Wrestlers Whose Out-of-Shape Body is Taking a Toll on Them

[Chuck Norris]

Topic title says all.....which wrestlers who have gotten out-of-shape are close to or already have lost their wrestling abilities.

Kane comes to mind quick, Big Show, William Regal, and actually Edge. Anyone else think of any wrestlers who are affected by their shape now-a-days?

 

[PHX]

Matt before he left WWE was one of them. Idk if Edge is out of shape or not exactly but he is declining. Kane I think with him it's more so just him getting up there in age.

 

[SAL]

I can't blame a guy like Edge, he's almost 40 and he's never gotten over with his physique. With all the traveling they do, it's understandable when guys lose a little bit in that area. You could argue that he should take better care of himself when he's out injured, but whatever. Jericho's in that same category, and he didn't help himself by switching to trunks when he did.

 

[SAIYANS]

Kane is older, but he isn't out os shape for a guy his age who has been on the road more than anyone in the company not named HHH over the last decade plus.

Matt Hardy and Mickie James are the prime suspects though for recent Diva and Superstar

Edge is physique is extremely noticeable. Kane is in good shape for an older big man.
The Big show is not in good shape anymore. I just released how big he was after watching his WCW debut.

 

[Phenomenal1]

Surprised nobody has said Undertaker.

He is in phenomenal shape for his age but you can see that his body is taking its toll on him every time he wrestles.

 

[Rush]

Jericho still wrestles well though, even for his weight. He's actually and quite strangely got good pecs and arms.

I think this whole Edge has deteriorated thing is out of hand, I still think he wrestles decently. He still pulls off a lot of his tricks and he's a veteran so he gets away with a lot.

So true. He just looks old now. :tardsmile:
