If I remember right Brodus Clay dropped a ton of weight in developmental before he was brought up to the main roster and that put him in the good books with management. I think it is fair to say in wrestling that there is no middle ground with weight, wrestlers need to be reasonably muscular or need to be fat. If they just look soft then they don't look larger than life and look like an average joe.

Only ever in Japan have I seen guys look like Hero and be extremely over, but that's the difference between Japan and WWE I guess... Misawa and Kobashi are prime examples of it.

But one to KO, he needs to get in shape if he's told too, even if he just gets tone on everything, it'll help his cause and involve his pay package which at the end of the day I would imagine is the most important thing so getting yourself in shape should be a priority... Plus I'd love to have access to kind of gym KO would have access too >.>.

I should have specifically said the US wrestling scene. There aren't too many guys in the modern era that managed to succeed with a terrible physique, if someone has that mid range physique they look lazy without looking like a monster. Someone like Rikishi was supposed to be fat and looked more dangerous because of it if that makes any sense.

But one to KO, he needs to get in shape if he's told too, even if he just gets tone on everything, it'll help his cause and involve his pay package which at the end of the day I would imagine is the most important thing so getting yourself in shape should be a priority...

The fact that he could potentially increase his wage by a substantial amount if he got in shape makes me wonder why he doesn't do it, it also has me question the accuracy of the report. It is an obvious thing to do to get yourself into the best shape possible to impress your employer.

I'm sorry but Kobashi was a terrible example, he was a roided-up freak.

Ohno doesn't have to be Batista sized, but atleast get some definition, being pudgy with skinny arms is not going to make you look like you can beat anyone, and in WWE perception is everything. Look at Daniel Bryan compared to Bryan Danielson.....real good example of what you can do to make the company notice you.

He really needs to get his act together. Its not like WWE is telling him to become Cena size, it seems like they just want some dedication from him and he's unwilling to give it. Sure, WWE has brought in people before how don't have great bodies, like Brodus Clay and Tensai, but I bet if WWE tells them to be at the gym more, guess what, their asses are in the gym. From the looks of recent reports it looks like Ohno doesn't even show up to weight training. He deserves to be off NXT right now if he won't show any form of dedication or motivation.

Didn't this same thing happen not to long ago with Manu? He was released. Ohno is heading down that track. This is why his partner is doing so much better than him.

I think Brodus dropped like 100+ pounds which really impressed WWE. Giants and Samoans can get away with being a bit flabby, some average white boy with no muscle on his arms and a spare tyre who's style is power wrestling cant get away with it. Hows anyone going to believe he can throw guys around?

Its not that hard to pick up a few weights.

I really like Hero and he's in much better shape now than he was a few years back, but if this is true he's just being a douche. It's not even difficult for regular civilians to get into the gym for a couple of hours a few days a week, nevermind someone who's supposed to look like they can tear people a new one for a living. If my employer told me that they want me to spend more time in their top notch gym that I get to use for free I'd be over the moon.

William Regal needs to come down hard on him like Finlay did back when this guy was over 300 pounds in IWA-MS. He got in much better shape for his ROH run but I guess he's just lazy outside the ring which is pretty sad.
