Although WWE cannot officially make it a rule for fear of a discrimination lawsuit, WWE talent relations has the opinion that new wrestlers must be 6 feet/225 lbs to have a chance in the company; the taller and heavier the better. Considering WWE's best workers tend to be right around that minimum, many worry that WWE is risking not hiring the Benoits and Angles of the future.
Ah well, TNA will be rubbing their hands at the cut-price stars soon to be on offer.

honestly... do we need to see anymore useless talent like the Nathan Jones' and Hiedenreich's.... god, why is Vince so preoccupied with size... its the benoits, benjamins, angles, jerichos, etc that make wrestling exciting
This sucks. That means we're going to be subjected to an endless slew of overgrown clumsy clods, with no agility, no mic skills, and no wrestling ability. No the Big Boot does not count as a "wrestling" move. Think of nothing but a sea of Snitskys, Kanes, Tests, and Takers, and Nashes. Yech! Unless they try to hire guys who can go, I think I'll be watching TNA a lot more.

Don't forget Batista and Heidenfaflkjj.;dreik!!!!!
What WWE fails to realize (and a majority of the Internet, it seems) is that variety is the best thing you can have. Its awesome that WWE currently has guys ranging in size from Spike Dudley to the Big Show, and everything in between. This way, you can have a wide variety of match-ups. You can have 2 cruiserweights go at it, two big bruisers, which can actually be a nice change of pace (I distinctly remember a really good Taker-Big Show match at No Way Out 2003, as well as the awesome Brock-Big Show and Brock-Taker matches), plus you can have good David vs. Goliath type-matches, like Rey vs. Show from last year. Then, of course, you can have your 5-star classics like Angle-Benoit
Just because somebody is big doesnt mean they're entertaining, but it doesnt mean they automatically suck either
