. Still I have to imagine he'll shape up some in the Performance Center, and he'll still be a great talent either way.
