Why are modern wrestlers so much smaller than previous generations?

Big guys aren't interested and they bury big men/make them look like goofs. Other sports have no shortage (heh) of hosses.

The truth is they never gained size or the agility those guys did. Besides getting coked out and boozed up they could work out for 30 mins cause the alcohol in the system busted up the roid stuff. Easy money, I love that era of wcw vs wwf

Bad business if you have actual talent or something going for you besides ""work rate""
If you're a tough fucker and you like fighting you do combat sports
If you're 7' you do basketball
If you're 6'8'' and 300+ pounds you do football

Darby is one of the few based manlets. He sells like a 5"8` guys should and bumps harder than anyone else. Short guys are meant to be underdog monster babyfaces, not heel leaders. Like, I love Roddy's in ring, but him and Adam aren't believable as serious leaders. Tony better put the strap on lil nigga and push him to the moon before he physically cannot do this shit anymore. I don't care if he's not a self mark like MJF. You've gotta force Darby into the top guy role and get him i to some real feuds if you want to make money.

Because they're a minority and barely into wrestling anyway. So all you have left is all geeks fat and pitiful.

He's a charisma vacuum. Others who could've been solid midcarders like Lars Sullivan completely self destructed. The business is cursed

because most big men would rather do actual sports while the current generation of wrestlers grew up on bret & shawn who weren't big men.

Wrestling fans became the wrestlers.
They don't scout ex footballers and bodybuilders any more. They hire indie fed Mark wrestling cosplayers.

Realistically Darby has about 2 years left before he starts falling apart. After Sting retires he's gotta be in the mix with Hook.
