It was a metaphor, Theddy. There's no intent to mislead, it's strictly pointing out statistics. Vince can push any talented guy he wants of any size.

I'm not saying Santino WILL make it. I'm saying he COULD. He clearly has the connection with the fans and can work the room, which is a step above most guys, let alone most guys with his tenure and win/loss ratio. Of course his size is a setback, but presuming that he'll never make it on that lone factor is where I throw a flag.
