Agreed. He has no "presence to him". He looks like the guy drinking beer at the BBQ
Unfortunately most of these guys today in the WWE look like your next-door neighbor. No "larger than life' quality about them at all.
Its why he still got the "larger than life" guys main eventing though. (Lesnar/Batista etc). They look like STARS. Most guys who did draw LOOKED like stars. Warrior/Hogan/Rock/Andre/Goldberg/Lesnar etc.
No one is gonna tune it to see a guy who looks like your nextdoor neighbor. Bottom line

I mean if we can be honest...sort of been that way since the New Generation. Especially in the time when the only thing separating most people was the tights they were wearing. Like, you can talk about Rock and Austin all we wanted but WWE really wanted to push freaking Test at one point. A tall dude who could only really do a big boot well.

Especially in the time when the only thing separating most people was the tights they were wearing. Very true. I mean I get people wanting all these guys to be larger than life or whatever but me personally I actually like relating to my favs. Looks aside, I like Seth because I listen to the same type of music as him play the same types of games, same with most of the people I like. I love having those connections

Owens is a Dan Conner-like face. He looks like a regular dude and that's why he's loved. You don't have to look like the John Cena to be a main eventer. *Looks at Cena's haircut* And even John Cena doesn't look like Cena anymore and he is still a main event player

Yeah I’ve never cared for the guy. When someone looks like I could probably take him. How am I supposed to believe he could beat real superstars.

Bottom line I think I see Conrad Thompson like 5 times a day. I’m in Canada. He lives in Alabama.

I say this all the time, but while I know that he’s good, I also don’t really want to see him do much of anything. There’s a whole rack of other people that I’d rather see in his spot.

A tiny bit off topic but I think it's a different era now, not only in wrestling but in pop culture in general. The majority of people like their celebrities relatable. There's a reason people follow their favs on social media, celebrities doing normal stuff, looking like normal people is a major thing now. More than ever before. That's translated into wrestling too.

Bryan was correct. Why is he the heel again?

Kevin Owens is one of the most underrated guys on the f***ing planet.

The weird "Kevin Owens is a little fat, ergo untalented" thing running through this thread is....troubling. But nah, dude's a legit main event player. Bray Wyatt is fat, Mick Foley is fat, a large portion of successful WWE stars were fat. But they also had gimmicks that made it work. KO just looks like a generic fat guy.

Other than a couple moments where he showed how good he can be, he was soooo boring from the time he won the Universal Championship to Lashley putting him on the shelf. So I don't blame anyone for still having that bad taste in their mouths. I just hope this face turn is an actual thing and not just him f***ing with everyone, because he seems really natural in this role.

Oh definitely if this is what I think it is which is a face version of his Prizefighter gimmick I think he's golden, plus he has dropped a good amount of weight besides

Much more of a main eventer than Kofi.
