WWE is to blame for encouraging drug use though, aside from overworking the big shots if a wrestler isn't a flyer they'll never be given the biggest spotlight unless they get themselves to a size that isn't practical to maintain without drug use.  I don't know if they eased up on it in recent years but when I stopped watching sometime in mid 2000s it was constant hulks being pushed for the big events with a few flyers here and there, middle sized were few and far between.

That hobo guy who just became champ looks smaller, so maybe they're having a rethink.


Nah, lots of guys that aren't huge get the push.  It's more about microphone skills than anything.  Plus I look like a WWE wrestler and I've never used anything besides creatine and good ol' fashioned hard work.  Guys like Daniel Bryan, CM Punk, Bret Hart, and tons more have won the championship and other smaller guys get over with the crowd, too.  When The Rock first got main event status, he looked like this:

And then he got fatter!  Vince loves musclebound guys but the fans don't.  When those guys come out that look like Ultimate Warrior, they're often greeted withc chants of "You can't wrestle!"
