Not that I disagree with it, but, other than his shape, I don't know what other seasoning he needs tbh?

fixed that for you.. every wrestler lifts weights and exercises, i'm pretty sure its even in their contract. they have to in order to stay in condition to physically wrestle a 10+ minute match. not every wrestler is on steroids however, that is why there is such disparty in size from guy to guy.

if nobody in WWE was juicing, most of the roster would look like CM Punk, i.e. someone who does exercise but doesnt juice so they never become a real freak of nature. People who get to be 250lbs+ naturally end up looking fat like brodus clay, because without the roids you can't stay ripped at 250lbs.

He's one of the most loved and anticipated debuts from the indies, and he is over as hell on NXT. Getting over on WWE's main shows is just a matter of time.

Hero is the best worker on NXT now so it's only a matter of time.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you here, I'd be willing to bet that the majority of the roster isn't juicing. I think you're discrediting the fact that these guys work really hard on their bodies and that it's possible to look good naturally. I'd imagine that most guys take supplements and eat as healthy as possible, combined with hours in the gym. Ohno has even said himself (in his shoot interview) that Cesaro doesn't roid, but would get asked all the time what he took. His response in jest: "6 pints of horse blood a day." LOL. So there's one guy who is ripped without any performance enhancing drugs.

You're assuming a hell of a lot. Booking and mainstream perception will have a big say in whether he gets over on Raw or Smackdown. The fact that he has a far less than impressive physique could really harm him in this scenario.

Still, it seemed like a really random throw away comment to make considering that Ohno has proven nothing on the WWE stage that really matters in the grand scheme of things. He's talented and I'm not hating, but let's be realistic before saying things like 'Do you think it confuses Trips and Vince when guys are over BEFORE they put 20 lbs of muscle on?'.

Ohno hasn't exactly hit his stride in a WWE ring yet either. I mean it shouldn't be a forgone conclusion that he'll get over. He's good enough to get over, he's just not shown it all yet. Worst case scenario would be him being another Kaval (not that I care that much that Ki didn't reach his potential in WWE since I can watch him boss things in NJPW)
