#1. Don't Attribute His Physique To Lack Of Work Ethic

Kevin Owens will be the first to tell you what he has so often heard from critics. He doesn't look like a professional wrestler. He doesn't possess a 6'8" frame like Hulk Hogan, nor does he have the chiseled physique of John Cena or The Rock. Instead Owens rocks what many might describe as a "dad-bod", but his critics get it wrong when they assume his physique says something about his work ethic.

Owens attributes his physique to genetics,

"I've just never been a guy who was cut and skinny. Even when I was younger, when I was 11, people thought I was 7 or 8, I was pudgy back then and it's not because I don't try. This is just who I am."

The WWE Superstar is often called fat and while the comments don't necessarily bother him, they do upset his young son. Owens insists; however, that his frame runs in the family.

Owens opened up about his physique,

"It's really just my stomach. I carry a lot of weight in my stomach, but everything else, I'm not fat. My grandfather had a huge gut his whole life and I'm talking huge. My dad is 150 pounds, but as soon as he eats something it blows up here [in the stomach]. That's just how our genetics are."

The RAW Superstar was at his biggest in 2010 when he weighed nearly 300 pounds. Owens doesn't deny being out of shape then and lost 40 pounds, but still had a stomach.

He adds,

"There were times when I was working out like crazy. My arms were good. My shoulders were good, but I still had a gut."

For years, Owens has been told that his look works against him, but the near constant critique only motivates him. Owens' critics motivate him to work harder in the ring where he consistently proves that one should not judge a book by its cover.
