I think it's true that you have to be better than great, at least in Vince's eyes, to be a world champion if you're small.

Some of it is true in terms of getting over, but in a lot of ways it's dogmatic and has become overemphazized by Vince.

It's no suprise that the only guys to win the WWE title that weren't big or above average size, were Jericho HBK and Eddie. And even they are bigger than people think. Eddie was quite short, but Jericho and HBK were around 6 feet. That's pretty average. The "small" Shawn Michaels was 6'1".

Also, as much as I like him, don't bring Nash up in the same sentence as selling seats. Sure I hate Hogan and Warrior and love Nash, but to include him with them in your examples is unfair to their drawing ability and his lack thereof
