10 WWE Questions You Most Want Answered (April 18)

2. WWE Worried About Pushing Smaller Guys?

From @Ryanmcg84: Does Daniel Bryan's injury problems explain why Vince McMahon favors the big athletic guys? Lots of "smaller" guys seem to get a major push only for their body to let down as they reach the top. Shawn Michaels was out for four years at his peak, Edge, Christian, CM Punk (had other issues but injuries were a big part) and now Bryan. What do you think?

If you're wondering, he took a pic of this on his phone and sent it. Can't fit all that in a tweet! It's a good question as well as something that WWE probably thinks about a lot. Injuries are lucky a lot of the time, though. Who's the most durable wrestler of the last 40 years? Ric Flair. Not a big guy. Chris Jericho is in his mid-40s, wrestled thousands of matches in the last 25 years and rarely got hurt. Bret Hart was pretty durable for much of his career until Goldberg ended it with a kick when he was in his 40s. You mentioned Christian's name. He's a guy that wrestled for about 15 years before ever suffering anything close to a major injury. He was durable. In his late 30s and early 40s he got so hurt that it has forced him to retire, but he was pretty durable. Edge retiring at age 37 was disappointing, but he was a bit bigger than those guys at least in terms of height. While it's true that a bigger guy might be more durable because they have a bigger body that can take more of a pounding, a lot of the better wrestlers are considered small and that should be considered important too. It's one of those things that people can debate about for a long time. The best way to look at it is to see every individual as a different case. Some guys can wrestle for 25 years without any major injuries. Others might be done in five years because of bad luck. You just never know. What's positive about the way WWE reacts to Bryan is that they are going to closely monitor him and hopefully give him a lighter schedule to he can get through this.
