In 2015, Kevin Owens made waves in the wrestling world when he captured the NXT championship title from former friend Sami Zayne and debuting in the WWE, winding up defeating John Cena. However, Owens isn’t new to the wrestling world at all. While wrestling on the Independent Circuit, Owens was known as Kevin Steen, and he looked considerably different than he does today. Owens was more muscular and much leaner than he is now. Owens doesn’t seem to mind the changes, however, as he has even made jokes about his weight and appearance in his promos and continues to work his way up the ranks against top WWE Superstars.

Yokozuna is one of those WWE wrestlers who was never in great shape to begin with. In fact, because his character was a sumo wrestler, the added pounds only added more credibility during his WWE career. His diet was rumored to include over 100 eggs and a full bucket of rice each day in order for him to keep up his sumo wrestler appearance. However, many fans began to notice that throughout the years, Yokozuna continued to gain weight, some even estimating that he was about 150 pounds more than what he had weighed when starting with the organization. His weight soon became a problem for the WWE and it also threatened his health. Sadly, in 2000, the wrestling great passed away from a heart attack.
