Carrying a little extra timber clearly doesn't preclude you from becoming a main event star in today's WWE, and you only need look as far as Kevin Owens or Samoa Joe, neither of whom would look out of place wearing one of the world titles.

Despite his size though, Rikishi had nowhere near the same level of intensity or physicality inside the ring (in fact, his finishing move was rubbing his backside in the face of an opponent in the corner of the ring).

Having cool dance moves will only get you so far in today's WWE, and without being able to double up as an all-conquering monster - one who wears pants that actually fit - it's unlikely that Rikishi would have reached the main roster.
