>>16398227Because everyone you listed drank the kool-aid that they can be wrestling stars too despite being small bc "Muh Bret & Shawn & ECW!"
They ignore that Bret & Shawn still regularly worked out, they weren't swole but they were expected to stay in presentable shape.
Tazz was short but he still was working out, ECW also had big men like Awesome & Bam Bam and even guys like Douglas & Candido kept in shape to sell their image
There is no expectation of looking the part or being in shape by Tony. In fact, he seems to actively avoid pushing guys who do. A roided manlet like Buddy would be a main event guy somewhere like TNA, NWA, or MLW.
Brian Cage could have been the modern version of Hulk Hogan but he fucked himself over too many times to be that. I think Tony is of the internet mark mindset that hate big dudes because they were a favorite of "The Enemy" therefore immediately rejected them as a fan
