I would pay to see Bàlor and Rollins over Ambrose and Ziggler any day of the week.

Is Rollins really that much physically bigger than Balor?

The trend in physiques in wrestling over the last 4 decades speaks for itself here This is truth! Mr Perfect looked normal size in the 80s 90s WWF wrestling next to Hogan, BimBoss Man Undertaker....in reality he was a big man. Now people of his size i.e. Roman Reigns look big because the size of wrestlers has gone down. Look at Big Cass his tall, but compared to Kane, undertaker Nash and Hall he looks like a a bean pole.

Also Reigns looked huge against Balor on Monday night.

Daniel Bryan ring a bell? I think Finn Balor or Shinsuke Nakamura will Main Event WM33 and they both are not considered big guys by any strech of the imagination. Finn is 199lbs and Shinsuke is 229lbs. I think this just gives inspiration to not just Finn but a performer like him to strive to Main Event the show that much more. It's not a matter of if The Demon will Main Event Wrestlemania, it's when.

Rubbish Balor will main event Mania and Rollins already has. How many Mania's has Ric Flair main evented? I know they haven't technically closed the show, but WM8 and WM24 are Main Event caliber matches in my book.

Also Reigns looked huge against Balor on Monday night. This is true. They played it up with him chucking Balor across the ring too. If you think about it though...5'11" 190 against 6'3" 265...that is a pretty good size difference.

I don't agree with anything Ric said, he's definitely showing his age with what he thinks is better for money. The better match and the one fans are anticipating most is Rollins vs Balor. Why? Because they're both phenomenal in the ring, both super over and it's a fresh match we haven't seen. Sure Dean vs Ziggler will be a good match, but do I care for seeing it at this point? No not at all, purely because of how mediocre they've booked dolph in the last 18 months.
Also, Balor is quite small, put him next to Rollins and he's going to be dwarfed just like he was against Reigns on RAW.
Not that size means as much these days thank God. Finn is in phenomenal shape and I'm glad were moving away from the big guy stereotypes.

We should be well over the notion of size being the only factor. Exactly what I've been saying since Seth's pics leaked.

Isn't Rollins technically a cruiserweight? In WWE the cruiserweight "policy" is 220 and below you will be classified as one. So Rollins, Zayn, Balor, Ziggler, and Styles are all cruiserweights. Ambrose, Miz, and Ryder all just make the cut off and are only a few pounds above Are they going with the WCW limit of 225 or the CWC limit of 205?

gotta disagree on which match i want to see more. cant wait for the rollins vs balor match. should be the main event of summerslam. and we have probably already seen ambrose vs ziggler before. and no offense to him, as ziggler is very good in the ring, but i dont think ziggler has a chance in hell of winning. not that i am saying balor has a great shot either but i see more doubt on that side.

Ric flair is nothing but a drunk , the real question should be why is his "daughter" allowed to wrestle womenlol wut?

Yeah for a guy they call "the big dog" and "the juggernaut" he'd have been very, very ordinary sized in the 80s, 90s, probably even most of the 00s.

I'm as big of a Flair fan as there is, but he is a constantly drunk old timer. When they say stuff like that you just kind of smile and nod your head and move on.

Ric Flair just shows how out of touch he is with the business. This is also ironic coming from him considering he was a flabby smaller guy in the time when big larger than life characters ruled the business.

Depends on who the cruiser weight is. Matt Hardy was once a CW champion. I think Ric might've had one too many cocktails

Jesus really? I thought he would be way bigger I wouldn't even give him 190. I'd say closer to 175-180. They bill them to be heavier than they actually are.

I think I was a little surprised. I mean, Balor is extremely talented. But, I think WWE is doing the right thing in going with the hot hand right now. Reigns just needs to turn heel. People loved the guy when he was with the Shield and he didn't speak. But ever since that began to turn around, he's had what....1 night in Philly where they actually chanted you deserve it and that was it?
