goc Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 so Vince Russo has been trolling this week going on about Kevin Owen's weight and how he doesn't look like a star, too much "like a "wrassler" etc. It hit me that Bray Wyatt seems to be getting a pass for being overweight from people within the industry but Owens is shamed for it. I guess maybe Bray can hide his size through his character and look better but no one singles him out like they do Owens I do think it's character related. Owens presents himself as a prize fighter who only cares about money and winning. Well when you got a guy who actually does fight real fights for money and he's fat, people give him a bunch of shit about that and talk about how much better he could be if he stopped being fat. See: Roy Nelson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 actually, fun fact: hercules had more PPV paydays than hogan or savage in the 80s. the champion wasn't on *every* PPV back then, and they often didn't defend the title when they were. lots of tag matches on the non-mania shows!I went from The Wrestling Classic until No Holds Barred and got these number of shows they had matches on: Hogan: 11 Savage: 11 Hercules: 10 That is out of 11 ppvs. Hogan and Savage wrestled on every single ppv in the 1980s. Hercules missed on The Wrestling Classic, so that is why he is one down. Pretty irrelevant data given the difference in ppv schedules then versus now. Really relevant when someone claims Hercules was on more ppvs than Savage/Hogan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkdoc Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 oh i think it was that herc had more than savage in the period up to hogan's "retirement", but then with 92 both of them should still beat him. sorry~ speaking of which, i think 92 was the funniest year regarding this topic. IIRC the guys who wrestled on every pay-per-view were a few you'd expect (savage, undertaker, shawn), one guy who's lower on the totem pole but still not too surprising (martel), and...virgil. tons of guys missed one show, bret & flair most famously.

See: Roy Nelson. It is more that Owens dresses in a shirt and gym shorts whereas Bray Wyatt wears more character specific clothing. It is easy to stand out as a fat fuck when you dress the way Owens does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted December 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 so Nattie looks like this now: https://www.instagram.com/p/_azA7WS1HC/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S.

Virgil was pretty well-liked and effective as a babyface. I don't want to overuse words like "hot" and "popular" because that would be exaggerating his status at the time, but he was far from some sad little jabroni sitting at a table all alone. He was "over" in his role. so Nattie looks like this now: https://www.instagram.com/p/_azA7WS1HC/ How is that any different from the way she usually looks?

Coffey Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 She looks like she has lost weight. A lot of weight, I would even say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 It might be the angle of the photo, but it's a bit disconcerting when someone who was normally built like someone who looks like they got half their DNA from Anvil suddenly looks like they could be Renee's twin.

Jimmy Redman Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 The angle does help, but she definitely looks like she's lost weight. I suppose if she's at home with Tyson she'd have a lot more free time to devote to the gym. She looks gangsta. Here's another one for a better look: https://www.instagram.com/p/_R2Pd8S1FB/?taken-by=natbynature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakeplastictrees Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 So I clicked on the first post and saw her instagram. I clicked on the second post (just a few seconds later) and apparently Natalie made her IG privat in just those few seconds...amazing.

SteveJRogers Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 I just noticed that old Vince looks like Don Knotts Coke and roids not doing him any favors in his 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 I just noticed that old Vince looks like Don Knotts Coke and roids not doing him any favors in his 70s. Ridiculous. I'm pretty sure he looks better and is healthier than the vast majority of 70 year old men in America. The guy was on the cover of Muscle and Fitness just this past March.

The Chief Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Is this Vince McMahon coke habit thing just shit people say or is there any evidence of this? Dude seems like such an OCD health freak I can't see it. I get it, he doesn't sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Vince did a lot of blow back in the Eighties just like everyone did. This whole "he's still a coke head"" thing is just people being silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artDDP Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 If Roman is going to wrestle Triple H at any point it should be a sixty-second squash. The last thing Roman needs is a long, plodding, self-conscious-epic Hunter match. He's already spent too much time selling for Big Show.

Pretty sure Vince either had a facelift and/or botox recently which is giving his face a different look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
