Dude, size will always be a thing in wrestling.
In Hollywood, they pick Supermans and Batmans based on whether it's believable that they'll be able kick people's asses, why would wrestling, which is actually simulated violence take whether you could credibly whoop somebody's ass into account.
I was too. I know you think I'm arguing with you, but we're just having fun on here, homie. You're cool with me.
I hope the 9ers fall out of 7th, though
I feel you, but there's a difference between a little guy who looks like they can fight (Benoit) and a little guy who looks like they avoid excercise at all costs (Jungle Boy).I remember as a kid, I thought these guys was bigger than the world.
Then a few decades ago. One time I had a cuz from the Military have a layover at the airport.
So I went to hang with him till his flight.
Coincidentally Smackdown was in town and I saw a bunch of guys at the airport.
I was SHOCKED at how many of these guys was smaller than me.
From that moment….. I just never cared. As long as they can go in the ring. That’s all I care about. NJPW recalibrated me in not caring too much about promo’s
I don’t even now per say what Ichii or Ibushi “characters” are….. but when the bell rings they have my attention till the next bell
I feel you, but there's a difference between a little guy who looks like they can fight (Benoit) and a little guy who looks like they avoid excercise at all costs (Jungle Boy).
Like I said earlier, presentation is important.
She beat Diamanté Dynamite and she’s legit.
I think at this point it’s safe to say the only jobbers in AEW are the unsigned folks…. It used to be that way in the old NWA, WCW, and WWF
And that’s how it should be.

I know the other part wasn’t for me but just chiming in on all fairness.
I think at some point we gotta recalibrate things through the current era. Like I hear that a lot about ratings. But it’s like ratings are down across the board everywhere when people continue to compare them to shyt from 1999. We never gonna see numbers like how it was back then again, so the current scale is the range
As far as Hollywood goes, a lot of guys are short, Tom Cruise and Stallone are 2 examples. There is too much nuance to use that as an example for wrestling… also UFC and Boxing been destroyed that stigma
I’m sorry no one thinks Robert Pattinson is a bad ass that can whoop ass, but people do wanna see Batman
I’d rather have a locker room of the so called 10th graders that actually can put on entertaining matches than a bunch of Heidenriech and Great Khali’s.
No one wants to admit it but only an handful of big guys can actually deliver entertaining matches
And punch, kick, clothesline, body slam, flex, simple suplex get stale a lot quicker than Flippy shyt
If size is really that important than fukk it steroids needs to be brought back and TSC (coli and non coli) gotta stop shaming folks that take them and encourage
Sidebar…… I’ve seen Zab Juda in person before. At the CIAA in a club in Raleigh years ago. Na breh
I’ve also seen Roy Jones jr when he visited A&T, he was way smaller than I expected
Meanwhile in boxing the biggest draw and #1 p4p was a welterweight in Floyd Mayweather right behind him was Pacman, currently Canelo is the biggest draw in boxing #1p4p and he jumps around from 160-175, the lightweight division is what the boxing fandom is looking forward to the most at the moment, in mma Mcgregor, Khabib, Diaz all great ppv draws none of them heavyweight.
These dudes talk all that shyt about Vince and ended up becoming middle aged versions of him
Ya could go watch a bodybuilding show if your into it that much.
What kind of logic is this?
Michael Keaton doesn't intimidate anyone. For god's sake, he did a movie titled Mr. Mom.
Brandon Routh looks like he'd throw slaps instead of fists in a fight.
No one who played Batman/Superman are hosses or even look intimidating. Affleck is the only one coming close to being a size guy. Grown men obsessed over other men's size are weirdos.
Wrasslin is about suspending belief, so it's funny when dummies say little guy would never take out big guy. And it's fukkin stupid when anyone can get KO'd no matter how big or small they are.
Ok, size queen, do your thing. Enjoy a Wrasslin match for men’s sizes.Dude, come on, nobody gives a fukk about Diamante
They got Riho beating just about anybody and Layla loses to just about anybody with a name.
And yes, Cruise and Stallone are short, so was Mike Tyson and Joe Frazier.
You wanna compare their physiques to fukkin' Jungle Boy and The Young Bucks?
What do you mean entertaining matches?
The Undertaker, Hulk Hogan, & Scott Hall are some of the most entertaining wrestlers of all-time.
I'd rather watch a Scott Hall match then some random ass White dude flipping around for no reason
And who's saying people need to be roided up.
Was Bret Hart roided up?
Dummy, Floyd & Manny are not fighting guys who are 300lbs.
In boxing there are weight classes to keep guys from fighting guys way bigger than them.
In wrestling everybody's fighting everybody, so you're expecting me to believe Lance Archer is gonna lose to fukking Jungle Boy in a real fight?
Michael Keaton bulked up to play "Batman". He didn't go out there looking like a scrawny teenager
Brandon Routh is fukking 6'3" and jacked
Ben Affleck is 6'4"
Routh & Affleck would be two of the biggest dudes on AEW's roster
And yes, wrestling is about suspending belief, which is why the people who play the parts should make it easier for you to suspend disbelief by being believable, genius
Ok, size queen, do your thing. Enjoy a Wrasslin match for men’s sizes.
