10 Lightest WWE PPV Main Events Ever

A true anomaly in this list. The past six years in particular have seen a chance in the general size of a WWE main event performer, and whilst more often than not muscles abound things have certainly changed. The days of being catapulted to the main event simply because you are tall and hench are long gone.

This main event took place some 10 years ago, and clearly showcases the two extremes of WWE main event performers. Rey Mysterio had just completed his hike to the top of the mountain, and the first man to step up and challenge him for the World Heavyweight Championship was the man he would retire just three years later, John 'Bradshaw' Layfield.

Rey Mysterio is the lightest world champion in WWE history by some way at 175lbs, and the main event matches he competed would predictably take up many spots in this list. That would be if he had appeared in more than two main events of course.

JBL was billed at a barely believable 290lbs, giving this match a grand total of 465lbs.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
