Vince Russo was recently a guest on the X-pac 1,2,360 podcast. During the interview, he spoke on a wide variety of topics about his career in the wrestling business. One of the most interesting parts was when he spoke about Kevin Owens.

Russo says that if he was currently working for WWE as a writer, he would be using Kevin Owens’ weight as a part of his storyline.
Here is what he said:
“Everything I’ve said about Kevin Owens, the guy doesn’t like to workout, maybe he’s a little lazy. I’m just saying that, but my point is bro, the guy visually being a little bit overweight, if I were writing for him that would be part of the character and part of the gimmick and then it would work for him”
He also is confused as to why WWE doesn’t address his weight:
“But the fact that it’s not addressed, it’s not part of the gimmick, it’s never discussed. That’s where ask a writer the disconnect comes for me. If they [WWE] looked at Kevin Owens and they worked his look into his character, in my opinion bro, it would be a thousand times better and I would have no issue with it. But when they call a guy like that a Prize Fighter, and he looks the way he does, that’s where the disconnect is for me.”
