..but then the "little guy" actually has to win the title. That's my problem with the whole scenario. I don't think matches like Spike Dudley Vs. Austin, TAKA Vs. HHH or Jeff Hardy Vs. The Undertaker would've been nearly as good if the "little guy" actually went over.
Them just seeming like they can compete, I think, it good enough. It's the squash shit, like Triple H hitting the Pedigree to The Hurricane on the entrance ramp that makes shit look bad.
I think that people like the underdog but they like reality more. If they ever win, we, as fans, want it to remain an upset. We don't want Mysterio going into a match as the favorite. At least I don't. If you have the belt, you're the favorite. HTM taught us that.
He might now win the match but he's still the champion!
If someone small, like Rey, wins the title, it'll be looked at as an upset. People wouldn't buy into him being credible against people of all sizes. So, each of his defenses that he won would be upsets too. Suddenly, his wins aren't upsets anymore. I don't think I could rally behind that. I don't think a whole lot of other people could either. I can't believe that Mysterio could beat a heavyweight more than once. Once, sure. It was a fluke. The underdog won. Eventually, he has to lose though. Hotshotting the belt onto him just to get to that point doesn't seem worth it.
