10 Reasons Why The McMahons Should Sell WWE Right Now

5. There Isn't A Wrestler Who Is 6'5" And 275 Pounds That Will Be A Huge Star For The 2020s

Pictured is new Wyatt Family member Braun Strowman. Given that he's choked out Chris Jericho, has yet to be knocked off his feet and is rumored to be wrestling The Undertaker at some point, he's a guy getting a superstar push in WWE. Though all of the bells and whistles are there via WWE's traditional way of presenting massive humans intended to be massive stars, there's a problem. He isn't a superstar. However, you know who is a superstar? Under six foot tall and under 200 pound Neville, six foot tall and 250 pounder Kevin Owens, lean, mean and ripped Cesaro, Dean Ambrose and many more who aren't quite as physically impressive as Braun Strowman. The McMahon family are very keen on a presentation of pro wrestling that's completely antiquated for this era and actually not getting over at-present with the WWE Universe. At some point, someone from the outside (with a large enough cash flow for the McMahons to take notice) needs to suggest to the McMahons staying around, but maybe letting someone who can present a product that may in fact feature smaller and/or more athletic wrestlers to step forward.
