But He's FAT!!!

Kevin is fat and he is the Intercontinental Champion. I see what you are saying he may be fat but he is awesome in the ring very talented and part of the future of this company. Vince likes to go with a certain look, so and so has the look to be the face of this company like John Cena now and Roman Reigns(future). Kevin does not have that look and will not be the face of the WWE but his talent will carry him far, he will be the World Champion some day.
 
What amazes me is people couldn’t feel the sarcasm. As for the thread, Owens does look thick goof but, that doesn’t take away anything from his being awesome. He can wrestle better than much of the roster. He sells well. He can make the audience care and that is all that matters.
 
If I was a wrestler, I think I would try and politic out of getting the IC title and just be invested in a good programme. Seriously, who was the last wrestler who held the IC title first and then went on to win the heavyweight title?

You said it better than I did. It seems evident that Vince McMahon decided to take this guy on and elevate him in spite of the way he looks. Like it or not, it's an impressive feat.

I remember the first couple times I watched KO on NXT. I was pretty much repulsed by his appearances, but still thought the guy must have something on the ball if WWE management had given him a job .....either that, or he was there to serve as a patsy to other rising stars.....which was a theory quickly enough disabused when watching him work.

But even while I think he's a terrific performer, don't think I'm sending accolades his way for allowing himself to get so damn fat. In a profession that today demands people look good while working, KO's prodigious gut is a hail back to the potbellied, slow-footed behemoths of the 1950's who substituted training at the gym with drinking at the bar. That was fine for then.....today is something entirely different.

So, despite the package we see on our TV screens, I salute Kevin Owens for what he's accomplished.....and what he must have overcome personnel-wise to accomplish it.

I do look forward to seeing him over & over in the ring......hoping only he doesn't decide to show up without a sweatshirt. :disappointed:
