In today's era, yeah. Not of all time though.
Do you count Sheamus, Wade Barrett as big men?
I've been noticing Wade and Sheamus are significantly larger than most of the roster. With WWE's wrestlers being noticeably smaller they're towering over opponents.
Having Undertaker, Big Show and Kane closing in on retirement, without any giants to replace them.
It would leave the guys around 6'5" as the tallest on the roster.
Would you classify Wade and Sheamus as big men in wrestling?

A man who's 6'4 240lbs would be considered a 'big man' to anyone. But yeah wrestling-wise I think Sheamus and Wade are big men. I think today the demand for giants isn't as essential as it use to be the past where the majority of a wrestling roster would be big.
Isn't Barrett bigger than Sheamus? I think Sheamus is heavier but Barrett certainly looks taller then him. I could be wrong but to me Wade seems to tower of Sheamus.

Sheamus,Barrett,Swagger are all at least 6'5 which is fairly big.
But compared to guys like Taker,Kane it's not really big. But then again, the only guys comparable by size are ppl like Cottonwood,Khali and both of them suck.
And Tyson Kidds bodyguard is big too, but supposedly he's not that good?
If WWE can ever find a big man who can actually wrestle then they could very well end up being a top guy due to WWE lacking big men afterwards. But it'll only make the future feuds better because look at peoples reactions when Kane debuted and stood face to face with Taker. They were amazed cause they never really saw much(if any) guys who were the size of the undertaker. So a similar thing could happen in the future where seeing 7ft guys is a rare thing so when one debuts, he's not just another big man.

I don't think Sheamus is as tall as you think. I've never seen them back to back, but I'd bet Barrett has 3 inches on him. I'm not counting sheamus' hair. Also It might be sheamus' midget arms that make me think he's shorter than he is.

Not really. I mean make no mistake, they're big guys. But in the wrestling world we're just so used to seeing guys lurk around the 7ft mark.
They seem more along the size of the John Cena/Triple H "main eventer size".

Swagger, Sheamus, Barrett are 6'5 and about 250- 260lbs apiece. thats big. When you see these guys live its a different story. when i saw the Rock at Backlash vs. Austin many moons ago I could not get over how huge The Rock was. His legs were the size of tree trunks.

I believe their all billed at 6'6. Weather Swagger and Sheamus are that height or not Wade Barret is definitely 6'6 as it says on his arrest papers.

Sheamus is about 6'3 max. Not as tall as you think, only about 2 inches taller than Cena. Still though, 6'3 260 pounds what ever he is, is very big in real life. But I think his "6'6, 272 pound" character is meant to be a big man. And Barrett is a big man also.

Sheamus is really ripped, being alabaster makes him look gigantic on my screen. His booteeful Irish skin! He wrestles a power style and was booked as a monster heel when
he first came on the scene. That and he shelved HHH for like, 9 months kayfabe. He
can be a big man/monster heel.
Swagger, if he wasn't jobbing on Superstars
eek::lmao) , could be booked as a credible big man and power wrestler.
