the theory about a wrestler not being able to shine in a squash match is really canceled as I suggest you watch TAKA vs Triple H or Funaki vs Triple H on Raw Sorry but TAKA and Funaki weren't large menacing heels... they were small Asian guys that could sell a beatdown. People don't respond to an unfamiliar heel who is twice the size of the guy who's squashing him, don't care how much talent the guy has.

I'm sure they did, and yet my point still stands... TAKA and Funaki aren't suppose to put up a fight against a guy twice their size, especially a top star like Triple H. It's unexpected, and they come off looking somewhat credible. Paul Burchill is getting beat within five minutes and he isn't a high flyer, and doesn't fit the role of an underdog... the audience doesn't care, and nobody "shines."

When did this turn to Burchill?

When it became obvious that people won't agree on anything regarding CM Punk, and that while he didn't conquer Al Qaeda to get to the World title he's still a likeable, over wrestler that is a breath of fresh air to the main event scene... BECAUSE he was given the opportunity to build credibility and familiarity with the audience by being a consistently booked midcarder.

I just youtubed it and while watching it I remembered why I thought Taka was going to be a major player in the WWE. Also, I checked out some of Funaki's stuff from Japan, holy God he's being misused.
