Kevin Eck is a former member of the WWE creative team and now blogs about pro wrestling for PressBox.
When Lio Rush interrupted Elias' promo on "Raw" Sept. 17, Elias acted as if he didn't know who Rush was and mocked his youthful look and diminutive size.
"Whose kid is this?" Elias asked rhetorically. " … I'll get security out here and have them take you up to Lost and Found until your parents retrieve you."
The crowd laughed. Rush chuckled as well, because jokes about his height are nothing he hasn't heard before. The exchange with Elias was scripted, of course, but Rush -- who is billed as being 5-foot-6 and 160 pounds -- has been told numerous times in real life that he's too small to make it big in pro wrestling.
