* The theme music of Wrestling/BobbyRoode left such a strong impact, that it completely overshadowed him during his WWE main roster run (and made him debut there in an ill-fated face role). Fans chanted to the theme, then stopped caring as soon as it faded.

** It actually gets worse if said giant actually suffers from acromegalia or other diseases like that (such as Giant Gonzales and Wrestling/AndreTheGiant). Since their bodies kept growing even after they reached uncomfortably big frames, they started having problems moving, and especially in André's case, his condition left him in escruciating pain during the last years of his life. Both André and Gonzales died way before getting to 50 years of age. The only reason Wrestling/TheBigShow hasn't suffered the same fate as André and Gonzales is because he had surgery as a teenager to halt the condition, and as such has outlived both André and Gonzales (he turned 50 in February 2022, while they passed away at 46 and 44 respectively) and maintained far better health in his 40s than the others.

* Wrestling/StacyKeibler's very long and very voluptuous legs were great for spin kicks...but they also made her a perfect target for the [[Wrestling/ChrisJericho Walls of Jericho]], as she learned to her chagrin after competing alongside Wrestling/{{Test}} in a tag team match against Jericho and Wrestling/{{Christian}}.
* Wrestling/TheUndertaker, apparently, can't be killed permanently. Sounds awesome, aside from the usual WhoWantsToLiveForever bit...aside from the fact that it also means he's been BuriedAlive at least three times and one assumes he had to eventually dig himself out.
* [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson Daniel Bryan]] won the Money in the Bank, then couldn't win a match to save his life. Fortunately he got better.
** Same trend happened with Wrestling/DolphZiggler.
* The industry's preference for intimidating stature is a boon for TheGiant, but they labor under the SquareCubeLaw and have to either settle for unconvincing and contrived fights or train doubly hard to reach the level of fitness they need to throw their weight around.
* [[Wrestling/UltimateWarrior The Ultimate Warrior]] had the best body steroids could make, and his chemical imbalances made his promos incredible (in all senses of the term). But it was at the cost of his stamina: making his explosive entrances running to the ring would drain him, leading to sluggish in-ring work.
