Yes Memphis but not the national scene.
The thing is the WWE is the company that is left and they trained the vast majority of fans that wrestlers are supposed to be ripped like body builders. Well now that the business is a bit different and they have smaller guys a lot of fans aren't accepting of it because if what they've always been taught.
10 years ago guys like Owens, Samoe Joe and Sami Zayn would have been laughed out of a WWE tryout and told to hit the gym. It goes to show you the huge dudes are fewer now and that Vince has less say than he once did.
It's also why guys like Reigns and Strowman have huge pushes they are the few guys that are big and ripped.
