00:06 they had contrasting fortunes.

00:08 And we may have the reason why.

00:11 Jim Ross believes that look and size

00:13 were behind WWE's decision to never push Christian Cage

00:16 as a top guy during the veteran's time with the promotion.

00:19 The legendary announcer said as much

00:21 during the latest episode of his grilling JR podcast.

00:25 Ross stated that the aforementioned factors

00:27 didn't do Christian any favors,

00:28 adding that in Vince McMahon's eyes,

00:30 Christian lacked the wow factor

00:32 possessed by his real life best friend, Adam Edge Copeland,

00:35 whom WWE pushed heavily.
