Size matters?

[FLIK]

It's funny, in the short time i've been training to wrestle the need to emphasise my size is one of the things my trainers have really tried to drill into my head. I'm 6'2 which isn't super big but on the indies that makes me taller then most so I get a lot of reminders not to "cheat my size", crouch too much, stand up straight, look agressive, stronger, etc...

 

I have never heard casual wrestling fans discuss the size of smaller guys in a negative way.

I have but more along the lines of build then height, took someone to an indy show once and they were disapointed no one was in WWE lvl shape.

You can have a smart / technical heel or a chicken shit heel vs. basically a Hogan. Don't see why that can't work.

It worked with Piper.

What about heel vs. face? I think it's relatively easy to have a small face. Much more difficult to have an undersized heel. It's easier to sell a threatening monster heel.

Not true, the larger face vs. smaller heel has been done extremely well (and easily) on numerous occasions including:

 

Roddy Piper vs. Hulk Hogan

Rick Rude vs. Ultimate Warrior

Ric Flair vs. Sting

Razor Ramon vs. Shawn Michaels

Mankind vs. The Undertaker

Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesnar

CM Punk vs. Samoa Joe

Any heel X-Division wrestler vs. Samoa Joe

Randy Orton vs. The Undertaker

Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe

CM Punk vs. The Undertaker

Daniel Bryan vs. Anybody prior to the "Yes!" phenomenon
