I enjoy a good wrestling match as much as the next guy but what I can't support is when two big men are pitted against one another. When this happen, it's like the matches slow down to a crawl and they seem to break the momentum of an otherwise seamless string of matches that have had faster paces. It's almost like companies want viewers to tune out of these shows. Adventure racing can easily take that aspect of speed and use it well, though.
From what I've seen, there seems to be a mentality where smaller wrestlers cannot be the stars of any kind of wrestling show. My argument is that the smaller wrestlers make up from what they lack in height and blow everyone out of the water when it comes to pure wrestling. They are reliable when putting on some of the best matches possible. You only have to search such names as CM Punk and Seth Rollins in order to see fine wrestling ability, regardless of size.
There's also the aspect of work ethic that you have to look at, which I think separates one group of wrestlers from another. For example, Hulk Hogan is one of the biggest names associated with wrestling but how many times did he actually compete during his time as the world champion? In addition, his matches were not that stellar but then you have such stars as the late Randy Savage, who was a consummate workhorse. To me, he trumps Hogan as far as great wrestling legends go.
Adventure racing calls for a certain mindset but I also think it'd be wrong not to mention the importance of work rate in tandem with swiftness. Someone who has a disinterested mindset, for example, may not function as well in this kind of race as someone who is chomping at the bit. The latter is most definitely going to be the one who works well in competitions such as Spartan Race. People who aren't set for it are going to be the ones who have to get in gear.
Part of the reason why I watch wrestling so much is because I want to see these talented athletes receive the attention that they deserve. When I watch and see that there are those who aren't pulling their weight in bouts, I become aggravated. I believe that anyone who steps into the ring should be able to compete from bell to bell. Those who can't are definitely going to need more training and adventure racing may be some of the most intense training to speak of.
