I hate when they just lump every wrestling fan together as if we are a hivemind. Not every fan likes the high flying moves, some call it flippy shit. Some don't like the big men slapping meat in the middle of the ring.
But anyone who watched WWE under Vince McMahon Jr. knows he has a type. And that type was huge muscular dudes. The supporting players weren't the supporting cast in the federation that was known as "The Land of the Giants."
I guess the lady was trying to give Sid the rub by saying he overcame deficits but Sid never lacked for crowd reactions or for a spot near the top of the card.
Even NWA territories had big guys often in major positions. With freakishly big guys who couldn't really work they would often build them up so they could challenge the champ and "steal a house" by getting a main event title match out of them before they got exposed.
And their top stars like Flair, Sting, etc weren't "big men" but weren't small. I don't think Dusty Rhodes was doing a lot of high flying moves.

Yep. Especially in the 80s the He-man type.
