WWE making fun of someone's weight isn't anything new, but I take exception to it in this case because this is happening at the same time Bray Wyatt is on the roster and he's really not in any better shape than owens, wrestles in street clothes too and is more limited in the ring, yet they won't dare make fat jokes at Bray's expense because he's a 2nd generation 'WWE guy'.
They also just eulogized Dusty Rhodes framing him as a hero among men, and he was probably never below 30% body fat in his entire career.. not to mention all the other wrestlers from other eras who never looked like bodybuilders. WWE is 100% pure politics as usual, if you're in good with the bookers or related to somebody who was, you get a free pass. Really hypocritical, especially when they're trying to pretend to be anti-bullying (despite everyone in power in WWE being a bully in real life). "Don't be a bully, be a star!.. unless you're fat, then fuck off and die!"
Also on the topic of physiques, if they want Owens to look like Cena maybe they should put him on the same steroid/HGH cycle Cena is running? Oh, that would mean acknowledging wrestlers still abuse PED's despite WWE's bullshit PR posturing with their fake wellness policy. Can't have that! No, instead we just say things like Owens has to 'HIT THE GYM' and he'll magically get that WWE physique in no time. Yep! Just hit the gym and hit 10cc of 'Gymsterone', 'Gymbuterol', & 'Gymbolone' weekly and he'll look like Cena in no time!
