Arn Anderson looks like a bad ass. Dude looked like he was made of steel. And he most certainly did not look like this

Lol. Arn Anderson was jiggly as fuck, because he was a man who knew who to enjoy a case of beer and BBQ and would break your neck if you tried to take any of it from him. Definitely didn't look like steel at any point in his career.

Put Punk, Arn, Wyatt, Harper in a line up. Who is the guy you'd have the biggest chance of winning a fight with?

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

I think size is also just mass though. Vince has had a hard-on for Big Show and Mark Henry for years and they aren't cut up and ripped, but they are huge. I think Bray and guys like Harper fall into that camp. Vince likes the side-show look at much as he likes the bodybuilder looks.

Dont forget this guy

 

[Perspicacity]

Harper could probably ditch the tank top

 

[dakun]

Harper could probably ditch the tank top

that must be an old pic.. he looks nowhere near as fit now..

Vince is also the guy that reportedly got Andre the Giant to wrestle, so there's that.

What it comes down to is Vince would rather put over the guy that looks like Billy Graham than the guy that looks like a punk rocker. He thinks that is what will appeal well to multiple demos, not the guy that looks like Punk.

Even watching Punk's bio, I was shocked to see how much crossover there was between punk and wrestling.

The one that is the least knowledgeable about fighting, which you probably wouldn't know until it's too late.

 

[Bert409]

Luke Harper is fucking awesome and should be the next face of WWE

 

[Chopper]

I get that Vince likes big guys. Under HHH's time we've also seen some successful small guys. But I never thought vince was into guys that look so out of shape. punk looked fat too tho

Fat.

 

[Buckethead]

To be fair, Punk was chubbier when he came in because he wanted to bulk up.

That being said.... lol

 

[Jazzy Network]

That skinny fat fuck!

 

[Zoolader]

skinnyFat.

There. Do you see it now?

 

[kirblar]

Nah, he had put on weight towards the end and it was noticeable on a guy his size. (I also thought that "Michelin Man Daniel Bryan" looked way worse than "Regular Athletic Guy DB"

 

[Jazzy Network]

Maybe he couldn't work out as much due to the fucking thing on his back?

 

[Dick Justice]

Arn Anderson looks like a bad ass. Dude looked like he was made of steel. And he most certainly did not look like this

His gimmick is that of a dirty hillbilly. He does it well. He can go in the ring, is surprisingly agile, and he's a believable threat visually.

 

[Jazzy Network]

How many weeks do you think it has been since he washed his wife beater?

 

[block tower]

what punk said about sponsors and wrestlers really drives home how archaic Vince's thinking is for the WWE. hate or love punk, but he was a breath of fresh air when he wrestled in the WWE and the WWE lost major talent letting him go.

and the Ryback stories punk kept telling are believable to me, dude looks like he'd be a roided out asshole and fuckhead in the ring.

 

[Credo]

i'm hesitant to believe punk, especially vs. hhh. hhh has an ego, but it seems mostly justified (he was awesome for 15+ years) and he seems to put on a good product when he is in charge. punk seems like that person who corrects your grammar in real life when you say "i'm doing good".

You know, that sounds familiar.

 

[Marvel]

Punk has great calves, not as good as Bubba's but great none the less. Running is good for that.

 

[slightconfuse]

 

[fader]

Fat.

god damn he's fat!

 

[Mr.Swag]

Just listened to the podcast.

Wonder how much he got in the settlement

 

[Anth0ny]

Fat.

fat

 

[charsace]

Height factors in to it too. Bryan is a midget. Also a terrible promo

He's been employed how many years and he still can't not smirk when cutting a promo

That's his character in the WWE. When they let him be more serious he can cut a good promo. In the lead up against Cena at SS the WWE let him loose a little from his smiling idiot baby face gimmick and he was good. The problem is that WWE doesn't want him out wrestling guys so they make be the character he currently is.

He looked like Tyson Tomko.

 

[NoRéN]

god damn he's fat!

Fuckin fat short order cook!

 

[Bert409]

 

[Indrid Cold1]

Fat.

He looks shopped here! It's not that I can tell from the pixels as the old saying goes, but I simply can't remember him being that ripped and I have been a fan since his debut on ECW (missed out on the ROH stuff)

 

[Masquerader]

Fat.

Fucking Waffle House.

Fat Hero really annoys me. Could've made a good fist at a WWE career if he'd made the effort. Although that's probably not the most desirable of paths right now.

 

[Furyous]

You know, that sounds familiar.

This is the best thing I've seen all day. It's great that CM Punk leaves the business on his own terms. It's heartbreaking to watch my favorite wrestlers leave the business due to injuries.

 

[Kurt Angle]

[Dark Ninja]

Chris Hero has to either be crazy or have some sort of medical problem to get that fat that fast. He was stationary in NXT he should have been able to control his diet and workout. To work that much for that long just to give up is crazy

 

[Clegg]

Hardy can be excused I think. Had a genuine medical problem.

HHH was always the best though. Came back from his first knee op absolutely shredded and then over the course of the next few years just bloated out. Looked comical around 03/04.

 

[Y2Kev]

he doesn't get my simpy for being fat

 

[whatsinaname]

I've been watching some of CM Punk's promos since listening to this podcast. He is rather good at them.

 

[Data West]

'The look' doesn't mean ripped bodybuilder massive monster, and it never has. Otherwise, Warlord would have been world champion.

You should listen to his commentary he is quite good at talking in general https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Duzwm9GWSN8

 

[Hasney]

Punk on commentary? It doesn't get much better than his work on the old version of NXT.

[Chopper]

I'm a fan of the WWE, and the draw for me has always been match quality rather than the size of the guys in the ring. I don't understand why the overall focus of the company can't be on that: the quality of the match, hence the entertainment value of the product. Writing helps too.

And marketing's a shitty excuse. The stacked-ness of the main man really shouldn't matter, unless the boss has a hard-on for bodybuil...

Oh. I see.

Anyone who agrees with Vince is a huge part of the problem.

Funny looking back on it that he went on to marry one of these women.

He has mental and emotional problems. It's sad. Guy could be a star. Soon though he will be the fat guy in the swimming pool wearing a shirt.

I know he kinda looks like Hero there, but you're confused.

Holy shit!

I'm dead serious when I say that he was actually very VERY good! My god he is hilarious and very articulate. And unlike the other knuckleheads currently on commentary, he actually knows his stuff and knows how to call.

Man that was great. XD if anything, I wished CM Punk came back as a commentator. Get rid of Jerry too. It would be great!

Yeah, quoted the wrong person. Mah bad.

Yeah, was hoping that's what he'd do when he retired. Wouldn't happen though, Vince/HHH would be in his ear constantly and ask Foley how that worked out.

I hate to break this to you, but Triple H isn't a real vampire either.
