One of the biggest impressions I got over WM weekend while at the ROH and DragonGateUSA shows was the difference in size of the majority of those performers and those on the WWE roster.
It was apparently when Charlie Hass (who always looked smallish on WWE shows) and Shelton Benjamin (who seems about average size for WWE) were pretty much bigger than everybody on the ROH show except for the Kings of Wrestling.
And hardly anyone on the DGUSA show, aside from Brodie Lee, had any size. (Moxley was tall and could end up big if he ever goes to a gym.)
And then being at WrestleMania, it became obvious why that is: WWE plays in big arenas with the crowds much farther away. A guy like Daniel Bryan was almost impossible to see (and I wasn't in the upper deck), while Undertaker and Edge and other sizeable guys were much easier to watch.
So with many of the better workers in the world in the indies, is that where most of them will stay due to their stature?
