Does anyone else not have a problem with Evil Uno's size?

[autisticgeordie]

I know that the Dark Order have been criticised for a lot of things, very rarely it being about their actual in-ring ability, but they do have seemed to turn a lot of people around (myself included) with their vignettes about manipulating the most down-trodden members of society and disguised as a cheesy and goofy commercial was brilliant.

But I do see a lot of people in general having an issue with Uno's body-type, but I don't really see the issue with it, it makes him stand out if anything and it's not effecting his in-ring work. People always say that they want different body types in pro wrestling and then, when we get someone like Evil Uno, people mock him for being "fat". It's like the wrestlers can't win with how they look.

Also, when did wrestling become a bodybuilding contest? It's not about how many abs you have, it's about how well you do in the ring and how you connect with the audience. If Uno was slow or out of shape, then I could understand the criticism, but his size doesn't seem to be a hinderence at all.

Look at how ripped and jacked the rest of the tag teams are, almost all of them barring Andy Williams/The Butcher from The Butcher and The Blade, are all insanely toned and defined and someone like Uno stands out instantly just because he looks more like an average joe, but he can do things that someone of his body-type probably shouldn't be able to do.

I don't think anybody had an issue with his body type, but his old wrestling gear did not look good.

If that's the case, that's fair, maybe a singlet would work better for him?

I haven’t heard any of that.

Dude can go when he’s been in the ring. And he’s a superior character. And he’s got a great look for his character so..iono.

Fat dudes who can work are awesome.

He works better as the cult leader that way. What’s more likely to garner recruits: a regular looking guy like Uno or a dude that’s super ripped. Uno is too busy tricking people into joining to go to the gymnasium,

Yeah, that's the big issue I saw about him in the first few weeks - his gear just didn't look good/professional/complete.

Evil Uno as he was at the end of Dynamite with the suit looked like a cartel boss from the Lucha Underground world. It was pretty great.

His tummy didn't bother me, but something about the old gear didn't feel quite there yet. He improved it tremendously, though, and is now one of my favorite heels in the company, easy.

There really needs to be a luchador named Malvado Empresario

Stu's leather jacket was badass too. They really looked like what they are: the big boss and his trusted right hand enforcer.

Uno's ring gear has looked a lot better in recent weeks. The suit made him look like a Batman villain, which was great.

It's funny because if you've followed his career, Uno has ALWAYS had an issue with weight fluctuation in his career. Look at some of his stuff from 05 and it doesn't even look like the same person, he got more of the body type he'd chunk up around 08-10, lose the weight again, and then husk up again to what he is now. And honestly it works very well for the team dynamic too.

[King Devitt: Scrum Guzzler]

I never had a problem with the way he looked, like others it was his presentation that bugged me.

But like most everything else with The Dark Order he righted that ship pretty damn quick.

Props to him for recognizing it and fixing it in a way that makes him look like a bigger star.

he looks cool in a suit

Then shirtless boobies flopping look played into the greased pig gimp aesthetic they wanted

He's almost spot on a character I have made in wrestling games going back to WWF Attitude, "Fear Hunter", down to the mask and size. So I'm good with it.
