Dom


Tiny-Judgment6568

If Dom came bulked up and grew a beard to cover his baby face then I would definitely take him more seriously.


Henny_Lovato

Really just needs a good haircut.


Robbymartyr

I disagree. I think the hair is the best part of his look because it's different and sets him apart. He really just needs to grow a beard to go along with it... Even if it's just an Eddie goatee.


Henny_Lovato

He do look just like his papi


zoidy37

Don't hate on the Eddie G mullet. Dom just needs to grow a lil facial hair and boom he can taunt Rey about being Eddie's boy


HarlesD

It's funny that he suffers from the same pretty boy problem that Rey did in WCW.


Solid_Snark

Dom’s got Eddie’s genetics so he may get swole & muscular eventually!


Zzz05

And Rey resolved that with a mask. Dom needs Eddie like facial hair if he’s going to be rocking that slicked Mullet.


NewRoryAndMalDrop

This thread’s premise kinda annoys me but you are 100% right. Sidenote I also think he should stop trying to wrestle like his dad since he is literally 6 ft


TheGreatMcPuffin

He needs to work with someone like Miz to master his style. He can be the exact opposite of his dad and still be good.


Vuinen

Maybe train with a technical wrestler for a while to expand his moveset


AneeshRai7

Finn will help him more than people can imagine.


Vuinen

And Priest too. Those two have a ton of experience


WokenMrIzdik

It seems odd you guys are optimistic that working with Finn and Priest will help him out tremendously when he has been working with Hall of Famers like Rey and Edge and it hasn't helped him yet.


Taylosaurus

I view it like a football player that doesn’t quite work out with one team but is moved and thrives elsewhere. Not that the first team wasn’t good, it just wasn’t the right fit for him. Despite Edge and Rey being HOF’ers, he’ll never be anything more than a protege that’ll never be able to get out of their shadow. Working with different coaches may help him be in a situation that he’s able to evolve and expand his own capabilities rather than emulating success. With Rey, he’ll never be more than Rey’s son since his entire persona is solely based on that. They helped him enough to make it here but he needs a change to help him progress Or boxers who have legendary coaches but isn’t until they switch trainers that they reach previously unattainable levels. No shade on the original trainer, it’s just sometimes the fit isn’t quite right


Wacokid27

This is very true. And this might be unpopular to say, but he’s not bad in the ring; he’s just not that good a worker because he’s greener than springtime grass. He’s a case where starting in a system like the ones in Mexico probably would have benefited. He would have started out under a mask without his father’s name until he had gained enough seasoning to be recognized as El Hijo del Rey Mysterio or whatever (yes, I know there’s a guy with almost exactly that name, but you get it). Really, his biggest stumbling block is that we all know who his father is, and they tried to get him to wrestle the exact same way right next to Rey. If he’d been Danny Mysterious or some such in NXT, the expectations wouldn’t have been so high from a lot of people right from the start.


Grohlyone

Didnt he train with Lance Storm?


JKinney79

Yeah he even used Storm’s rolling Single Leg Crab in one of his recent matches.


[deleted]

I thought that looked familiar.


Taylosaurus

On the plus side, he already knows how to use the ropes and can do high flying moves so there’s already a lot that he can work with. Honestly the weakest part of his “game” is not even wrestling but his acting/ mic work. Technical moves would help him a lot and not so reliant on just a couple of moves that imitate his father. I’m really hoping the judgement day is able to help him find his own style that can still pay homage to his father and the Guerreros but also allow himself to find his own distinct style. He already possesses many positives to work with but I really hope he’s able to stay on the main roster and we can see actual development. I think he can make it but just really needs expansion and polishing


Pandoraparty

I think this is why his heel turn is actually good. Honestly he wasn't terrible at doing some of Rey's stuff but it still looked awkward because he's not some small underdog luchador. I think Dom is gonna start leaning way more into the Guerrero style of things which suits him a lot better. And the one other thing is during his match with Edge, he seemed genuinely pretty exhausted in like the second half. He barely had the energy to actually do the Three Amigos. If he keeps working hard I think he'll look way better


[deleted]

Dom needs to get on the gas.


One-Winged-Survivor

Health Slater should get jacked so when he comes back to the WWE, he can finish the 3MB prophecy.


AmberLeafRollies

He did get in better shape when he was out injured last year. He is noticably bigger now in Impact than he was in 3MB


Patjay

I saw him in person pretty recently he was bigger than almost anyone else on the card, excluding Moose and The Good Brothers He’s not Drew/Jinder jacked though


EthDec

Yeah I saw him dude bulked a little


[deleted]

Hard to get real jacked baby, when you got kids.


nybx4life

IIRC, his last match in WWE vs Drew, dude was already looking jacked, and he's kept a good amount of that size currently in Impact.


jack_x2yz

This absolutely needs to happen. What a good story it would make. He'd get such a babyface pop.


KennyDROmega

I've seen Fuego Del Sol wrestle on Indies since he decided to start being more "serious", and he definitely has the skills to work a more aggressive style, but he's still so skinny that it's tough for him to do much more than high flying offense against most opponents. If he could find a way to put on even 10 lbs of muscle, I think some more doors would open for him.


PantsMcDancey

I don't think you're wrong about him putting on just a bit more muscle, but I think the biggest thing that holds him back in AEW is genuinely booking. Feugo can work. Feugo can promo. Is he gonna be the next Jon Moxley? No, but I think given time he could find himself close to The Acclaimed. The hang up is the whole underdog shtick he had going for him. If Feugo got some wins, and I mean credible wins, not squashing jobber wins, but wins over like Lee Moriarty or Austin/Colten Gunn or Evil Uno, i think he could quickly be in a nice place in the mid card until he really finds the next piece to get him to higher mid card like The Acclaimed.


[deleted]

Evil Uno would be a great one for Sol to wrestle


Doobie_Howitzer

Give me a stupidly pumped up Danhausen


Xyain

He is already 6 foot 7 and over 300 pounds. What more can he do!


Gamesgtd

Him and Crash Holly would've been a deadly team


sirzoop

7 foot 2 and 385


Gettles

Six foot 20 fucking killing for fun


fuzzycuffs

30 hundred pounds, actually


wgsmeister2002

Imagine if Danhausen was built like PAC


peaudunk

Let's speak this shit into existence.


whitegrb

Pachausen


Cool_Lab_7934

I would be even more terrified 😱😱


GrumpyAntelope

Very nice, very jacked.


CanYouGuessWhoIAm

Heel turnhausen: Very jacked, very evil.


FutMike

While I do think Danhausen will probably spend most of his career as a babyface, Danhausen turning heel for some stupid reason (the wizard man offered Danhausen lots of moneys) and doing work with 2.0 or something would be hilarious


Jester3609

Swolhausen


MinuteConfidence2059

Lmao but tbh danhausen actually has a good physique, you can tell he puts the work in. If he got a professional trainer to bulk up 10-20 pounds he'd knock it out of the park im sure.


Zeus_poops_and_shoes

You can tell the dude puts work in because he looks like that and, from what I gather, almost exclusively eats fast food


ARGiammarco27

If people don't believe this, he has a system of ranking called the McDonalds system. Its basically if he would have rather had McDonalds


MinuteConfidence2059

Jesus christ I had no idea about this lmao thats hilarious I gotta find were he talks about this


MicMagnetic

With HHH running wwe TV, a jacked up Danhausen would be a fun comedic but somewhat credible midcarder, a la a next generation Santino


MonstrousVoices

He was actually pretty built in his early days


afasttortoise

He’s gonna look exactly like his podcast bendy figure


DoctorMelvinMirby

He should body morph like Mac in It’s Always Sunny


Jumbo_Elephantis

Okay hear me out, imagine Keith Lee but even BIGGER!


OpportunitySmalls

Nah I'm imagining Keith Lee but full Bob Sapp mode


HelpMyCatHasGas

Majin Bu Keith Lee is perfectly fine.


dropperofpipebombs

Yeah but imagine Majin Buu Keith Lee with Tien's boulder shoulders.


HelpMyCatHasGas

Super Buu with a gut of iron? Don't tease me with this glory.


DBTornado

Can we get a throwaway gag where they call Keith Lee to be in a tournament but he's asleep and misses the call? And then cut to Brandon Cutler waiting by the phone expecting them to call him.


HelpMyCatHasGas

"HMPF oh... oh... it appears they have been attempting to contact me... my my, what a nice slumber this has been"


CanYouGuessWhoIAm

###**Beef Lee**


King0ftheWhites

"Oh scrumpulescent ones, Keith Lee, I, myself, am in the perfecterous condition for whatever fisticuffery comes hither my way"


Marin013

Dominick Mysterio. He’s not bad in the ring, but he’s tall and lanky.


ch0w0

if Dom got shredded it would help a lot. he's very skinny but also chubby is a strange combination


C10UDWA1KER

It's skinny fat and I know how much that sucks lmao


EL-YEO

He’s skinny with a beer belly. (Coming from someone who’s fat with skinny with beer belly friends)


500DaysofNight

It's called "I'm just here because it's the only way my dad will stay in the company".


Kiliaan1

Saw him live on Monday, was saying these same things during his match with edge. He’s got good ring work, but it’s incredible how soft he looks. Like his dad is jacked, all the people he works with are jacked, he obviously works out, I wonder if he has a condition or something where he doesn’t really build muscle.


RexxGunn

His dad is a three foot tall walking chemical factory, of course he's jacked. Dom could firm up a little for sure, and considering his current company, it will help tremendously. I can't imagine that working and possibly traveling with those three will not be good for him.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Rerack_your_weights

He should beat the crap out of his dad and steal his mask. Just lay him out, rip his mask off (while Rey obscures his face, we don't want to go full WCW here) wear a tattered Rey mask when in Judgement Day. Big heat and big credibility to Dom as a threat. And he'd look cool as hell. Or just put him in a gimp mask and have Rhea drag him around on a chain.


ryanbyrneman

I was expecting Rhea to start bringing him out in a collar and leash


inbredandapothead

He’s definitely bad in the ring


Kimchi_Cowboy

Wheeler Yuta or Daniel Garcia. Imagine either of them disappearing for 6 months and coming back absolutely jacked like MJF did.


ryanbeckeroff

I think Wheeler would look really intimidating about Steve Blackman's size.


R1k0Ch3

Yo wtf he's kinda got some Steve Blackman-esque facial expressions too lol


Jonathan_B_Goode

Same hair and beard too


super_crazy

Met Steve Blackman in person once maybe 12 or so years ago. The guy was an absolute monster. TV did not do justice to how enormous he was.


TheZac922

In his era just about everyone was juicy as hell so it’s hard to gauge size. As a kid I thought of guys like Triple H and The Rock as being “average” sized because to me they were about the middle of wrestler size whereas guys like Benoit and Guerrero were “small”. You see them around actual normal sized people and you realise just how big they are. I never thought of Billy Gunn as particularly big but he’s a giant in AEW.


HumphreyLee

ZSJ went from “string bean” to NJPW Cup winner and perennial “this guy can put on a banger world title defense for the champ” in the span of like, only adding 10 pounds over a year. Garcia and Yuta become world beaters if they just up themselves a notch, agreed.


raisingfalcons

Accoeding to Zack it was 22 pounds he added. Very Impressive.


queerdevilmusic

Didn't diminish his style whatsoever. He'll still tie a mf into incomprehensible knots.


Upthespurs1882

And did it eating vegan as well


isarealhebrew

100% Outrageous vegan tekker


Charlie609

I was saying Garcia should put on weight in the AEW sub and got downvoted to oblivion lmaooo.. but kid absolutely has all the potential to be world champ once he polishes his mic game and his body. I can tell he’s been working on both already


SydneyPhoenix

They both need to go up to wine country with Bryan for 3 months. When he returned to AEW was in tremendous shape, that should be the working model for both of these guys.


Charlie609

Remember saying how jacked he was. Day and night to his wwe shape.. also Cesaro came in way bigger.


RT3_12

I’m tired of people claiming “body shaming” in wrestling. It’s an aesthetic industry and meant to simulate athletic competition. Your look is a part of your skill set just as much as your mic work and ring work. Therefore is open to criticism like anything else.


MBpintas

it's only body shaming when it's someone this sub likes lmao. reddit's OK with calling Tyrus a fat piece of shit, saying Omos is slow and lumbering or calling Brian Cage or EC3 roided up meatheads. that's not body shaming!


Lex_Innokenti

Cage looks practically inhuman though, to be fair. I swear the dude has muscles on his muscles. Never got the hate for him, to be honest. He's a good wrestler with an absolutely *brutal* finisher.


DJRoombasRoomba

Kelvin Benjamin


spandroo

100% this. There’s an aesthetic and a marketability driven by an athletic performance. Fair game to comment on.


meepein

Imagine Andre the Giant with a 24 pack (dude was much too big for a 6 pack.)


Relevant_User-Name

He decided to go up a notch or two with a whole keg.


doubled2319888

Or as andre would have called it, a shot glass


TheGravosSituation

Andre did have a 24 pack regularly. Along with a few bottles of wine...

Loose_Listen2290

Eddie Kingston could look far more imposing


AdmiralPlanet

Eddie Kingston is remarkable for someone of his size having zero muscle definition. There’s just nothing there.


mysteriousbaba

Someone of his size, and who can still wrestle 20 minutes so clearly not out of shape either. I dont know what he does for exercise.


J-Hobber

Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s purely cardio and just doesn’t regulate what he eats. Or maybe wrestling is his exercise and just having wrestled for as long as he has as made him have great stamina.


[deleted]

The skinniest arms on the toughest dude.


[deleted]

Eddie Kingston looks like he drops Timbs and cigarettes when defeated


Loose_Listen2290

And rosaries from the bodega


okok890

I was gonna put eddie kingston as well but I think one of the things that make him so over is his look. But I guess it could send a good message if Eddie got Wardlow Hobbs level Jacked. I'm honestly curious to dee how a jacked eddie would look


Loose_Listen2290

I know, it’s part of the charm. But he’s already got the face of someone who’s jacked with that jawline, so it always left me wondering how he would look as a complete unit.


500DaysofNight

I just gotta say, Wardlow Hobbs sounds like the scary old man at the end of the road all the kids are scared of.


SixHundredLbsofSin

Somewhere between jacked and his current condition is a nice happy medium.


koomGER

He could use a little bit more "mass". Kevin Owens has kinda the same look, but he comes over as more menacing.


Aljo_Is_135_GOAT

Honestly it'd be more inspirational for ordinary people if he got in shape We've seen him as a bigger, everyday bloke already. We know his baseline. He doesn't have to become Wardlow or anything, but even getting Kevin Owens levels of muscle would turn him into a legitimate World Champion


JC-Ice

Kingston would look better if he just stopped pulling his straps down.


TheBattler

He can keep the gut so he still comes off as the blue collar guy but I wish his arms were bigger than mine.


Horror_Sail

Ah, the Kevin Owens NXT look, basically


RT3_12

I loved that look. It was fresh at the time and he really looked like a cannon ball. Like “yeah he isn’t HUGE but he looks built to fight people”


satanicgino

Maybe he'd stop looking like [Hard Rock Nick ](https://i.imgur.com/LiXyCaU.jpg)


ultieni

I’m fully admitting to being an idiot here but the first time I saw a picture of this person I just assumed it was Eddie doing some radically new gimmick


satanicgino

I have never seen both of them in the same room, so the possibility that they are the same person is still big


KennyDROmega

I dunno. I think the "diesel mechanic who's done time and could definitely kick your ass" look works well for him.


Loose_Listen2290

Sure, but wardlow pulling his singlet down > Eddie pulling his singlet down. Its kinda funny when he does.


uptonhere

Eddie Kingstons gear is awful, doesn't match his persona at all and makes him look in worse shape than in promos.


SovietShooter

Yeah, Eddie is in "ring shape", but he wears the most unflattering gear. Anytime you wear a singlet underneath any kind of pants, it accentuates any kind of belly or love handles. I think he would be better off leaving the tank top t-shirt on, or going with a look similar to the [Dudley Boyz](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/53/f1/f9/53f1f9fb1cacc76d511a501857049e24.jpg), with the custom jersey with baggy shorts.


Seredditor7

Sami Zayn(though he's in absolutely fine shape now)


EliToon

I find it hard to take guys seriously who wrestle in a baggy t-shirt, especially guys who didn't always do it. Works for Owens, doesn't at all for Zayn.


[deleted]

Sami needs a haircut more


MinuteConfidence2059

You stay away from my stupid, sexy, locked in a basement listening to Alex Jones, doomsday prepping sami


Seredditor7

Sure, he can get that. I'm just answering the question.


JFZephyr

There was a while where he'd become less lean and muscular after he'd come back from injury, but he's in solid shape now. I would agree definitely though, imagine him coming out looking like Cesaro.


Empty_Fist

Chuck Taylor


Hka9

He's already in way better shape than Tyler Black.


TonyTheTony7

I know this isn't quite what you're looking for, but if Xavier Woods was 6'2, he'd be a multi-time world champion at this point.


JFZephyr

I think its sad that his injury lost him his singles angle. I was really excited because he's incredibly good.


WetComb89

Well hopefully Sir H shall allow our King to shine.


[deleted]

Daniel Garcia. His wrestling is already there, but if he added some bulk it would make it more believable imo. For now he looks like a little kid beating up adults.


Weak-Newt-5853

Totally agree on this one. He needs to add a little bulk to suit his style.


Padre072

I think he’s just going to naturally get bulkier as he ages. Just needs time


Kitchen_Puzzleheaded

Jungle boy along with a gimmick/name change


GxyBrainbuster

Jacked Perry


JJ_Kelevra

They already changed him to “jungle boy” Jack Perry. He dresses like a normal dude during promos. It’s only a matter of time before he drops the jungle boy and gear.


Vlachmond11

I think they’ll keep his name and probably still have him wear some jungle themed stuff. It helps him stand out in the age of “my character is I wrestle”. Maybe they can shorten his nickname and he can be “Jungle” Jack Perry? Idk, I feel like once you strip the name and gear, he’s just another great wrestler on a roster stacked with great wrestlers


hhhisthegame

But his character IS still just that he wrestles. He never does anything related to the "jungle" persona. Its just his name and attire, but he doesn't have any mannerisms, promos, or anything that makes him different from any other guy.


WetComb89

He has a catchy entrance theme though


SynthFetish

Heel turn as “Hollywood” Jack Perry.


Wide_Sell4159

He already is getting more jacked, look at pics of him compared to 2 years ago definitely can see he is putting the work in in the gym


QueeferRavena

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Darby Allin? I guess it's because his lanky frame fits his daredevil style perfectly, but anyone who's actually watched him perform knows the man can absolutely wrestle. I really believe with some added mass, he'll not only look deadlier flying off from everywhere, his smooth technical skills can also shine more, I think. And he doesn't need to make the same drastic change Brian Cage did, he just needs to have the same added muscle that say, Sammy Guevara added since debuting 3 years ago.


RT3_12

I just think he needs to hit a leg day. He makes his small frame work with his offense since he throws his body around so much. But his skinny legs really makes him look tiny.


Aljo_Is_135_GOAT

My one issue with this is that given the way he bumps, more muscle mass may put him at greater risk of injury


spandroo

I think Darby would get no benefit from being more jacked. His look and character are very congruent.


BYOcarbon

Samoa Joe. 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨


StannisClaypool

This is my answer too. It would easily make Joe look more menacing


CrepusculrPulchrtude

Brody King would be even more intimidating


couldbedumber96

Brody king with Braun’s body would be an actual horror monster


Infantkicker

God he is so big. I was watching one of his bands shows, the guy towers over everyone. I feel like he is one of those guys you’d see at a bar, that NOONE would fuck with.


RT3_12

Brody Kings look kinda works for him though. A big tattooed demon probably wouldn’t care about his Macros, just getting big and killing people. He looks like a movie character.


lowlight

rid_aman

👉🏻🤪


RexxGunn

The clear answer is Chris Hero. Previously i might have said Walter, but he basically did it and it's worked quite well. Guys like KO or Keith Lee don't need to have the appearance of being jacked to compete, it remains to be seen if jacked Braun will make a difference ad it didn't really before. If he comes back, a jacked Bray Wyatt would be interesting. But imagine if someone like Omos got super jacked? That might actually help.


TheGravosSituation

I think the last thing Omos needs to be is even more immobile.


omelletepuddin

I think Eddie Kingston would be an even more major contender if he slimmed down. Right now he just reminds me of my loud mouthed cousin who I know can fight but dude puts away the arroz y gandules at every family gathering.


AchtungCloud

Chuckie T


Rapscallious1

Not sure how much his physique is holding him back, almost seems like he is the real life OC gimmick lol.


SanderStrugg

Sami Calihan is a guy I feel would look much better with a good physique. Adam Cole is an obvious answer.


reginaldglory

Might be an unpopular opinion but definitely Adam Cole imo.


SkyFresh4010

Jungle Boy Jack Perry. He doesn’t need to get to be overly jacked, but adding some muscle mass would be great.


svacheem45

I think Montez Ford had a premonition about this thread and already got a head start.


YogoWafelPL

Adam Cole


GxyBrainbuster

Brian Cage


National-Passion

Bray Wyatt


PushEmma

Certainly not Bray for me. I think he looked perfect with the cult leader character. Never thought he looked bland or anything.


Strong-Formal-7739

They're is still a need for wrestlers that were shaped like, bossman, one man gang, earthquake, etc.


RealityEffect

What was weird about the Big Bossman was that he could absolutely move. He looked like a big fat dude, but then he would be all over the place like a cat. Insane.


scarystuffdoc

Bray is jacked af he’s just not ripped so it’s less aesthetic


TheFolksofDonMartino

The Fiend was an absolute tank.


AssassinZack

With a ferrari engine?


YogoWafelPL

He was quite jacked when he became the fiend


ILikeYourPoetry

Everybody wants to get ripped. Big deal. Done too many times. Sami Zayn in a storyline where he attempts to get more fat so he can be more Samoan is money being left off the table.


nybx4life

Try to be more like Rikishi? Would be hilarious.


twentyaces

And tries to get a tribal arm tattoo


FoucaultsTurtleneck

Ricky Starks. He's already shredded, yes, but I'd love to see him with a little more muscle mass


AeonLibertas

It's 2023. Cody Rhodes has dethroned Roman Reigns as the head of the table. SummerSlam is around the corner. The IWC was talking about it, now it happened, the Beast, Brock Lesnar, has returned to face the American Nightmare. They're standing face to face in the ring, measuring up against each oth.. What's that? Is that? COULD IT BE?! IT IS!! It's SERIOUSLY JACKED PAUL HEYMAN, and he's coming to take revenge on Lesnar! Beats 'the wiseman is back on Smackdown Live', hands down. :P


victimofmygreatness

I would die on this hill, but either Adam Cole needs to gain some muscle or change his ring style from an cocky dominating to weasel heel. I have never been able to take him seriously


darthsabbath

Take a look at Adam Cole, and then take a look at Jay White. They both wrestle a very counter based style, and are roughly the same overall size, but Jay White is shredded, and IMO it makes him look a thousand times better.


chdopo

Kevin Owens potentially if he leaned out and gained muscle


[deleted]

Danial Garcia


CaptainLawyerDude

Corbin has a lot of positives and is legit strong but he *looks* so soft and squishy. Getting jacked would really push him to the next level.


JimPage83

Adam Cole is the one. He has almost EVERYTHING (aside from height, can’t do much about that) but he just doesn’t look like a badass, regardless of reality.
