The one thing No Mercy did have over Smackdown HCTP is that if you button bashed enough you COULD slam a guy like Rikishi. Which made it a little more realistic as far as trying harder to slam bigger guys.

I was thinking of a sorta "Weight Zones" deal, myself. something along the lines of what you're talking about.

Let's say you have 5 size categories (Arbitrary pick). 1 is the smallest, 5 is the largest. Size category 5 can pick up everyone no problem. Big Show really shouldn't have trouble lifting most people. Size category 4 is almost as good off. Has some trouble lifting a 5, with some chance of being unable to do so. Size category 3 can lift 4 as 4 can lift 5, but lifting 5 becomes a slim probability, and will probably not end up in favor of the littler guy. Anything below that, you're pissing in the wind.

Additionally, I'd have certain moves affect that. Cena's F-U really doesn't take as much strength as some of the chokeslams out there. Not that the move isn't impressive or cool, it's just that it's gonna be easier for someone to F-U the Big Show than to chokeslam 'em. I'd also like to see "shaky" animations for that. You're right. Angle Slamming Show shouldn't look like Angle Slamming Benoit, for example. It's hard to lift that fat an ass into the air.

I liked the fact that everyone had a shot on No Mercy, even the little guys, to pull something off. I just wish there were more options. Plus, CWs should really have more options to NOT try and lift people up. You really don't see Rey Mysterio trying to F-5 the Big Show that often anyways.
