Yeah, that was my biggest criticism. In their Progress match they told a much more boiled down version of the story.

Are any of these matches against someone significantly larger than he is?

No. The only matches I can think of like that would be against Keith Lee (PWG - 9/2/2017 and Evolve - 12/9/2017). I thought both were pretty solid. Walter - in my eyes - pulled a little more of the weight in the Evolve match. It was not one of my favorite Lee performances but still turned out good.

He's had a few matches with Chris Hero which I remember being pretty good (03/07/2010 WXW, 12/05/2014 WXW, 05/30/2016 PROGRESS)

yeah... those Hero matches are real good, but are worked a little more even in terms of size/style. I mean Walter is a big dude so he is never really Ricky Morton, but he downplayed his size against Lee because... well... it was Keith Lee and that dude is massive. Still. He doesn't have any matches I know of where he truly works as a much smaller guy

I watched one of the Riddle matches from Progress and I was curious, mostly because Walter isn't really as big as I expected. Obviously he's a huge normal human being, but I kind of thought he was going to be closer in size to Vader than he is.

Watched the Darby Allin match and thought it was excellent. Walter looked awesome and all the hand work was really well done.

I call Walter "Indie Big". Even Kieth Lee isn't as big as I expected in person. Now power wise they could rip me half, but I am 6'1 and 180 and Walter didn't seem THAT big to me in person. But he works big. I would say he works a little different against Riddle because he is such a legit badass and athlete (and is bigger than people think). He works bigger against guys like Dragunov and Starr and Devlin. But yea, Walter isn't Vader.
