Chris Hero Back?!?!?!

F4Wonline:

Barring a last minute change, Chris Hero is heading back to WWE, confirmed by a company source according to our Dave Meltzer.

Meltzer didn't add whether he was heading to NXT or the main roster.

On the Saturday night edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer answered a reader question about Hero's lack of bookings for 2017 to which Meltzer said he had some suspicions, adding that he heard about Evolve Wrestling perhaps having some plans for him in the future.

The soon-to-be 37-year-old (born Chris Spradlin) has been in WWE developmental before as Kassius Ohno, spending 2012-13 in Florida Championship Wrestling which became NXT. He was released in November 2013.

Hero has been active on the indies every since, putting on great matches worldwide against a multitude of opponents, including working three shows this weekend for Evolve and Beyond Wrestling.

This would be the latest big indy name WWE has signed recently, a group that included Roderick Strong, Tommy End, Big Damo and others.

This is a photo from August. I'm glad to hear WWE is giving him another chance, he's damn good in the ring.

You have to wonder how much of a shot he'll get though with his gland issues.

For crying out loud he looks terrible. I hope he gets into shape before he comes back because Jesus.

And the circle continues of bringing in an established indy name to prop up the roster as one leaves to the main roster. No way they let him go on TV looking like that though.

Samoa Joe is coming to the main roster but I agree with your second point. Wwe fired him last time cause he was out of shape so idk why they'd bring him back looking worse.

Even though Joe doesn't have the best physique, he still looks like a menacing badass.

This Chris Hero looks like he ate the old Chris Hero

 

[Deezy]

Take it with a grain of salt.

Meltzer vagueness makes me think this is speculation posing as news again.

 

[Jimmy King]

He can still go though, so why should his weight be an issue? It hasn't deterred Kevin Owens, Samoa Joe, and Bray Wyatt.

But their weight looks solid. Chris's looks like he's just an out of shape pig.

 

[Postman Dave]

Hero's been killing it on the indies for 2 years, & people still can't stop going on about his physique.

If WWE are signing him when he's in his current shape, that means they're aware of it & obviously don't give a fuck.

I don't get how he could take bumps like that though. It looks like he has no muscle tone.

Probably gives him a bit more padding to be fair

Honestly, the days of overly jacked muscle heads are gone, the sooner people realise this the better.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

The biggest thing for me is if he covers his ass up. Someone mentioned Bray Wyatt and KO. They both wear shirts, pants and even a singlet underneath KO's clothes I believe. I hope Chris hero tones up at least a little bit and adapts a new ring gear that more suits his physique.
