There has been some concern from fans after fans noticed how much weight Val Venis has lost in the last several months. However, according to the former WWE Intercontinental Champion, he lost the weight for a reason.

He said, “When I was wrestling in WWE, I was lifting very heavy all the time and doing cardio and eating super clean. After professional wrestling, after shoulder surgery, I kind of got away from that a little bit. I had other goals and other things I wanted to pursue.”

Venis said he did get up to 275 pounds at one point because he started lifting but he had a goal to run a marathon before the age of 50 so he decided to lose weight and his goal is to get to 210 pounds. After the marathon, he plans on adding some weight.

He added, “Being 49 years and getting to run a marathon is a big reason why I want to come down to 210. Running at 260 or 270 and doing a marathon is not a smart idea at all. Hence the reason I’m trying to get down to 210.”

So, there’s nothing to worry about. According to Venis, he is doing fine.
