Triple H Halts the Push of Kassius Ohno, Takes Him off Television?

  1. "Do you even lift, bro?" - HHH

  2. Chris Hero finally has a true supervillain.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Yup, physique is how a wrestler gets over. Cody Rhodes is WAY more over than his dad ever was!

    ReplyDelete
  4. Here's the story with Chris Hero. He never used to be in great shape, hence why he wore baggy pants and a T-shirt for a lot of his early career. Then he started to gain weight, until he ended up weighing about 280. So after that he started making a serious effort to get in shape, and ended up with a great body and being able to wear trunks. But when he was trying to sign to developmental, he was held up due to, ahem, "naturally high levels of testosterone" and then when he did sign a few months later he had no physique to speak of and hasn't been able to get there. Translation: Ohno can't get in good shape without steroids, or at least won't. Its plain as day that when he started getting into good shape he was on the gas and got caught when he was entering NxT. So they either need to look the other way for wellness or he's probably fucked.

  5. Am I the only one thinking WWE is going to add the Bellas to the Cena/Bryan feud, where said feud will take a backseat in order to promote the show?


    Because honestly, I wouldn't put it past WWE to do that.

    ReplyDelete
  6. It's going to happen and there's nothing we can do about it

    ReplyDelete
  7. I did wonder who the guy was that ate Chris Hero when I watched Punk's dvd. You watch that and then, say, his match with KENTA...man, day/night. Shame it seems he needs the assistance, but i guess some guys do.

    ReplyDelete
  8. And there's your tradeoff, Vince was biased against smaller guys, HHH is biased towards bodybuilders.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I'm going to go the other way with the Bellas, Cena, and DB. If they're so hot at protecting Cena's spot as SuperCena, Women and Children Face Extraordinaire, I'm not sure they'll openly acknowledge he's attitude adjusting a Bella every night.

    ...Then again, if the women turn on him, we're one step closer to the Cena heel turn.

    ReplyDelete
  10. It hasn't stopped Mason Ryan, so maybe he needs to borrow whatever it is that he's using.

    If not, make him a fat hipster like that "BONJOUR!" guy in the commerical

    Apropos of nothing, how many of the legends and HOF'ers ever really had "great physiques"? Hogan was all bloat with no definition, Austin was always a little soft around the middle, Rock's actually more cut now than he ever was during his wrestling days, HBK at his "supplement" peak was never more than average, and so on. And don't even get me started on Races, Flairs and Dustys of the world.


    I don't know, it just seems to me that after all these years, SOMEONE in power should realize that a "great body" by itself means nothing, and that talent isn't defined by how much you bench. Obviously WWE wants their guys to be healthy and in good ring shape, but unless they're willing (as Ryan suggested) to look the other way in regards to Wellness, they are going to have to accept the fact that wrestlers come in all shapes and sizes.

    ReplyDelete
  12. It's probably a big reason why Bryan got the Summerslam spot. On Monday I expect both Bellas to go to Vince asking to be managers, and he assigns each of them a principal in the WWE TITLE match, only their client ISN'T the guy their banging.

    ReplyDelete
  13. For a show that NONE of their regular audience will care about.

    ReplyDelete
  14. In fairness, it sounds like he's not getting due pushed because he's got a poor physique, but because he isn't even trying to improve it.

    ReplyDelete
  15. If the dude isn't even trying to improve his physique, then what do you expect? Seems like he isn't hungry. What excuse would there be to slack in your workouts while you're in developmental?

    Fact is, the guy is a talented worker. He doesn't need to get jacked up like the Rock, but he should at least bust his ass to get toned.

    ReplyDelete
  16. They're producing entertainments, not wrestling. So everyone must be beautiful. Except Brodus Clay.


    Just put him in long pants. Big deal. It's not like they had chicken legged guys like Khali and Nash wearing trunks. If it's because he's on the fringe and they're not sold on him, whatever. If they ARE sold on him and this is holding them back, then it's plain goofy.

  18. But how would we know each Bella wasn't assigned to the proper bang-buddy?

    ReplyDelete
  19. All the guys you mentioned (except Dusty) at least had some bulk to them. Just GIS any of those guys and you'll see while they weren't cut like bodybuilders, you could tell they were still muscular. Hero looks like a fat cruserweight. When CM Punk looks built compared to you, there's a problem.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Can you explain how his charisma disappeared as well? HIYOOOOOOO!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  21. I don't think HHH wants a Mr. Universe contestant; you just hafta look *somewhat* in-shape to be taken seriously. Hero has a slight muffintop and *no* upper body definition.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I wonder if the Hero/Ohno allegation has anything to do with the new performance center. Are they using it yet? If so, I have read that the facility has dozens of cameras WITH a direct line to Stamford. The claim for the cameras is to see how they are performing in the ring, but the conspiracy theorist in me thinks this is some bizarre Big Brother experiment to catch people's actions or inaction.



    It's a shame, too. Hero carried NXT for most of the latter half of 2012.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Or he can just pick up a weight every once in a while.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Exactly. You can get in better shape than he is now without doing roids either.

    ReplyDelete
  25. right? DBry isn't a huge bodybuilder or anything but he's getting a push because he's at least in shape. Hero is an oddity. Could be great. Maybe not upper card great, but def. upper mid. (Notwithstanding a feud that catches fire. Who knows. Maybe Punk Hero redux will catch fire.)

    ReplyDelete
  26. I wish Triple H would say something to CM Punk, his physique is embarrassing for a main event wrestler getting ready to battle Brock Lesnar. 220 my ass, more like 180.


    I'm a firm believer that you have to look the part, I couldn't go to work with a Big Poppa Pump goatee or Daniel Bryan beard.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Why? If he's good at his job, who cares? I'm not watching the show because I want to make out with the wrestlers. Like I said, if he's not in their plans for real, it's not a big deal. If he is, they're pretty short sighted.


    If he's working matches and blowing up in them, THAT would be a fitness problem.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Assuming this is true, it sounds like a case of management telling you to do something and then not doing it more than "we want you to look like John Cena"

    ReplyDelete
  29. Totally agree. You don't have to be a super mass 260 pound bodybuilder? But at least look in shape. Bret and Shawn were beer the biggest wrestlers in the mid 90s, but always looked like two guys who were well conditioned.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Women don't turn on the guy because he's screwing someone, they turn on the chick they're screwing.

    ReplyDelete
  31. You're not watching the show because you want to make out with the wrestlers, but plenty of people are.


    Sex appeal sells tickets.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I thought they leveraged Cena's popularity with kids to sell tickets. If sex appeal is what is pushing Raw, there must be alot of middle aged gay guys out there.

    ReplyDelete
  33. If he gets rid of those sideburns I'll be happy with that. You're not Wolverine! Cut it out!

    ReplyDelete
  34. A theory I've heard is that he's cutting weight to make Brock look even bigger.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Well since he's been held off the last 2 tapings for this and the performance center just opened last week.

    ReplyDelete
  36. He's the same size he's been for the last couple of years. He's just been working with jacked up guys for the last year or so, and probably held together with tape. No one complained about Shawn Michaels when he was below the Mendoza line weight wise...

    ReplyDelete
  37. Yes, Cena's popularity with kids sells tickets. But it's not the only thing that sells tickets.



    You really only think middle-aged gay men are attracted to wrestlers? Uh...what? Women go crazy for Punk and Rhodes and Orton.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Bet you a dollar they turn Cena at Summerslam.

    ReplyDelete
  39. HBK still looked good. Punk doesn't.

    ReplyDelete
  40. No he didn't, he was so thin at the end it looked like his ribs would be showing if he dropped 5 pounds and he had a massive bald spot

    ReplyDelete
  41. Punk is carrying weight in his mid-section. HBK was just slim

    ReplyDelete
  42. I'm talking about their demos. Their average viewer is a middle aged man.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Oh that period. By then he was a legend. Legends don't need impressive physiques.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Why? Because in kayfabe, he's supposed to be a professional fighter. He should at least look like he trains for fights.

    Plus, he's in developmental! He should be busting his ass to get in the best shape of his life!

    ReplyDelete
  45. I just heard it on the wrestlingobserver podcast: Brie goes with Bryan; you can remember that since they both start with "B."

    ReplyDelete
  46. If his cardio was bad and he was blowing up, I'd agree. It's possible that could be the case. It's not even about Hero, who I'm not sure translates well. He's sort of in the Colt Cabana boat.


    It's more about not understand why they (and especially that beaver-looking fuck) are so obsessed with look, considering when they go solely on look, you get Mason Ryan (who managed to draw blood on the first shot he threw in the WWE), and Big Zeke, the master of the bodyslam.


    I'd rather have someone who can cut a promo and work a match but is a butterball than someone who looks like they could bench the entire gym, but can't do shit. Obviously I draw the line at Meltman, though, that guy was hideous.

    ReplyDelete
  47. This is a big deal to you as you mention it often. I'm not trying to be an asshole here... but are you a bodybuilder/into bodybuilding etc...? I can't imagine why else this is such an issue.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Its so weird, you hear him on Colt's podcast and he's a funny, affable guy. Then he gets in the ring or on a mic and he's mostly grim and humorless, even when he's playing an obvious comedy character like Chris Hero. Honestly I've always felt like Hero's overrated anyway. He's not terrible but he's never been my favorite.

    I remember when Stevie Richards worked hard to improve his physique. Vince complimented him on it backstage. And he got to job to Chris Masters a couple of times.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I only lift my boyfriends. But it's a pretty good workout.

    ReplyDelete
  53. To me it sounds less like the reprimand is directly for his physique, and more that he was told to improve it and has made no effort.
    It's usually not a good idea to flatly ignore the bosses advice, in most any line of work.
    For what it's worth, I'm in the physique does matter..a bit.. camp. It's definitely not the be all and end all.
    I'd never seen the guy so I just looked up a pic, and yeah, unless he's really bringing something exceptional to the table personality wise then he should probably hit the weights.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Hey, that's pretty clever! Wish I'd thought of that.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Ah, okay. I didn't realize he had been held off specifically for this at the tapings.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I mean, considering that the company is fine with Dean Ambrose (who I'd cast as the Scarecrow if they remade the Wizard of Oz) if Ohno got less...droopy it'd probably all be good.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I disagree on Shawn. During his peak in 97-98 he looked like a world-beater.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Yeah, Punk isn't exactly a fitness model, but he's at least top-heavy. He has some weight to his chest and arms.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Why appeal to the demos you already have?

    ReplyDelete
  60. I think his best work has always been in KoW.

    ReplyDelete
  61. davidbonzaisaldanamontgomeryJuly 21, 2013 at 7:54 PM

    It sounds like Hero/Ohno is getting into Chris Harris/Braden Walker territory in terms of not staying in prime condition. No bueno.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Punk has a huge tattoo on his chest. You can't really make out definition with a tattoo. Also, he probably doesn't use muscle enhancers of any kind because straight edge.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Your first paragraph is flawed logic. When actors get prepared for action movies or movies in which they're playing athletes or comic book characters, you better believe that they hit the gym so that they can look the part.

    ReplyDelete
  64. I do enjoy lifting weights although it is certainly not a requirement for my job. CM Punk gets a lot of unconditional love from the IWC and I see a guy who really doesn't give a shit and can't wait to get out of the business to play Ska in some shitty Chi-Town night club.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Honestly, fuck Chris Hero. The company that is willing to invest in you asks you to improve your physique and you're not doing it? Makes no sense to me.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Yeah, but Dean Ambrose has his character to help him out there, and they cover him up with his outfit. I don't think Onno has the same going for him.

    ReplyDelete
  67. What's the advice? How to get started again, or...

    ReplyDelete
  68. I think I speak for everyone here when I say that if you can't go to work looking like Big Poppa Pump, you need to find a new job!

    ReplyDelete
  69. I haven't seen him recently, but does Hero at least still have that insane conditioning? Before the Young Knockout Kid gimmick, in ROH, he used to have that 'show off' (sorry Dolph) gimmick where he would stall his matches by going through a crazy exercise routine: flipping over the turnbuckles, lapping the ring, crossing the mat with lunges. It was goofy, but it demonstrated that he was in awesome shape since he wasn't even breathing heavy by the end.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Whoa whoa whoa, slow down, lemme get my cheatsheet!

    ReplyDelete
  71. Hey! Dusty had some bulk!

    ReplyDelete
  72. As other people have pointed out, I think this is more a case of "here's what we'd like to you to do to move up" followed by "f that, I ain't doing it" followed by "then you ain't going anywhere".

    ReplyDelete
  73. You mean kayfabe still exists?

    ReplyDelete
  74. Yeah, he looked to have very low bodyfat. From 94-on, he pretty much always had defined abs and biceps. He was just small in stature.

    ReplyDelete
  75. It's really the chainmail headdress that most find unappealing.

    ReplyDelete
  76. So long as they're bears.

    ReplyDelete
  77. It's all based on assumptions either way. He could just be someone who is going to look like a schlub no matter what, unless he heads down to Tijuana to see a "doctor". No idea. Shit, it could be newz for all we know.

    I just think, if it's true, their mindset is kind of funny. They hire someone, know what they're getting, get what they know they're getting, and then are disappointed with it. Like that time they hired a face luchador when they only have one other one on the roster, and he's a face too. No one can work the style, he's a botch machine and somehow they're surprised.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Ambrose isn't the biggest, but he has some definition.

    ReplyDelete
  79. It's not really any different than a sports team drafting a guy who they think they can develop. They see potential, but there's still work that needs to be done before it's realized. Some guys make the transition, some don't.

    ReplyDelete
  80. I kind of felt like it was some Kevin Nash logic... that you have to be a larger than life muscle head (or whatever) to be believable as a top guy... isn't there some truth to that?

    ReplyDelete
  81. This is unbearable.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Arn Anderson looked like crap, though, in fairness.

    ReplyDelete
  83. This sounds a lot like what happened to Colt Cabana (but at least Colt made it to the main roster, I guess).

    ReplyDelete
  84. He probably does have great cardio, but honestly, he has child bearing hips and looks more like a fry cook than CM Punk anymore. It's funny because, I don't think 'Chris Hero' has ever, ever looked in shape at any point in his career. But I like the guy, good worker.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Disagree - he had the Anderson-style bulk. Larry Z always put him over as an endomorph. He didn't look good per se, but he looked like he could beat up people.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Not really. Look at old pictures of him and you see a well-built upper body and thick arms. Not cut or anything, but he was huge compared to Hero. And he looked tough.

    And even if Arn looked bad, he also never got above the TV title level. I love Arn, but he was part of a group, part of a tag team and a TV champ. Had he not been in the Horsemen, he'd never have sniffed the main event.

    ReplyDelete
  87. His personality is sorely lacking.

    ReplyDelete
  88. The outfit makes his arms look bigger.

    ReplyDelete
  89. You do know they exaggerate all the guys weights, right? It's a thing. Even in Japan. And Brazil.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Petey Williams learned that lesson better than anyone.

    ReplyDelete
  91. He's Garett Bischoff.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Walker/Harris got jacked up on roids at the end of his TNA run. Go look at his body his last few months there. That got him into WWE, but they drug test, so he had to cycle off, and it just made him fat. Truth.

    ReplyDelete
  93. CM Punk reminds of Shaq were if he cared he could of been the best ever. I feel like CM Punk only keeps wrestling to prove to the people that doubted him as a teenager that he can do it. Who the fuck shows up on Raw with those sideburns and that out of shape? I just think people want him to be Stone Cold 2.0 and the dude just falls short on so many levels. Don't get it twisted he has his moments of greatness but really so did someone like Nash or Triple H.

    ReplyDelete
  94. I cannot believe you guys aren't talking about Total Divas. I cannot wait for this train wreck of epic proportions, as it completely derails Daniel Bryan's big push.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Caliber and me kicked it around but I'm an unreliable slacker, and I dunno if Caliber counted on me to take the lead or what (see also: the reason why there is no Podcast of Doom. I dunno why you people keep me around, honestly.) But if its gonna happen it'd pretty much come from him.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Chris Hero is in an industry that, like movies and sports, is as much about marketing than anything else. Sports and their teams don't market soft, pudgy physiques. An offensive lineman has never been the face of a franchise. Action movies don't star out-of-shape muffintops. It's just hard to sell a guy as a great wrestler when he doesn't look like he could stop a bully from giving him a wedgie on the playground.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Scream09_HartKillerJuly 21, 2013 at 9:21 PM

    I used to be over-weight, started to diet, hit the cardio, went from 215lbs to 175lbs. Not toned but thin. Then I started lifting weights. I wasn't strong, but I was using creatine and protein supplements and looked pretty good at 190lbs. This was four years ago, when I was 26. I've only worked out off an on since, due to life things that get in the way. I'll go a few months, quit for a few months so I don't really make progress.


    I guess the question is what's the best way to get back to get toned and increase size? Can I do both at once? I don't think genetically being thin/toned is going to be easy for me. I go to the gym and I really don't know what to do. I start cardio but then I feel like I should be doing weights - I'll do light weight and max rep and then think I should be trying to light heavier. I'm all over the place. I'm in "last 10 pounds" category now - I need to drop a little weight, while increasing muscle at the same time. I'm also impatient and find it hard to stick to a regiment if I don't see results. I like to do at least 2 hour workouts to, if that matters.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Ohno has height, like Ambrose has, if he tightens up a bit (even without bulking up) he'll be okay.

    ReplyDelete
  99. I think HE wants to be Stone Cold 2.0, but he's pretty good at being CM Punk.

  102. You are on to something...

  103. What are you talking about? You mean the CM Punk who can run marathons? He's the new "sixty minute man" in the ring. You're not going to look like Lex Luger, if you can go the way he can in the ring. It's not like Punk has the frame to bulk up anyways.



    He is more successful at what he does, than you'll be in anything in your life and that includes me and everyone here.



    I love anonymous internet posters who say a guy as successful in his field as Punk doesn't care. Makes you sound like one giant pathetic loser.

    ReplyDelete
  104. The bulimia.

    ReplyDelete
  105. Vince certainly had a hard on for him.


    "Shoooooaaaawwwwnnnn Miiiiichaaaeeelllsss!?!?!"

    ReplyDelete
  106. Yeah...Punk can be accused of many things. But when you're in the top 3 of your field, "lack of passion" is not one of them.

    ReplyDelete
  107. He doesn't got no cuts, so he doesn't care. He's also in his mid 30's, wrestled a bajillion matches, has had a bunch of injuries and isn't going to have the benefit of "coping" that a bunch of other guys do, until they drop dead or end up on an internet reality show.


    That's really what I get out of this. "In shape" = look chiseled. He's in better wrestling shape than the Rock was.


    This is the thing that irks me with that particular argument. It's not about being "in shape", it's "jack yourself up". Then they go in the direction of guys that Dunn can jerk off too, and you get useless stiffs.

    ReplyDelete
  108. I have ti disagree with you. I think he has more passion than most anyone in the business, and I think he is in fantastic ring shape. Just because he is built like a normal person and dresses like a normal person doesn't make him any less of a superstar and doesn't put his passion in question.

    ReplyDelete
  109. Another "oh, wow" moment because I hadn't thought of it that way until you mentioned it. To quote Troy Aikman, "You're absolutely right, Joe."



    The Rock, the ripped adonis, was clearly gassed and Punk, the skinny fat ass, was not. That match could be Exhibit A for this argument.



    Ric Flair, even in his prime, had flab. The Funks, Harley, Edge (who freely admits he didn't work out for the last five years of his career)... their physiques weren't great either. Bottom line is that you don't have to be cut/ripped to be great and diversity is a good thing (but you definitely need the Zigglers, Cenas, and Cesaros of the world for aesthetic purposes).

    ReplyDelete
  110. Don't necessarily agree with this, but I think it's an interesting topic of discussion. There are many athletes out there who rely on natural ability and just flipping the switch to "on" when it's showtime rather than participate in intense practice and studying--in other words, actively trying to improve one's self even while at the top.

    ReplyDelete
  111. He's going to be all over that silly E show, though. He's been the focus of some leaked clips of the show. It's hard to ignore that.

    http://www.billpearl.com/programs/programs.asp?d=1

    That's month 1, which is super easy. However, check out, say, month 14 (this is where I'm currently at):

    Seriously though I need a bit more time to give you a thoughtful response (disclaimer: I'm not a nutritionist or a kinesiogist, just a passionate hobbyist =) ). I'll come back tomorrow and write you something further.

    ReplyDelete
  114. Yeah, and look, Chris Hero is WWE's property and they're going to mold him into the image they want. If he doesn't fit it, he'll have to go back to being Chris Hero. Punk is already established, he's over, he makes them money, and he's a really good performer. So why would you screw with that and tell him to jack himself up by 15%? Then he comes in all puffy and he's not as good anymore and he just gets hurt (see Triple H hate thread).


    That's why I invoked HBK. The last couple of years, his "look" (including theme song) was pretty much a parody of its former self. But, he delivered the goods, so who gives a shit? He had great matches, he could "tell stories", he made money for them, and the fans loved him.


    So if Kevin Dunn wasn't as aroused by him as he may have been in the past, does that make a difference?

    ReplyDelete
  115. It didn't matter what Arn looked like, he looked and acted like he was tough. He also wrestled as such, and the announcers put him over as such. This stuff ain't rocket science.

    I can't really agree with this. Look at The Rock, who came back too jacked up and sucked. Kevin Steen might look like some guy you meet at the bar, but at least he entertains me.

  119. Can you guys paws for a second? I'm trying to pay attention to the thread!

    Implants are nasty.

  121. Doesn't matter as long as he brings it the ring.


    Which he has.

  122. Brie has always been the hotter one.

  123. As others have said, I don't think HHH is looking for Hero to be the same size as Cena, but the guy looks like crap. Look isn't everything, but it is very important. Hero doesn't have to become a jacked-up monster, but he needs to cut down his bodyfat.

  124. he was just a common man!

    Aren't they identical?

    ReplyDelete
  126. Identical twins is a phrase, not a description. Twins=/=clones.


    But back to the more important job of objectification. Nikki has a wider jaw.

  127. OH NO GAIZ, TRIPLE H HAS BURID ANOTHER CAREER!!1

    He says he's The Game, and he cares about his business... well I say he's The Gay and he's A BATHTURD

  128. Kevin Steen looks like some guy who'd Kill you at the bar, weight aside the guy looks...a little off (In the good way)

    ReplyDelete
  129. He looks like a swimmer more than a wrestler. Hardly worse than some guys I've seen, and he's clearly an athlete.

    ReplyDelete
  130. I'm just reminded of how many guys came back from huge injuries juiced to the gills with giant muscles, bragging about how they were in "the best shape of my life", only to get injured by a muscle tear.

    Punk's physique would be a problem if he were a dominant guy, or booked like a power wrestler. He's a clear underdog, which means his look is fine.

    ReplyDelete
  131. Yeah, Rock's juiced-up physique really didn't do him any favours athletically there.

    ReplyDelete
  132. looks like Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase sans cool 80's hair and beard

    ReplyDelete
  133. I just googled Kassius Oho, he's got love handles and really undefined arms/upper body. He looks like a big gay Labrador...

    ReplyDelete
  134. With this Ohno new, this just solidifies the fact that a guy like Samoa Joe could never find success in the WWE due to his look.

    ReplyDelete
  135. It matters to some.

  136. Went through a lot of work stress over the last 5 years; in Dec 2011, discovered I was 30 pounds heavier than I thought due to lack of exercise, stress overeating, lack of sleep, and too much drinking.


    I started doing cardio at the gym on a treadmill (typically I hate running, but I really had no other choice). Also started lifting weights, but never really got the results that I wanted.



    Finally hit my stride when I adopted an overall balance; juicing/blending kale shakes in the morning, healthy lunch, whatever for dinner, and swapped out my usual daily beer for Miller 64. I stopped lifting weights, and started doing functional strength exercises (pull ups, dips, push ups, tons of core work, etc) and I have three treadmill routines that I vary - one where I just jog long distance, one where I jog 5 minutes and walk 5 minutes for an hour, and one where I jog 2 minutes, then sprint 30 seconds, and repeat).



    Dropped 20 pounds but added a lot of lean muscle; at 34, my physique overall looks better than it ever has.

    ReplyDelete
  137. There is some validity to that... like maybe it shouldn't matter to them, but it clearly does... and it isn't an unreasonable request to stop eating carbs after 2pm and do a few hundred crunches a day...

    ReplyDelete
  138. I'll second this. I'd enjoy having a thread to talk about this stuff in from time to time.

    ReplyDelete
  139. I've always had a keen eye for telling twins apart. Never once got the Harrises mixed up. The Usos I still get caught up on but that's mainly because I never cared enough to learn who was who.

    ReplyDelete
  140. Bray Wyatt is a fat guy. Brodus Clay got a temporary push. I would hope that a guy with Joe's skill-set could get away with his build. They've pushed every other samoan who came through with a fat ass, so why not Joe?

    ReplyDelete
  141. The fuck kind of name is Kassius Ohno anyway? Something was wrong with "Chris Hero"?

    ReplyDelete
  142. Chris Hero is fucking dumb too.

    ReplyDelete
  143. Hey the big fat heel has been a Vince staple for 30 years.

    ReplyDelete
  144. You must've been a math major.

    ReplyDelete
  145. Doesn't the fact that we all know what a Jon Jones or a Anderson Silva or a Chuck Liddell looks like kind of kill the idea that you NEED big muscles to be believable?

    ReplyDelete
  146. Well that's creatives motto for sure

    ReplyDelete
  147. Come on, man. Have you SEEN Hero/Ohno?

    ReplyDelete
  148. Only in the punk DVD. Is he really fat now or something?

    ReplyDelete
  149. Lies. Lies and slander!

    ReplyDelete
  150. Do a Google image search and tell me THAT'S an appropriate physique for a professional wrestler in *any* era. Especially one that wants to be known as a KO'ing badass.


    As others have mentioned, he has no upper body definition of any kind, and has a muffin top/child bearing hips thing going on.

    ReplyDelete
  151. Particularly if that's your job. Every sport in the U.S. requires workouts of the players. Why should WWE be any different?

    ReplyDelete
  152. THIS. I always thought Hero's biggest talent was wrestling with and against guys who were really, really good.

    ReplyDelete
  153. Punk purposely lost 20 pounds to make Lesnar look even more like a monster.

    ReplyDelete
  154. Chris Hero is one of the most marketable names for a wrestler I've ever heard, Kassius Ohno is fucking stupid

    ReplyDelete
  155. Where did you hear that?

    ReplyDelete
  156. I mean I can't blame Hunter, if true. In developmental they set them up well with a solid diet and workout routine that when done right (see: Jon Moxley), guys physique drastically improves. Whoever wants it the most will work hard to make it

    ReplyDelete
  157. It's common fucking business sense. We fuckers are addicts. We bitch and we moan and we buy the PPV.

    ReplyDelete
  158. Yeah, I don't think he cut 10% or more of his body weight.
