Yes. That and lifts, but tons of guys are under 6 ft now. They've always been around though and getting over in varying capacities.

Yes. As long as a wrestler doesn't look like a blob or a stick figure they can look believable

Yes, Adam Cole for example would be a top draw if he got a clue and jacked up.

Yeah but you have to be jacked and heavy, gargano/ciampa got shredded but still lacked a lot of believability

Eh. Depends.
Gargano is buff but he’s got no charisma to carry himself.
Guys like Buddy Murphy and Cage are ripped but they don’t get anything else besides buff angry dudes.

To be honest if you’re in aew and you’re using steroids, Tony will punish you and make you job to skinny twinks or scrawny dudes like Adam Cole.

If you're like 5'6" then you need to learn how to flip. I know anti-smarks hate flippy midgets but the only thing worse than a midget who flips is a midget who wrestles "technical" and tries to do powerbombs like a big guy.
>>14541149 for example.

Flair, Austin, Michaels, Roman... Most of the GOATs were around 6ft and not much taller. Taking everything into consideration, 6ft is the dimes height. Being taller certainly helps in getting over as a crutch, but it eventually becomes a liability. You are less agile in the ring, you get hurt more easily, you cannot play the underdog babyface. Height is important but charisma will always trump everything else.

If you're a borderline manlet, sure, bulk can save you. But if you're a full on manlet? Hell no.

Jerry Blackwell was like 5’2” and 300 pounds and he was a huge star in the awa.
Looks are important but there’s more than one way to look.
I think a short guy who’s jacked could get over. They would just need to play the underdog against anyone who isn’t young bucks skinny fat. Frankly we have enough flippers, an underdog babyface that fights back with unrelenting strength and power would get over very easily in today’s environment.

Yes, physical charisma is more important than height. This also explains the point other anons already brought up, i.e. Gargano still looking like a geek even though he's in great shape.

Afraid not. If your height starts with 5, might as well kill yourself. At least if you're 4 foot you can be a yummy wummy flippy fag, but you'll never make it with the 6ft and higher dime drawers.
