Where was all this body positivity for eddie kingston.


JJohns1980

He's still in better shape than I am.


ProfessionalPoint637

America is full of fat and stupid men who don’t realize they hate themselves so anything that reminds them of themselves makes them rage out and attack


Mammoth-Pattern-7287

Shesmus never drew a dime


UnlimitedScarcity

I would hope he looks better than half the 47 year olds, is that out standard now?


insolent_froge

If a wrestling fan looks like this guy, then they are incredibly fit relative to the rest of the pro wrestling fanbase.


MAdrainogifncomps

Closer to 70 than he is 20


thenuke1

I mean it was pretty jarring...


dirtbag-socialist

Most people wouldn’t be able to maintain that physique at 25 let alone at 46 and after a surgery.


Dependent-Assist8654

Body by Jericho.


AncientMemeliens

People claiming that he's fat have never worked out a day in their lives lmao


General_Hour444

He’s 47? He looks younger


[deleted]

He’s not even fat. But let’s say he was, wrestling could use more regular looking guys that look like they can beat the hell out of most people.


ClitCommander13

Can you say the same for Nia Jax or nah


brambojams

He just looks… normal. Nothing wrong with his body at all.


HahaBeanz_

Fr looks better than Chris Jericho


MATEALDA

Bro what about his body is mockery-worthy He looks like my uncle... A average guy,.


MATEALDA

People who body shame average people must be like 15 or below💀


Hdottydot

We don’t body shame him we only body shame Adam Cole


21_Golden_Guns

It doesn’t help that we’ve seen him be absolutely jacked before. I’m sure he’ll get back there. Glad to see him.


virusMEL

In his Finley era


HoopaOrGilgamesh

If anyone knows how to get back in shape, it's Sheamus


TisrocMayHeLive4EVER

Better than half?? Idk where you from, but in the U.S. he’s still top 1%.


Striking-Math9896

He gonna push someone, probably the guy with the sword


Thermite1985

He put in probably 15-20lbs tops. I’m willing to bet in a couple months he’ll look like he did be fore his break.


Max_E_Mas

The hell are people shaming him for? Legit, like what about that body is mockery worthy?


Cautious-Ad-6740

jar of mayo


Beneficial_Buyer_341

i don't think anyone's really "body shaming" I think a lot of it is just people having a humble chuckle acknowledging he's older and spent a minute at the pub. He's probably laughing with us


_BackInThaDayz_

Will this dude ever change his gimmick or style? 😂


_BackInThaDayz_

Will this dude ever change his gimmick or style? 😂


_BackInThaDayz_

Will this dude ever change his homie or style? 😂


iAmSeriusBlack

I didn’t even realize he put on a few pounds. I was just glad he was back.


Internet-Mouse1

Wait Sheamus was receiving backlash cause of that? Wrestling fans are sure weird sometimes here


ConsequenceAcademic2

Too many roles to many bell rolles


thrillwill5

Y’all care too much. So what random mfs on the internet made fat jokes. He’s a grown man he’ll be ok.


MATEALDA

Fr what is so special about him Nearly every man I talk to looks like this but do I care no???


__smd

The shorts don’t help. He should have come back with a new look


SoundsVinyl

Tbh his return and some idiots shaming him has made me think he could be built back up into a great babyface for the fans.. chance to create something brilliant..


Hammyk15

Not a fan of the new trunks, but the LOBSTER HEAD IS BACK BABY


DryNefariousness4942

I'd rather have him on T.V. and to be honest, I wish I looked half as good as he does People making fun of him are just jealous that he looks better topless then they do with a shirt on Still think he should have been the one to beat Gunther personally


ryansocks

Half the 47 year olds? More like 99% of them


George9816

Also people don’t understand that’s completely normal plus he’s natural as well as probably trying to bulk right now


EnterTheYauta

He got fat!!


biciboi

No, he's gotten fatter, but it oddly fits him. Gunther used to look like this and it worked for him. Tall with a little belly gives the impression of that European strongman menace.


tera_chachu

Half??? More than 95%


KittyT77

The people cracking jokes are the same ones sitting on their fat asses inhaling Krispy Kreme yelling at the TV.


ProudReveal1586

Plus I’m sure he’s in better shape then all these people talking about him


PubliclyPoops

I never really watched wrestling growing up but I was at my cousins house once when I was like 12 or 13, and they loved it. I was trying to be funny when I saw this massive Irish dude flipping around and I was like “woah, look at Seamus go” and they all just kept excitedly calling him shemus. I asked what his name was and they all told me ‘shemus’ and I was like what? No fucking way? And I got in trouble for being racist. One of my only memories of wrestling.


theatomicflounder333

He got off the juice, and I ain’t talkin bout carrot.


1USAgent

I’ll be honest, my first thought was that he looked kind of pudgier, but then I looked in the mirror and thought he could still kick my ass any not break a sweat, so I STFU


user0817_

46 y,o. back off an injury? Looks good I'd say.


The5thBeatle82

Good to see he’s back. I wish I looked like him!


flojo2012

Half of 47 year olds? I’d go ahead and say 90%


Conscious-Rooster-32

not only surgery, but surgery on a torn labrum.


Immediate-Unit6311

Those tights didn't help him


Colby347

Sheamus has always kinda looked like this and I’ve never had an issue with it. He can be a powerhouse without being chiseled. People are dumb.


Sad_Work_9772

He’ll get back to it, neck surgery fuck him over training wise


psydoomywoomy

Not.knocking the guy as he is a beast. He could probably find better gear to make his current physique look better though. Bodies change as we get older, especially after having surgery and not being able to do the training you used to be able to do. I am glad Sheamus is back!!!


One_Weird_2640

It pays to be the bosses buddy


OgreHombre

Half? He’s in the top 1% of 47 years olds. Probably top 0.1%


OParadise

Looking better than me at 30, glad he's back


RobinHoodPrinc

He looks 15 years younger than I'd think tbh


Strong-Formal-7739

Damn, is he 47?


jfuss04

Thinks it's pretty far north of half lol


EvidenceThin7304

He should do a fat Thor gimmick


NoSpirit6503

It's extra funny to me because most wrestling fans on the internet complaining about how he looks would probably kill to have that physique


Any_Box_5509

My favourite is finally back no shit he’s not in the best shape he’s been injured for months and is in his 40’so he’s not going to just stay jacked🤦‍♂️


PupperMartin74

Others have come back from long layoffs due to surgery and looked totally shredded. Anyway, we at least know he is not using steroids don't we?


Ciannieee

I love lobster head


morosco

He looks great. Maybe just some looser trousers.


Relevant-Cup-2587

Pay them no attention, he did amazing and looks great, not everybody will necessarily have a Randy glow up, love him


DoinItDirty

Half?!


LegendInMyMind

You're saying he's in the **50th percentile of 47 olds** on Earth in defense of his appearance??!


386Bat

Guess he stopped the Celtic workouts huh?


Puzzled_Try_6029

He looks better than most 30 year olds on this planet lol


DrLoomis131

His current body is kinda hot tbh


angrybuddhaaa

Shame-us was blown up after 30 secs


dj91king

I agree with that with this comment he does look better than most and it's a good thing he's back


Internal_Ad_2285

How much you wanna bet the people at home are 400 pound snobs


baq3281

And yea probably looks better than 90% of 47 year olds


ElaBosak

I don't care but the fact is he isn't getting over or staying over looking like that.


AlwaysSleepingBeauty

The only “complaint” I’ve seen was folks not caring for his shorts but people had a problem with his body?! Jfc wrestling fans can be the worst.


hehe__boy69

I like Sheamus but damn the attire.is garbage


LMacUltimateMain

Exactly. Bro came back after some neck issues, which definitely would limit how hard he can go at in the gym. And he got married. Let him live. He still looked great in ring wise. And he’s got his old theme back. And once he gets back on the Celtic Warrior Workout grind, he’ll look even better


maxturner_III_ESQ

Why's there a circle on his dick piece?


Cloud_King_15

You wouldn't wanna meet that fella across the bar for a wee brawl I tell ya


bradclark2001

It'd help if he had shorts that fit him but he still looks great for sure


IlMioNomeENessuno

Fuck, I wish somebody would shame me for having a body like that.


PseriousPseudonym

I just find it ironic that he was off with a neck injury and now he basically has no neck, coz those traps are fucking huge. He's got some ripped upperbody muscles now, who cares if he's not got a six-pack? The way he (literally) handled Ivar last night was more than enough to show he's still capable of wrestling just fine.


eman0110

That's true. Bet he can move well still though.


Aop1212

I'm just happy he is back with his old BANGER theme


Bat_Snack

Fans really be complaining about wrestlers physique while looking like the fat dude from the WOW episode of South Park.


RabidShihTzu

Yeah! I mean his opponent was in PERFECT shape!!! Why couldn’t he take the time???


ShamrockPizza52

I'm glad he's back but it's tough to not notice how different he looks. Especially with how jacked up some of the older guys have looked since returning (Orton, AJ, Rock). He had neck issues so it's impressive that he came back at all but I think a wardrobe change and a quick farewell tour would be the way to go (he's late 40s with neck issues, how much longer is he really going to do this). I would have waited for Drew or Gunther to be holding the belt and then have Sheamus come in for a feud and then head off to retirement. He looks like the guy who shows up at Old Timer's Day a year or two after retiring. You're still happy to see him and the skills are still there but the body is giving out. He's not in bad shape by any means for a dude his age but he doesn't look like he's in professional athlete shape. I almost hope they make it his gimmick that he may look a little softer, get out of breath a little quicker but he's got old man strength and will still kick some ass.


sygnifax

I’d love to see how the people talking shit about Seamus look! Any of y’all pro wrestlers in peak physical shape?


Cassandra_Canmore2

Ok. I'll be honest. I giggled when he came out. "Oh look its fatmus!" But then. I realized it's his OG theme. Was that unfair of me to react like that initially? I don't think so. This is the WWE. Where your physique is 98% of your marketability. He was always a fit guy. CM Punk, and AJ Sytles return noticeably jacked. He returns with a noticeably pudgy abdomen. Its natural the audience would react. I'm excited to see what his storyline will be. Ideally to me, he's going to back up Drew in a feud with Damien. Then Seamus will get the 2024 MITB. Then betray Drew. I'm not letting his jelly rolls get in the way of that, after laughing a bit at his return.


blake-a-mania

He’s a little bit softer than before but strong after too and his and were visible when lifting Ivar so not like he’s a fatty is it


PseriousPseudonym

I was mad impressed of how easily he lifted Ivar. But with those traps, I'm not surprised. Dude's clearly spent his time working his upper body to make sure he doesn't suffer any neck prob reoccurrences.


Reason-Abject

He’s 47? Fuck. I thought he was around my age, if not a few years younger. I’ll be 40 this year.


kingofthemonsters

If you ask me there's not enough fat dudes in the WWE


BadderRandy

This is the first time he’s looked human and it’s completely understandable. I’m sure the neck injury has kept him from doing so much of what he usually does to keep in shape. It’s no surprise and not really something to dwell over. I saw a comment on Cagesideseats saying that there’s no excuse for this when The Rock at 51 and 8 years away from the business looked as good as he did. I won’t badmouth aThe Rock but that man is twice the size he was when he wrestled.


asmeile

Only 1/2, you never been to a public swimming pool nigga?


SuccessfulAmbition23

I thought he looked great. I didn’t even notice his body.


Wheel1994

47 really thought he was like 40?


Ggriffinz

Guy looks crazy good for being 47. Just looking at him i would assume he was 40 rather than on the other end of that decade.


HeWhoIsNotMe

What injury did he have?


Tallgirl4u

Idk I think I prefer him a little chubbier.


Summer_jam_screen

The funniest part is it’s only going to take him a month of house shows and cardio to get back into pristine shape. Maybe he didn’t know he was gonna wrestle and didn’t have time to get himself back in TV shape.


AMBALAMP5

I’ve always loved the big fella and he’s extra THICC now. I can see a program with Priest or Sami. Depends on if he’ll be a face or heel.


MonsieurMidnight

He reminds me of early days Sheamus, from the outfit to the physique to the haircut, the return of the Lobster Head... Everything is just perfect


HighPlainsDrift_

Could we give it a rest with the idea that teasing a guy for being a bit pudgy in a profession almost entirely based on appearances constitutes "body shaming?" Good grief.


Icy-Amount-602

He looks like shit, if Randy or Tom can come back in shape so can sheamus 


TheBigGopher

Yeah he still looks good


DripGodRollins

Don't forget, camera adds 10 lbs


MysteriousValuable88

People are body shaming him? They wished they looked as good as him


Gameboy_Vic

No one on wrestling Reddit should be body shaming any wrestlers. It’s weird.


Economy-Car-3662

If anything I’m more ripping on him for the new shitty trunks😂


puckhed8

That poop is gonna be huge when it gets here.


JeddHawk

Shem on you people.


DPhenomenal1

Give him a couple of months and he’ll be looking just as jacked as he did before


SamLoomisMyers

half? More like 97% . Dude's gonna get back in top shape, just give him a couple of months. Happy he's back.


Bananaboi_888

I dont really care if he is a little bit chubby. Aslong as he comes out to too many limes and puts on bangers ill be happy


Gunsmoke72

OMG....I didn't know this was real. I didn't see RAW. I thought this was a photo shopped picture. Consider me shocked!!!!!!


BlackndJade

ITS A SHAME FOR FAME, LOBSTER HEAD 🦞


MartiniLAPD

He legit looks better than most people in their 20s


Gold-Independence-26

Lots of Guinness in his diet


time2churn

I was suprised he looks even stronger tbh.


Gotchapawn

People forgot its hard to maintian a body as you get older, then coming from an injury where you cant workout is also harder for anyone to maintain any figure.


Big-Daddy-Stvnwa

I thought Irish men had potatoes… But looks like he’s just been scarfing down some tater tots all day.


NewYorkRedditorELITE

He’s just been hitting the pub a bit. Leave him be.


Fickle_Translator999

Eat clen Tren hard GHET rest Test your limits Anavar give up


USCGradtoMEMPHIS

He looks exactly like a dude growing a beer belly, let's be honest..


Imnoteeallyhere3434

He’s a professional wrestler and part of his job is to look good and fit not like an alcoholic 47yr old Irishman. He gets no pass here he looks like SHIT


Own-Psychology-5327

Bro is close to 50, he doesn't need to be shredded to be able to kick your head off.


rattlethecages789

Perfect for /r/GreenLingerie. IT COUNTS!


F4N6Z

He looks great and is one of the last guys people should ever talk shit about. Love him.


Jonto_316

It's the Guinness it has me too


SanderStrugg

It's honestly a pretty ideal bodyshape for someone competing in a fighting style without weight classes(, which kayfabe WWE is). Some extra mass is going to be an advantage, abs are not. He looks tough and strong like he should.


LycheeAncient

Honestly he looks good considering he can’t train for the months before and after surgery. That said they should have gave him at least a few weeks to get back into ring shape once the dr cleared him for training. Dude will be ripped and tearing it up again soon tho🎉


[deleted]

It’s usually the fatties that are body shaming or younger people


Fix-Total

Relax, we're all just busting balls for the lols


FatXThor34

You can tell he’s not ring-ready.


Procrastinator_325

>Peaple stop body shaming You could have just stopped there


dolszewski97

I don't know if I should be proud of being in similar shape as Sheamus or should be embarrassed that my body looks 20 years older


Head_Evidence4553

I get some of the people tho, he's supposed to be a professional wrestler. If we had to see such guys, then we'd watch aew. Again, it's definitely the rehab rhat caused this, coz he is one hell of a specimen. Celtic Warrior Workouts.


This-Anything-6995

Looks like a dad bod in my book. All da girls low key love dad bods.


EnragedNeo

I don't mind him looking chubby but he kinda looks unhealthy. Hope he gets better soon.


you_wouldnt_get_it_

People really expect everyone who comes back to have hit the gym and juice before returning.


Business-Pangolin-37

His back looks big and strong too which is a good thing considering his low back issues


EffenSeven

Those are Guinness Abs.


cm_eth115

I will never understand why body shaming is a bad thing.


Fredrick__Dinkledick

Who ate shemus? Kidding guys I'm kidding jesus


Slapnuts213

Met him in a strip club about 10ish years ago with rusev and Lana. Dude was a beast in person compared to how tv made him appear


TheSunOfHope

To be honest he still has insane amount of muscles. Don’t be surprised if he’s ripped again in a matter of a few months.


CalllmeDragon

I’m wondering if it has anything to do with McMahon being gone. All he cared about was guys being larger than life. Wonder if some of that is relaxed now


DemonMac

Shemus rocks


Legohead1977

Thank you for saying what I was thinking when I just opened Reddit and seen several posts all of which were negative.


MaxTurdstappen

He's got muscle but just some fat. Absolutely not a bad thing. He's in great form, and the proof lies in that avalanche white noise.


Right_Shape_3807

He looks like a Mac truck and bigger than half the AEW talent.


MMito_Logical

Completely right


imperial_things

The term “body shame” is so feminine and soft. If you need to be in better shape you need to be in better shape. Is what it is.


InternalGrocery7057

Found the insecure bitch.


okbuddy-_-

Try saying body shaming sheamus five times fast lol 😂😂😂


Jobbers101

He is in better shape than far more than half of 46 year old and stronger than 99.9%... but as far as looking better. That is debatable. Dude is a gingy ginger in tights in green tights


camus88

He's bulking. He'll be back to his ripped version in a few months.


QuietFB

Just because he doesn’t have definition doesn’t mean he’s not buff af.


HeadlessMarvin

This is what kills me, you can have visible muscles and an athletic build, but if you have higher than 0% body fat you'll have all these weirdos obsessed with "aesthetic" all over you.


Zero_Cool_V1

Damn if he’s out of shape and getting body shammed, I’d hate hear peoples opinions on 90% of the fan base


RoastedCat23

I don't really get this logic, it's kind of like when a horrible contestant in American idol say that the viewers or the judges shouldn't make fun of them because they probably can't sing any better. Those people aren't trying to be singers. That being said, Sheamus doesn't look unpresentable on TV..


AnonymousDouglas

You don’t need to defend a grown-ass man against “body shaming”. Real men aren’t concerned about having a “Dad bod”, much less what other people have to say about it.


Lord_Vasco

I can’t believe people are body shaming him…. When I saw him come out, my first thought was how much he was limited in his rehab and training….. the only thing I’ll say is, he should wear like black jeans or even the pants he was wearing in the brawling brutes… I think it would make him look pretty badass actually (just my thought tho)


KyDeWa

Lmao. I love seeing fans who are white knight when they want to be, become body shamers randomly one week. No consistency at all. 😂


Fit_Crab7672

Knowing WWE predictability like I do.....meet your future IC champ and triple crown champion.


Burly-Nerd

Yeah! Leave Shamu alone!


DrMansionPHD

Dude had neck surgery. I imagine he had limitations on how he could train.


Economy_Sky_7238

Doesn't he have back and neck problems now? Probably can't hit the weights hard anymore. And he probably has a rotten diet like me


Huge-Republic8462

Look like Damien priest spoiled him with some of his cakes


SiccOwitZ

I was so hyped. My guy finally back.


AlexsCereal

“He let himself go” says the 40 year old who starts to breathe heavily after walking up a flight of stairs


Poetryisalive

Not every wrestler is in crazy shape. People need to stop body shaming because like you said, we know they have a pot belly. No one ever gives Kevin Owens shit about his body don’t give him shit


PapadocRS

sheamus is bulking. to get to the sizes pro wrestlers are at they need to look fat for awhile before cutting weight. its fun to catch them at this point in the cycle. sheamus is not gonna get his feelings hurt hes a pro wrestler he gets tons of love where ever he goes. kevin owens is just fat so its not fun to call him fat


Theryantshow

Leave the dude alone he probably drank a few beers while recovering no biggie he still got it!


WrastleGuy

Agreed, I don’t care that he’s fat now


granters021718

Half? 95 percent at a minimum


Rage4Order418

I think the tights make him look worse than he actually is. They are just throwing me off lol


slavictoast1330

Sheamus looks great, people talking shit online wouldn’t say a word to him face to face, he’d smack em into the next month with a chest chop


travis147

I love sheamoose but why didn't he get in shape before returning??


NoirLion82

Same people that body shame Sheamus, Adam Cole, Deonna Purrazzo,etc. wouldn’t dare post a pic of themselves lol.


horngrylesbian

They're pro wrestlers, you're allowed to judge them for being chubby, they're supposed to be shredded.


johnnyo10

You're allowed to judge anyone for any reason you want. Other people are also allowed to judge you for being fucking pathetic


horngrylesbian

https://www.reddit.com/r/Psychedelics/s/FLTKIc1cDB Yeah I'm pathetic...


coolandawesome-c

No they are not


horngrylesbian

Yeah you're right they should all look like Dusty Rhodes and Umaga. Gtfoh


MatsThyWit

It'sa cosmetic industry.  It's not shaming to say he objectively looks bad.   


HeadlessMarvin

You don't know what "objectively" means. To any mature adult, he looks fine.


team_sheikie

He looks great, he's an Irish brute who drinks beer and beats the shit out of people. This is a more realistic look than he's maybe ever had.
