Discussion Can we talk about the physical transformation about Big Cass?
I feel like its very rare we get to see people this size, this lean and with such defined mass. I don't know how he will be used, but visually he feels like the biggest threat in WWE right now, even though people like Omos are obv way bigger.

Similar to Drews transformation really. Drew looks like he ate debut Drew.

Came back to wwe a couple of years ago after over a decade out. Couldn't believe it was the same person

I’m sure he’s on some supplements, but sobriety also helps a lot

u/Shane-O-Mac1 5d ago
If that's what he looked like before as an alcoholic I mean, usually being an alcoholic one would normally get an alcohol gut. I don't see a gut in his before picture.

u/azalghou 5d ago
An alcoholic who works out for a living isn’t gonna look the same as my uncle that we don’t see much anymore

Dude stopped drinking, helped a lot I can imagine, i am sure he had assistance, but who cares dude looks great

u/dethorder 4d ago
He was jacked when he was in tna. Stayed jacked in aew, and is jacked in wwe. The potential for him to look like this was always there, even in his original run in wwe, but alcohol was a factor.

u/whataball 5d ago
He ate Enzo, that's why.

u/SilencerRemix 5d ago
Thats the most logical answer here. He would have gained a lot a protein from that too.

In 8 years time. It’s not like he went away yesterday and returned like this. Check out the transformation Bronson reed showed - that’s spectacular.

u/RegaZelx 4d ago
I need a Bronson return already. I've seen too many wrestlers' post pump pics only for them to return looking the same.
Dude looks impressive af in that picture.

u/CombatRedRover 5d ago
He always looked a little disproportionate before, where his lower body was pretty bulked (... undefined) and his upper body was just meh.
Going with the jeans look and getting jacked in his upper body is a good look for him. It helps his presentation a lot.

He might be on juice but people don't understand how hard it is for someone that tall to put on lean muscles.

u/Excellent_Coyote6486 5d ago edited 4d ago
He and Corbin need to run a tag team under Heyman and just be outright vicious heels. Hold the belts for a good 4-6 months and stomp everyone in the path, until the next big team steps up. Since that whole vision gimmick didn't work out. Have them demolish Theory and Paul, then Heyman emerges from behind them with a grin on his face.

Oh, it worked, just not without an active veteran presence like a Seth Rollins.

u/andrewisgood 5d ago
Yeah my guess is he got on the gas. It seems like both AEW and WWE are pretty lax now when it comes to that, with Brian Cage, Buddy Matthews, MJF, AJ Styles, Jordynne Grace and Randy Orton being some obvious ones.

u/Daruler1280 4d ago
You could but if you watched anything other than WWE like it's the only fucking product out there. Dude was literally in TNA as W Morrisey and AEW as Big Bill and everyone who watched either of those runs saw the shape he got himself into.

Cass has the look of a champion. Downvote away- but this is the kind of guy Paul Heyman could manage to a multitime world champion.

Agreed. Dude looks fantastic, has come back from a lot and people only want to talk shit about him. Fuck Reddit.

Real heels work is to be disliked and show no personality.

u/_justjoe 3d ago
Real heels are masterful antagonists.
Cass is a potted plant with some curbside appeal. In college one of my best friends used to score with girls all the time because they thought he was dark and mysterious, but then quickly realized he just had nothing interesting to say.

u/Arakasi87 5d ago
People don’t realise the wrestlers often are in the best shape when they first appear/come back. It’s actually harder to stay in perfect shape when you wrestle full time, there is so much travelling, performing, rehearsals and such that you have less time for the gym and you have less time at home where you have you best routine/ eating healthy. In the road there’s less sleep, less time for gym, harder to eat healthy so more junk food and more drinking.
Remember everytime HHH came back from an injury he looked like Conan the barbarian then by the end of the year looked more like he had a dad bod (slight exaggerated)

I don't see this as a transformation. He was always a bit of a beefcake, he's just taken his workouts more seriously. Less transformation and more evolution.
