I guess Tamina is an improvement on Nia but Natty seems like enough of a downgrade from Shayna for this to be a push at best.

Wrestling should be a ‘No Giants’ zone, because you should only be allowed to have one.

This is actually a thing.

WWE has diminished the status/aura of giant physically imposing wrestlers by having so many of them. When everyone is a tall muscleman, you don't stand out as much if you are just a slightly taller slightly musclier man. Thus making everyone look average/mediocre.

Wheras if WWE had showcased more smaller/average sized wrestlers, (and they have a bunch of those with talent), then when an actual tall muscly man shows up, they look more imposing and more like a monster. Thus elevating everyone, the muscle monster, and the guy fighting him.

Wow, Bix. First K.Rool, then Steve and now SEPHIROTH? Your dream game is real!
Who IS the funniest and/or most surprising example of someone leaving WWE and it suddenly becoming apparent that he was a gigantic human? I feel like it's either the tall ex-cruiserweights (Hardys, Helms...) or someone like Shawn Spears who looked very average sized in his WWE runs but looks like a different species from a lot of the modern indie guys in AEW.

But everyone knew he was big from his work with the influx of smaller name guys circa 2000. It just wasn't apparent, even next to 5'7" Chris Benoit, that he was a legit 6'5" who would dwarf the vast majority of pro wrestlers.

I feel the same about Natalya that I do about AJ Lee. They were really good when WWE women's wrestling was in the dirt. They couldn't keep up today.

Surely this has to be Natalya and Tamina's 84th title opportunity. They must be winning this time.

When Nattie and Lacey were in the ring alone during the rumble Nattie made her look unbelievably green in comparison

Which I guess isn't saying much
