It's why there's plenty of small high-flyers that won't get over but a Rey Mysterio who is. It's all about the right package and the right presentation, and I don't think being "big" is that important. Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels and Steve Austin and Ric Flair wouldn't be any more successful if they were 6'5", and big guys with nothing are the same as small guys without nothing - just another guy.

No one could get over as Oz.
As far are your Ric Flair and Steve Austin references, they are both 240+ that isn't small by any means. I wasn't arguing that you have to be 6'6"+ 295lbs+ to get over. I was arguing you have to be 6'2"+ 240lbs+ to get over, and then the larger you get from there the less natural talent you need to get over.
