That is only because A.J. Styles sucks. It would have been better if you said Ultimo Dragon or Jerry Lynn or any cruiserweight they have that is worth a damn that isn't Rey Mysterio Jr.
Also, it isn't baffling why Vince, who changed the industery with ppv and going global and all that other crap hasn't gotten away from his big man fetish. It is simple really. When Vince started, it was his bread and butter. So when he booked wrestlemainia at first, he kept the core of it what he knew best, "big men = ratings." When Vince took over all the regional territories, again, he kept the core what he knew best, "big men = ratings." So while he tested new waters, he relied on big men, so it is hardwired into him now. "Big men ratings."
Plus, it isn't like he hasn't started to get away from that. I mean Jericho, Micheals, Bret Hart, Angle, Beniot, and Eddie Guerrero aren't that big and they all became champions.
Then again, when 3 best selling wrestlers are 6'3"+ 250 lbs+, you start looking for size as part of the package.
