That sounds unwatchable.
Plodding around the ring for an hour? No thanks.

People seem to forget that big guys are the founders of wrestling. Hogan, Andre, Warrior, King Kong Bundy etc, they made wrestling what it is today so for people to suddenly hate big guys is wrong. Larger than life wrestlers have a huge presence about them and I love the super human feel that they bring to the ring. Because Vince spent a good number of years hiring and pushing guys solely based on size without regard to talent while some pretty damn good workers got passed over for being "too small". Vader could argue with that.

It makes no sense that they crap on the big guys even if they're good in the mic and the ring, but worship guys that can work a match but have no character or charisma at all. Exactly the roster is full of average size guys who are good wrestlers but can't draw a dime due to the lack of character. People who hate big guys must have also hated the likes of Andre and Vader.

I'm a fan of Michael Elgin, but isn't this why they made that Andre the Giant trophy?? Having big guys strike hard works in NJPW- so I'm not saying WWE won't steal the idea- but I really have no desire to see it in WWE because a lot of their "big guys" lack, um... What is it called... In ring skills.

I'd be cool with a heavyweight tournament, of sorts, of guys from around the world like with what they did with the CWC. Not sure where you draw the line, maybe 250ish? But yeah, I could get behind something like this if it was done correctly.
Chris Hero, Hanson, Willie Mack, Elgin, Mil Muertes, Damo, Moose, maybe get Samoa Joe and a repackaged Luke Harper in there as well. It could be a really cool thing to do. Obviously Vader needs to be in it.

I think big guys is too vague. 6'6 and over or something maybe Itd help kill the stereotype that big wrestlers suck.

Having big guys strike hard works in NJPW- so I'm not saying WWE won't steal the idea- but I really have no desire to see it in WWE because a lot of their "big guys" lack, um... What is it called... In ring skills. Not even close. The Andre Battle Royal is not "just for big guys"; it's "you deserve a Mania payday but we don't have room on the card to put you in a features match. And it really doesn't matter how good "their" big guys are because much like the CWC, it's probably going to be a lot of unsigned talents. I'd be cool with a heavyweight tournament, of sorts, of guys from around the world like with what they did with the CWC. Not sure where you draw the line, maybe 250ish? But yeah, I could get behind something like this if it was done correctly. Chris Hero, Hanson, Willie Mack, Elgin, Mil Muertes, Damo, Moose, maybe get Samoa Joe and a repackaged Luke Harper in there as well. It could be a really cool thing to do. Obviously Vader needs to be in it. I think Samoa Joe might be "too good" for something like this, at least in WWE's eyes. They could put Baron Corbin, Apollo Crews and Jack Swagger in the tournament in terms of "guys who are already on the roster". If Hanson is involved, I don't see why they couldn't get Ray Rowe as well. Another good guy to bring in would be Jeff Cobb and imo he should win the whole thing. Hell, bring back Alex Riley and let him basically be the Brian Kendrick "this is my last chance to make something of myself sob story" guy of the tournament

YES! WE NEED MORE BIG BOYS WE NEED JEFF COBB, MICHAEL ELGIN, DAN MASTIFF, BLUE MEANIE, VADER, MILL MUERTES, MATANZA, ABYSS, CHRIS HERO (HE'S FAT), BULL DEMPSEY, TORU YANO, and course how could we forget I'M A MACHINNEEEEEEEE!!! I would 5hit myself to see Cobb on WWE programming. I know he had a WWE tryout in 2014. He's not that tall either, but such a powerhouse for his size.
