He can't gain muscle mass, just lose weight. It's one of the biggest problems he had before leaving NXT last time

Vince should call up his old friend Dr. Zahorian to help Chris with that little problem

I'm sure it's been asked before but why do people get so up in arms about Hero's weight and not Owens or Samoa Joe's?

Joe is Samoan and making fun of their weight is basically a hate crime. Owens looks like the fat tough guy in every bar in every 80s movie and so is very Wrestling.

Chris Hero just looks like a fat piece of poo poo.

Who also owns at wrestling.

I mean that and "He's FAT!" get brought up sometimes, but I feel like I never see a conversation about Chris Hero that doesn't end up being about how fat he is.

Also Joe and Owens both wrestle in fat guy shorts, Hero still squeezes into trunks which only serve to accentuate his gut.

Still owns.

Kevin Owens and Roman Reigns both wrestle in shirts because they're ashamed of their bodies. CM Punk is rolling over in his grave.

On the other hand, Chris Hero embraces his body and his body thoroughly embraces his tiny trunks.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
I think it's just because of how he gains weight, not that he can control his genetics. Guys like Samoa Joe, Kevin Owens, or Bray Wyatt seem to "fill out" more and gain the weight proportionally in their faces, arms, and legs, Hero just gains 90% of it in his gut and the trunks accentuate it.

Hero owns though, like a super speedy wrecking ball

consistently amazed still by how fast Owens moves. the workrate and cardio for a man that large you'd think would be bad but it's better than most guys he faces. some guys just know how to move with it, so does Hero, more power literally to you

Kevin Owens & Samoa Joe look offensive linemen strong, who'd kick your rear end.

Chris Hero looks like the dungeons & dragons kind of guy sitting behind a computer eating doritos all day.

Maybe that's part of his appeal.

Are you kidding? Owens looks way more like a goon than hero in every way. He even has a loving neck beard. Hero is legit like 6'3 and now he has extra weight to elbow you with.

Owens and Joe have broad shoulders and are generally more endomorphic. Hero's taller but his profile is slimmer which makes his heaviness more noticeable.

"See I'm not sure if you know this, but there are two kinds of fat people: there's fat people that were born to be fat, and there's fat people that were once thin but became fat... so when you look at 'em you can sorta see that thin person inside."

Hero is in the weird middle place between too fat and not fat enough. Like if he wants to go all the way with it and get a big watermelon gut like Kevin Owens and have his thing be "really fat guy that's still good," that's cool. Or he can be in shape. But just "kinda flabby" is never a good look. Commit one way or the other!
