I don't make fun of fatties irl, and I make fun of fat out of shape pro wrestlers.
Knowing how fucked Steve Austin's neck was after Summerslam '97, of course he got extremely noticeably out of shape for the next PPV, but I still make fun of it to myself.
It's the best he could look given the circumstances and 4 weeks later he was trim again, big kudos. It's okay.
But there are wrestlers today who are out of shape long-term, without it being caused by injuries.
And I can see why. Those guys with the 80s wrestling body look that way because they wrestle every single day, sometimes twice a day.
They had no time for big workout schedules with all the traveling they had to do in some of the territories.
At the WWE, nobody wrestles every day. In AEW, nobody wrestles more than once a week.
That's nowhere near enough to start looking the part, and many guys can't be bothered to hit the home gym in off time.
It's laughable that there are guys being paid high six-figure salaries to wear spandex and jiggle in a wrestling ring.
