All I'm really getting at is that anyone can end up at the top if they've got the right talent and the right moment.
But all this stuff about it being statistics that more big men have ended up as champion because more big guys have been on the roster overall, while true, is misleading because guys aren't pushed to the main event by Vince reaching into a bag of apples.

There is a long line of guys with potential to be in the MVP before Santino. They're not Batista big, but they're bigger than Santino, and they're young enough and just as skilled that I think it's another reason to factor in when considering whether or not Santino will make it to the main event or just be used as a stepping stone for other people.
