So many of these backstage segments are gold, and are not on WWE RAW. It's ridiculous.
Yeah man, it helps build stories so much and are so simple. It really baffles me how they just do it for Teddy/Vickie to book matches mostly.

This'll sound condescending towards Bryan to bring up his size again, but it's true. His size works best for underdog baby faces to overcome their adversaries. You can bring up his technical skill and ability to utilize that and his quickness as best as possible to outsmart a larger opponent (which would be pretty much every body) but it's still the same principle.

It's like Rey Mysterio as a heel - wouldn't work the same (and didn't work, when he was one in WCW as part of The Filthy Animals.)

Ziggler is a heel and it's not like he is huge. DB would be and has been a great heel throughout his career.

I'm talking about height, not muscle size. Guys like Ziggler, Orton and Punk are all about the same size (actually, Ziggler might be the biggest of all of them.)

Benoit, Jericho, Malenko, Punk, Ziggler, all good heels and smaller guys. Orton has 5 inches on Ziggler, he isn't smaller.

Ziggler is 2 inches taller and weighs 3 pounds more than bryan.

He doesn't look it, which is what matters. Bryan looks closer to Mysterio or Malenko in size than he does to guys like Punk/Jericho/Punk/etc.

I don't mean to say Bryan would be a bad heel but he is definitely a more natural baby face.

Ziggler, Jericho and Benoit all look pretty small to me. Don't really see a huge difference between them and Bryan. Lol

Ahh watch ROH man, he was an AWESOME heel when he had the belt. I think he could do it in the "E" but I get it's just my opinion.
