Do you think Vince McMahon has a man crush on big men?

Question

I believe he does, especially after the rumor that they are going to push Khali into the ECW World Title Match at Wrestlemania even though both RVD, CM Punk, and Sabu deserve the Title much more than both Lashley and Khali. They should definitely get rid of th Extreme in ECW because it's becoming offensive to us that watched it years before Vince wrecked it. It's becoming clear that Vince will push anybody tall (Khali), or steroided-up muscular guy (Roidtista), or anybody over 300 pounds (Umaga) over work horses like Chris Benoit, RVD, Edge, Chavo Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton, CM Punk, Shelton Benjamin, Charlie Haas, Jeff Hardy, and so on. Do you know the most ridiculous thing about all of this? It is that people like let's say Batista six years ago was a bouncer or Khali who was a cop and neither wrestled a day in their life (and they aren't the only ones like John Cena was a bodybuilder), but because Vince thinks that is what we want to see he pushes them to main events.

Vince seriously thinks that we only want big guys, who only know power moves and couldn't mat wrestle to save their lives, to hold the Titles, and in actuallity the only ones that want that are the ficle fans (mostly newbies) who think powerbombs, big muscles, and chokeslams are what makes pro wrestling great and they are dead wrong.

Even thoug pro wrestling is fake it is all about wresling, and that means having technical skills. The fact of the matter is all these power wrestlers come and go but the ones that stay are the technical wrestlers who know how to wrestle and have been wresling for almost all their lives. Those are wrestlers! The WWE is quickly becoming what the WCW was right before they went under and that is that they completely ignore there work horses and ring generals and go for the people who know how to milk a crowd, but the fact of the matter is that mostly every WCW fan will always list one of the technical matches or a cruiserweight matches as their favorite because those are wrestlers. If this keeps up Vince is going to lose all his good wrestlers like Benoit, Guerrero, the Hardy's, Orton, Mysterio, RVD, Sabu, all the ECW originals, Mr. Kennedy, Edge, and so on because they aren't getting treated well.

Don't get me wrong, there have been good wrestlers that are big guys. People like The Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, and even the Big Show are examples of good wrestlers. But the reason why they were good is because they continually try to advance their skills, they never just stick with certain moves and that is it, that is why they are different.

Answer 1

Right On!! I agree totally. I just can't believe that someone does not buy an indy organization and put it on the air on a nationwide cable network, there are so many of them and so much air time availible. It would waste WWE over time. WWE as a company is fat and bloated and is ripe for destuction.

Ringdogggg

Answer 2

I do agree that Vince may have a b*ner for the bigger gent, but you see best champs, rock, austin, shawn michaels, these in my eyes are not big men but they have been a corner stone of WWE, these are wrestlers which dragged WWE through the Monday night wars, Austin more significanlty than most.

But you have seen in the past, Big show, wtf, I hated the big show, he was big, congrats you were breast fed as a child, doesnt mean you are talented enough to be in the ring.
Khali is the same, these guys are too bulky for anyone to have a good match with, they dont move well and they CANNOT WRESTLE.
If Kahli gets a push i think sabu and rvd will smoke a spliff infront of Vince to show there frustration,
I cant see it myself, I would say test is more likely, also a big guy, but atleast he can climb a turn buckle.

Answer 3

I think he looks at what has worked in the past and thinks that it will work again. that is what consumed the 80's. The Era of the Hulkster brough on the big man. When you have a star that runs over everyone, you need a bigger guy that is a beleivable challenge to him. Once Hogan left it became a smaller guys game, with a few exceptions but they worked for the most part. - Sid, Undertaker, Vader.

I think he tries to capture the lighting in the bottle that he had hith Hogan. He got it in the Rock and Austin but they could talk and had way more personality than most. While people like scientific matches there is another group that watches to see huge guys beat the crap out of each other. I had someone tell me the other day that Goldberg was their favorite wrestler.

Vince is looking for a cash cow and big guys work for certain types of fans and they are the casual ones that raise ratings and raise profits.

Answer 4

*snort* Good point. I think he does, actually, there are so many great wrestlers in the WWE (you mentioned Edge, CM Punk, Shelton Benjamin, they're awesome performers) but Vince only pushes the ones with muscles on top of muscles that I don't even have. It's become rather annoying watching people's *coughBatistacough* muscles move in different directions from their bodies. Gross.

Answer 5

He does to it alot but some big men r cool like Taker. It is getting annoying w/ the others. I don't really like Batista or Lashley coz of huge they r

everyone knows vince like big guys and he mostly care about them and that is why the smackdown crusierweught division is failing.
