Im not exactly looking for roid rage freaks like Ultimate Warrior or Batista or Scott Steiner, although they undeniably look like stars. I’m more rather looking for individuals built like Roman Reigns or John Cena. Not completely freakishly muscular, but still someone who looks like they could beat my ass. If not, I’m looking for people built like Jericho, HBK, Styles, Rhodes, Hart, smaller wrestlers by comparison who still look like they could hurt me badly. Edit: I should clarify for the people who aren’t smart enough to connect the dots; I’m referencing “freakishly muscular” as in being on the caliber of someone like Scott Steiner or Ultimate Warrior. Cena and Reigns despite having great and big builds, are nowhere near their level of body builds.

@@PrinceAliTheGreatest I don't really care about physical anesthetics either. The ideal main eventer is someone who is physically imposing and still able to work. Drew and Sheamus (in his prime, not that he's washed now lol) are probably the ideal physiques for a wrestler. I don't watch NWA at all, but they have a guy named Silas who is very charismatic and very big, but he doesn't have a body builder physique at all, but it doesn't matter. Then you have guys like Big Bill who are absolutely huge with great physiques, and still able to work, blows my mind that they aren't trying to do something with him, I get he's not the best promo put there but still.

In wrestling, diversity > raw size. This isn't 1980, where every wrestler in juiced out their minds and where promoters would intentionally hold anyone under 6' down. There is a reason why wrestling hit such a low point in the early 2010s and the mid-90s. Those eras were defined by companies always choosing raw size over ability and turned around as soon as they chose ability over size. If you asked a wrestling fan who would they rather have in any given match between The Great Khali or Rey Mysterio, 99/100 say Rey without hesitation.

for all those people who don't seem to understand why size matters in wrestling, I invite you to think who'd you rather face in an alleyway, with no prior knowledge of them and no weapons or tricks: Adam Cole (BAYBAY) or Brock Lesnar? size won't necessarily determine who can wrestle better, and there's also the individual charisma of the person, but it affects presentation, it can help build the "aura" around the performer, it makes them stand out, not only from the ethereal notion of "average person" but also from the VIEWER's own experience. again, just because someone's small, doesn't mean they can't wrestle, it's just easier to see a wall of muscle as a threat

I’d argue the reason they are called “All Petite” is not because they don’t have big guys, they’ve had guys like Luchasaurus and Lance Archer since the beginning, the real reason behind the name is that they tend to push the smaller guys more often. Just compare all WWE world champions in the last five years to all of AEW’s world champions. The only two WWE champions under 6ft was BIG E who was still muscular enough to get his namesake and Kofi too, I don’t have any excuse for him, he is small. AEW on the other hand you could argue only has had one world champion over 6ft tall and that was Jon Moxley(Maybe 3 if you believe CM Punk and Hangman are 6ft, personally I don’t but they’re close). I am more of a fan of hoss wrestlers than small technicians but then if a wrestler is compelling enough to be a main eventer height shouldn’t matter that much.

But also in terms of realism, a big athletic guy would definitely have an advantage in wrestling like in all combat sports from wrestling to boxing to judo, weight classes exist for this reason. So having just small guys dominate is unrealistic and also pathetic and when you were born in the 90s the hero's were Arnie and sly, big show ,kane, under taker . And the smaller guys didn't really dominate they were flyweight it was more medium build like the rock, triple h, cactus jack etc who would compete with the monsters. Farooq, jbl, taz, the list of big realistically tough looking dudes is endless. The small guys who got any limelight were the ones with epic personalities and gimmicks look at Scott too hottie, crash and Holly, spike dudley. Wonder what the avg size of the 2000 royal rumble is. Now it's just effeminate trash and agenda gimmicks. Sonny kiss being the perfect example , orange cassidy. Cheesy small skinny . I'm avg dude 6ft 200lbs I'd beat them up easily

There hasn't been an AEW world champion that was tall and jacked, either. MJF and Omega are pretty built, but they're not that tall, while Joe is tall, but fat. Wardlow is tall and jacked, and AEW had a great opportunity to make him a world champion. Now, he's just a big brute lackey for a small, skinny guy.

Before I watched (and it ended up being closer than I thought it would be), I was thinking that Billy Gunn towers over a lot of AEW talent in a way that he never did WWE talent when he was with the fed. But even so, I don't much care about wrestlers' sizes. There are exceptions, like when I look at John Silver of the Dark Order I think "This guy's jacked but it's hard to ignore how SHORT he is!" But if they're around the same height as Bryan Danielson and if they can put on a good show in the ring, that's good enough for me.

While I don’t think height or weight is the most important thing, believability in how tough or nimble or powerful they are. Being noticeably in shape and how strong your offenses is are big factors in that. Bryan Danielson, Finn Balor, Will Ossprey and Chad Gable are all slightly smaller male wrestlers (height and weight wise) who are very very believable in any match up.

I don't think the issue is the guys being smaller, the issue is what they look like. 99% of the time when WWE Superstars comes back, they look like they been locked in a gym the entire time and have something to prove. When AEW wrestlers come back, they look like they haven't seen sunlight since they left and look in much worse shape. Not every superstar needs to look like Hulk Hogan's opponents, but they should have the decency to look good for their size. They're supposed to be the #2 promotion.

Daniel Bryanson always makes me laugh because I heard the guy insist his height is 5 ft 8, yet wrestling companies always wants to claim the guy to be 5 ft 10. Probably because he'll expose the inflated height wrestlers around his height range. Yet on the other end they still have Adam Page who actually looks the 6 footer he's listed as (apparent 6 ft 2 Fragile Phil being no taller than him kind of says it all) and Jake Hager who actually is 6 ft 5 (his MMA height listing) and clearly taller than the other apparently in his height range.

I am going to agree with what many have said - it isn't the height and weight, it's the look. HBK, Bret Hart and Austin weren't massively huge but were always in good shape - no one thought HBK looked overly small compared to HHH back in the day. In AEW, too many just look small - yeah lots are in great shape but there is no mass to them, you need a little mass to fit the look especially if you want to push them as top in the divisions but not have a cruiserweight division.

I dont think wrestlers need to be 6'5 + looking juiced to the gills. But they should at least look like athletes and somewhat imposing. Perfect example is Rey, hes 5'6 and what like 175 pounds. Hes always been in shape and had some muscle to him due to his size hes an underdog but he looks like an athlete so you can buy into him. When I was watching AEW a lot of their roster are short and "skinny fat" look like random guy off the street who hasn't trained in any martial art in their lives. A lot of the roster I would think "I would kick his ass in a real fight". Im 6'1 have average cardio used to train Kyokushin and BJJ years ago and will roll maybe once every 3-5 months and have no delusion of being a badass.

I definitely wasn't surprised by Edge's height. Years ago, I believe right after The Brood broke up, he did a signing at this little wrestling store that used to be in the mall. Me and my friend didn't get an autograph, but we were at the mall when he was leaving. When he first left the store, he was walking right at me, and I was in shock at how big he was. I knew he wasn't small but for some reason I always saw him as one of the smaller wrestlers in WWE (remember, this was the late 90, early 2000s). And I wasn't expecting him to be much taller than me and my friend, at 5'11"

The weights sounded all wrong to me. In some cases they just seemed to write down random numbers without caring whether or not those numbers would make sense. Hights also seemed to be inflated quite a lot, but they were being more consistant with that inflation, so the guys claiming to be taller were actually taller. But the weights were all over the place IMO.

Looks like AEW guys are billing themselves shorter than they need to. If in WWF they look like a lot of them would be an inch or two taller. You have guys who are clearly much smaller than others but they are all billed at 6 foot. Some of the ones who are billed smaller look taller than the AEW guys over 6 foot. I think with the indie roots they didn't care about the importance of setting impressive heights.
