Is Hero still Matt Hardy Fat?

 

[slightconfuse]

Welp, as hinted at by all the scuttlebutt on twitter and his lack of bookings in 2017, it appears that the rumours about Hero being resigned by the WWE are true;

What a crazy year he's had though, one of the best in-ring years any performer has had in a good long while. Glad I got to see him perform live and in some goddamn amazing matches.

Noooooooooooooo

Lol at NXT hiring another mid 30s wrestler. Dat next generation

Should've never left anyway.

Curious to see if he'll go straight to the main roster, or back to NXT first. Even more important, will he have to use the Kassius Ohno name, or does he get to enter as Hero? Surely there's no room on the main roster for two KOs?

 

[Hasney]

Wow, who would've thought. I'll eat crow on this one.

Hero will probably beat you to eating it

i see why you all thought the jimmy promos were lame

 

[excelsiorlef]

I caught some old NWA WCW episodes on the network and Barbarian was on as your typical slow 80s buff monster.

It's crazy that 10 years later on Nitro he evolved his style to a fun power move set, when guys like the Road Warriors didn't.

Shoot: The Faces of Fear are in my top 5 fav tag yeam list.

 

[Anth0ny]

chris hero?

but...



BUT....

 

[slightconfuse]

Janela is definition of a garbage wrestler

Dude is Indy sleaze

That is some pretty terrible shit.

 

[somedevil]

So how long till people want Hero to replace Sheamus and team with Cesaro?

Hope he goes to Smackdown though.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Hero will be in the Cruiserweight Division

 

[avengers23]

Good for Chris Hero. They're probably going to change his look, but he deserves the payday after the crazy 2016 he's had.

Evolve takes another loss though. But if they can book Cobb regularly, that more than makes up for it.

That said, losing Chris Hero's entrance theme is a blow to independent wrestling.

 

[ANuclearError]

In taxi back from ICW taping, brother mentions to driver we were there. Driver instantly recognises Grado (even drops "Fae the tap end of Stevenson", to my surprise). Grado wasn't at taping due to pantomime commitments.

Rather amusing, dunno if we just got a smarky driver or if Grado's that well known (bets on latter).

We're getting Joe vs Hero for Joe's 16th NXT title win with a run-in from Steiner. Don't quote me, meltz told me himself on Snapchat.

Chris Hero is 36 years old by the way

NEW GENERATION

Mr. Perfect looks like he's going to die in a year.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

They should just bring Hero up straight away. But Triple H is probably drooling at having yet another well-known Indie guy NXT Champion.

 

[Foggy]

Hero, pls no

 

[Data West]

Hero to be the 4th? 5th? 6th? Wyatt

 

[Genghis Khan]

Hero to be the 4th? 5th? 6th? Wyatt

Better chance of him joing SAnitY in my opinion. Yeah Hero had a good year for himself, but why they reward a guy they fired for being overweight?

I don't think he's going to the main roster until 2018

 

[Heroman]

Hero is probably the antithesis of what Vince wants as a wrestler

because he got over elsewhere on someone else's dime

i dont know if you've paid attention to wwe's recent signings, but they love that.

So did Styles. Every one of the scrubs gets an L to Jericho at least

 

[British Monsoon]

Ricochet vs Riddle!! This should be fun.

 

[MG310]

Mr. Perfect looks like he's going to die in a year.

All I remember about his 2002 run was that Perfectplex on Big Show.

 

[Genghis Khan]

They let one stable go right to the main roster. Nobody else has completely skipped NXT other then The Bullet Club, and Hero is no Styles. Yeah I'm sure they're happy that he's done well for himself, hence bringing him back. But I don't think there's any way he skips NXT.

At this point it doesn't matter. They all suffer the same fate. And you can balee dat.

I jsut realized i never subbed to floslam. Is the yearly commitment an upfront 150?

150 a year upfront or 20$ a month

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Tatsu is gone and Hero is back. Sami must be happy.

Independent standout Chris Hero is reportedly “heading back” to WWE — and sources tell us the current plan is for the man formerly known as Kassius Ohno to re-join the NXT brand.

The Wrestling Observer first reported the story, but didn’t reveal further details about Hero’s WWE return … however, our sources say the ball has been rolling on this for a few weeks now.

We’re told the current consensus behind the scenes seems to be that he’ll go back to using the KO name and this will be a continuation of his former character.

Don't know what you guys are crying about, again. Mid 30s to early 40s is the prime of most wrestler's careers.

Ohno.

Also with Owens, the KO initials don't really work as well.

I think the issue is less his age overall and more the fact a guy his age might be on NXT where most of the main event tier stars are over 35 when the brand is developmental.

 

[Genghis Khan]

I think you answered yourself. Why are they adding someone in their prime to developmental?

That's what people would be "crying" about.
