If a fat guy can be a very very popular champ, how could it happen?

Yokozuna was Champion in a time when Vince and the WWF was still into big, muscular guys, coming off the heels of Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, etc.

Now, the only guy who's transcended his bodytype has been Mark Henry.

Mark Henry's body type helps his career. He might be a bit fat but he also falls into the big man/monster category. Same with Yokozuna. I think this thread is more about wrestlers that are fat but aren't considered "big men", like Samoa Joe and Husky Harris.
