AEW announcer and Senior Advisor “Good Ole’ J.R.” Jim Ross took to an episode of his “Grilling Jr” podcast to talk about a number of topics including how AEW TNT Champion Christian Cage’s size and look didn’t do him any favors in WWE.
Ross said, “His size [and] look didn’t do him any favors at certain points in his career.” “I know that my belief is that [Vince] McMahon did not push him more because he didn’t like Christian’s look. It didn’t sell. It wasn’t the ‘wow factor.’”
“He wasn’t the guy, except for his hair, that could walk through an airport and be noticed. He fit in. Edge, being 6’4, stood out. So, yeah. Size had a big issue there, at times. He’s passed it now, thank God for AEW. That’s why he’s one of the best heels in the friggin’ business.”
