All of whom were unique and exceptional talents not only by their in-ring skills but also larger than life personas.
Wrestling hasn't always been about "the big guy" you just have to look at the entire history of the business to appreciate that. But to an extent fans do enjoy watching "big guys" beat each other up whether in the wresting ring or in heavyweight boxing etc. Average Joes (and Josephines) like to admire people "better" than themselves. It's exciting and enthralling
