I'm of the belief that pro-wrestlers need to look larger than life and somewhat intimidating so that the crowd will think that although it's all a show, maybe it's not a good idea to annoy the bad guy too much *just in case*.
So when I see a poster like the one below it really gets on my nerves. Skinny teenagers do not look intimidating. If I was a betting man I'd put a tenner on none of them being safe and properly trained workers. Wearing sunglasses indoors does not make you look 'cool' unless you're The Rock (and they aren't). And Lord alone knows what sort of impression they're making on parents with the kid in red at the front who looks like he should be doing that in private (check his left arm).
Seriously this sort of rubbish is killing the industry.

Oh dear god.
Aside from the fact that as you say, most of these guys look about as intimidating as the local group of teenagers hanging round the bus station, that poster is probably one of the worst production wise I have ever seen.
What was it made in, Paint?
