I hope the same people making fat jokes about Ohno/Hero remember not to spaz out when someone on WWE programming makes a comment about his weight. Never forget how folks called Kevin Owens a fat ass on the regular and the moment someone on Raw made a similar statement, the torches and pitchforks came out looking for blood for that. Now, I agree that Kassius needs better fitting gear instead of the smedium tights he rocks. People want different bodies represented but turn into Vince McMahon if it is not aesthetically pleasing.

Those tights say "Hero," so of course he'll have different gear by the time he hits TV.

They've actively REHIRED him looking like that. I think all bets are off at this point. Yes, they did. 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. That makes zero sense. They would have not wasted the money on all the testing and everything they do to hire him and then not use him because he is "Fat". Like everyone else they've hired, if they didn't want him with that look, they would not have hired him. They knew what he looked like and spent thousands on him anyway (plus whatever his pay would be) if his look was some massive problem. That is something they do before they even consider hiring someone. Unless it is gimmick specific, looks have never mattered as much as people want to argue when it comes to Hero and originally Steen. If he comes in and is booked to matter, he'll matter to people. It is that simple.

Can anyone recommend a few Chris Hero matches to check out? I'm not very familiar with his work. Here's a match from just three weeks ago against ACH that I happen to have handy From what I've heard, Hero will have his latch match on "the indies" for Evolve in San Antonio the same day as NXT Takeover. I'll probably be at that show. I would expect Ohno will be wrestling later that night at Takeover.

He can clearly go, and those strikes are sick.... But I don't want to watch it. I do like his basketball themed gear though. I hope it's adjusted to be a little more flattering.

Colour balance your damn cameras.

I know the fat jokes are already tired, but good god is that not going to work. He wears that to troll the internet. Those are clearly the wrong sized trunks for him and he knows that.

Before teaming with Claudio/Cesaro, Hero worse long, baggy pants and a "CH" Superman-esque logo cut-off T-Shirt as ring gear. I would assume he had the CM Punk "skinny fat guy" body then.
Kings of Wrestling forms and he get gets into awesome shape, switching to trunks only along the way.
Claudio gets signed first and Hero gets... a little larger.
Is the Swiss Superman the catalyst for Hero's "peak body"?

I mean, it's not like the guy's obese or anything. I'm sure he'll look fine with whatever new gear they get for him.

Fat jokrs or not it is an fact he would look much better if he trimmed the fat.
And yes , looks do play a big part in wrestling.
John Cena and Daniel bryan wouldnt be as.popular if they were in the same shape as Kassius
It is not a Dusty Rhodes situation where it plays part of his persona and highlights his strenghts
Or a umaga situation where he looks big and emposing
He looks like a great wrestler that is a slob

One of my favourite wrestlers ever was a chubby dude in sweatpants. Two of my least favourites (HHH, Orton) look like they were molded by the gods.
f*** off with this look matters shit.
