That's exactly the point I'm making - if you can't work then you won't last. Sure Vince gives the big guys a try but the fans aren't stupid. Khali is possibly the worst wrestler ever in the history of WWE but his size got him his chance. He's not that much bigger than Big Show but what a contract in styles, one can work, the other can't.

Similar issue with the Ultimate Warrior. Amazing physique, bags of charisma but he only knew about 5 moves and eventually he dropped the belt and they had no plans to put it on him again.

Being big will get you a chance but if you can't work (Luger, Warrior, Khali etc) then the fans will see through it and even though Vince marks out for the big guys, he's not stupid enough to give the fans a product they don't want. I'm not saying big equates to being a bad worker (Lesnar, Batista, Big Show, 'Taker, Kane etc etc) but having nothing other than size doesn't get you very far.
