Instead of signing bigger guys who will need a few years training and, may turn out to suck, why don't WWE just use the bigger guys they've got or ones they dropped the ball with? Actually push Drew McIntyre and Wade Barrett, resign Mike Knox and Luke Gallows (who are missed opportunities), make Tensai credible again, give Titus O'Neil a push and give Brodus a run as a monster face. There we have it, a number of big guy wrestlers who are actually good in the ring, all who have good mic skills and no need to waste time training them. McIntyre isn't that big, Barrett really looks smaller than he is if he's really 6'7. You're right about Knox and Gallows. Tensai just flopped though.

So did Jesse White not have any ideas or did creative not like the ideas he had? Can't have it both ways. I think they should've kept Jesse White/Jake Carter around even as just a generic character. He was big enough to believably do power moves, but not too big that he could still play a plucky underdog face and with the speed and athleticism to just bum rush the hell out of guys. I would've liked to see him wrestle against Jack Swagger, Roman Reigns or Alex Riley. Like Big Zeke says, two dudes going hard.

This is always the general opinion on here yet Taker consistently has great matches that have not been affected by his age or supposed injuries. Taker has one match a year these days, so I'd hardly discount his age or injuries. Anyone can get a match in for what Taker gets paid for Wrestlemania. Taker/Lesnar could be the WWE equivalent of Creed/Drago Who's gonna be in his corner to not throw the damn towel?

You throw McIntyre in a ROH ring, he's gonna look like Big Show compared to half the roster.

Oh I agree, just bringing up a point that McIntyre, in the grand scheme of things, actually is a pretty big dude. In WWE land, his size doesn't stand out.
