This pretty much sums up the point I've been trying to make since this recent "average guy push" in the WWE. Hell, I tried to make it 10 years ago when people actually thought putting the title on Benoit at a milestone WrestleMania was a great idea. The homeless looking, barely 200 lb "regular guy" workrate heroes have a place in wrestling. They're useful. They should be nothing more than supporting characters though. Wrestling is at it's best when it features larger than life characters. Without that, it's basically a fake UFC. A bunch of regular looking guys fighting except it's scripted.

The last thing WWE should be trying to do is be more like ROH.
