In the world of professional wrestling, Mason Rook has addressed whether he could eventually transform his physique as his WWE NXT career continues to develop.
During an appearance on Busted Open Radio, Rook was asked about potentially changing his look in a similar fashion to wrestlers such as Bronson Reed, who has undergone a significant physical transformation during his WWE career.
Rook acknowledged that his size and distinctive appearance played an pivotal role in getting him noticed by WWE, although he moreover recognizes that getting through the door is only part of the challenge.
“So I think it is all individual, specific to the person. Nevertheless, obviously, my size and my look and my uniqueness is what got me to the dance. On the flip side now I’m at the dance. I don’t know if that is going to be enough to keep me at the dance.
While Rook is open to losing some weight, he additionally thinks maintaining the qualities that make him visually distinctive will remain an important part of his presentation.
Of course, you know, I see superstars who arrived in NXT a certain way, or WWE, I should say. But again, everyone is different. They arrived here, and then they’ve had a transition period. Would I like to say I’d like to lose a few pounds, while of course, you know, I’m not in denial about that. But again, my uniqueness and my style is what got me here, and I’d like to think it’s what’s going to keep me here, too.”
Rather than attempting to follow another in-ring talent’s transformation directly, Rook views any potential changes as something that needs to make sense for him individually as he continues establishing himself in NXT.
