Barrett does have size on Ambrose. Ambrose isn't exactly the most dominant-looking superstar out there, although I guess with Daniel Bryan's and CM Punk's success, Vince is more willing to give the more "normal" looking people more chances.
Size doesn't matter anymore. I don't remember the last time a big guy got pushed on nothing but size. I guess Tensai if you want to count him, before his push flopped and they buried him, but I think that's more because Undertaker likes him, and they wanted to give him a reward for his prior years of work in WWE, just like they do with most veterans. Before that, you have to go all the way back to Khali and Vladimir Kozlov, but even at that, Kozlov was never going to be world champion, he was just getting the typical monster push to job out to the top guy, so it's kind of a moot point.
Barrett could be fucking 8 feet tall and it wouldn't matter. He's English, in Vince's world, that means he's a permanent midcarder who'll get no world titles.

??? Vince wont make Barrett World Champ b/c he's English? This term gets thrown around a lot, but this literally may be the dumbest thing I've ever read.
Of course, I'm not suprised. This is coming from a guy who hates Vince. He hates Vince even though he is the reason there is a WWE, meaning he is the reason there is a Wrestling Forum, meaning he is the reason that he can come on the internet and voice his opinions.

Then you need to fucking read a lot more because it's not dumb, it's the truth. The guy's ran the company for 30 fucking years and there hasn't been even ONE English world champion, even for a day, explain that. And it's not like England has never produced anyone good, hell, we got Regal and it still wasn't enough for him. If Barrett was from another country, he'd have gotten the same push that Sheamus and Del Rio did, and you know it. There's no reason to continuously take a shit on him like they do, everything about him screams top heel in the company.
And no, I don't hate Vince, I'm a fan of Vince as a performer, I'm even a fan of Vince's overall vision for the company, because I value entertainment over straight wrestling, but he does hold people down over trivial shit like certain prejudices he has, which is why we've also never had a black WWE Champion.

I agree with everything 100%. Inb4 someone mentions the Rock. He's half black.
