So was Dusty and Bam Bam and One Man Gang and King Kong Bundy and Yokozuna ....
WWE needs to get this prototypical image out of their heads and recognize real talent.
Every time there is a "Stop Picking on Kevin Owens" post (and there seems to be a lot of them) someone always brings up classic fat wrestlers as a defense but never really look at the differences between the old school fat guys and Kevin Owens.
Bigelow, OMG, Bundy and Yokozuna were monster fat guys...they were all well over 400 pounds and well over 6 feet tall.
Kevin Owens is average height and generic 9-to-5 gas station attendant fat.
As for Dusty, he came up at a time when most wrestlers looked like chunky assembly line workers plus Dusty was never pushed as an intimidating killer type wrestler. Dusty was 90% personality. Owens is presented as if he is supposed to be one of the baddest men in the business.
And finally, Owens is a heel who happens to be fat...it stands to reason that fans who don't like him are going to make fun of his fatness. Owens stans getting constantly butt-hurt and crying about conspiracies just comes off as bytchy whining. For all this talk about Kevin Dunn sabotaging Owens the guy still seems to be getting prime spots on Raw every week. If Dunn really wanted to shyt on Owens he would have him in a program with that midget in the bull costume instead of interacting with some of the company's top stars.
