One of the biggest disappointments of modern wrestling is the lack of FAT wrestlers

[Buggsy Mogues]

I'm talking about Earthquake, Tugboat, Bam Bam Bigelow, etc. status. True fat fukks.

I know WWE still has a fat slob on the roster in Kevin Owens, but the difference is with those guys back in the day, being a big fat guy basically WAS their gimmick. They were these gigantic larger than life dudes, while KO look like he should be working the overnight shift at Target.

It's crazy that in the era where appearance seems to mean LESS than ever, there's like no big gigantic fat asses in the wrestling world anymore. When I was a kid these dudes seemed like MONSTERS that it was impossible to ever defeat.

Majority of you mofos always complaining about KO tho

How do you forget arguably the GOAT fat man of the 90s

I was always legitimately concerned about dudes after the bonzai drop as a kid.

I literally addressed that IN the OP nikka

The difference is these guys gimmicks was to be fat fukks. KO is supposed to be some tough guy brawler dude, his fatness isn't even really addressed as part of his gimmick and he literally tries to hide it with oversized clothing.

And he's not a "big" guy size wise, he's a regular looking guy who is just fat.

With the way how wrestling fans are on the internet and how PC every thing has become don't expect lots more "true fat fukks" to pop back in the wrestling scene.

Samoa joe

Bray Wyatt

Owens

Strowman is kinda fat

 

[OVER]

There is Heavy Machinery who are a fun big man duo, GFW has Kongo Kong who's a monster and Fallah Bahh, Beer City Bruiser and Shane Taylor in ROH. They just lack the height of their fat fukk forefathers like Yoko, Vicera, and King Kong Bundy were like 6ft 6 and taller.

nikka what. There’s just as many now as there were then. They’re just better in the ring, besides terrible Bray Wyatt.

Honestly, it's better now in terms of big bruiser ugly looking motherfukkers.

They have the wyatts, Braun, Owens, even Brock kinda fits the bill. For a while, it was all these tanned in shape dudes.

You need big fat walls of mass like earthquake. Difference between Owens and them, is that they were monsters. HUGE dudes that were threatening, but at the same time (and this is important), no kid wants to be Earthquake. Perfect heels.

Where-as 1998-2000 Kane was also big and menacing, but he was jacked and looked cool. People will get behind that. No one is gonna wanna live through fat ass Earthquake or King Kong Bundy.

100% agree wrestling needs more guys like that. Even Bret has said so.
