Wikipedia says 6'3" and 260lbs. He was mistakenly listed as 5'9" for the 2012 Olympics.

I wish everyone would stop getting on Hero about being fat. In my opinion he is an inspiration. I now know that even me and my sad goon flab could be a good wrestler if I tried.

He looks way less fat in that picture than all the other alarmist obese Hero pics regardless. In fact for most of his career that'd be considered downright svelte

I think it's because he's in-action and not just standing around being a chubby dude. The skinniness of his arms in contrast to the rest of his body is still really weird, though. Fat (not that I'd consider Hero fat) guys with skinny arms always look so strange.

I legit love Fat Hero. He reminds me a lot of the kind of wrestlers you would see banging around smaller promotions back in the 80's; dudes who weren't in what would be considered "good" shape, but could still do what they needed to in the ring. I almost kinda wish he would lean into it more, because "tubby dude who elbows people's faces off" is a wrassleman I can get behind.

Edge's degree is in radio broadcasting. Jericho's diploma (he went to community college for a course called Creative Communications, which is a course that combines English and Journalism courses and fast-tracks you) is closer to actual journalism.

If we're gonna nitpick, nobody trains to be a journalist, they study. Communicology is often tied to broadcasting, journalism, and politology studies.

This month, I'm watching the WWE Network for free. Binge watching, that is. Remembering stuff like SummerSlam 1997. I don't miss the old blue steel cage.

According to the wrestlers, neither do they. Hurt like a bastard. A huge bastard. A god damned coffin riding bastard.

I seem to remember Owen Hart once hanging upside down from the blue cage with his feet in the holes, kind of like a tree of woe. Cant do that in the new cage unless you have really small feet.

Orange Carlisle

The old blue cage actually looked like it hurt when someone was bounced off of it though (probably because it did) and it felt like a big deal when they used it because there wasn't a cage match like every other week so there's that. I understand why it went away and don't want performers getting murdered on it but the chain link fence doesn't have nearly the same visual effect as the old school one and the chain link cage doesn't really feel like a special event type match anymore.

This isn’t really anything I think I like.
Being able to win cage matches in any other way other than climbing out of the cage ruined them.

The "climbing out to win" stipulation ruined them. They're great when it's just a bloody brawl in a cage no one can run from and then someone gets their face scraped against the cage etc. etc.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

At least climbing out was something you could use for believable drama and was a good tool to have for a cowardly heel trying to escape. Its always fun to watch a heel finally get his comeuppance in a cage where he tries to get away but can't.

No face should climb that cage ever, though. And the door just completely defeats the purpose of ever climbing or going for a pin. The door killed the cage match.

I thought Elimination Chamber was the new Hell in a Cell, and Hell in a Cell in the new cage match. Meaning a cage match is a new regular match and a regular match is nothing,
