Vince has always loved the big guys, but the early 90s steroid scandal and WCW finally dragged him kicking and screaming into not being so hard headed about smaller wrestlers, like Benoit, Guerrero, Jericho. He's still more apt to push a larger wrestler than a smaller one, but if they're talented enough and they kiss the right amount of ass, he'll push them.
I still like Mysterio, but injuries and the WWE's insistence on a certain style have neutralized him to a certain point.
Plus, as the saying goes, he got civilized once the big bucks come into play. Look at most wrestlers. When they're first starting out, they're doing all sorts of crazy things to get noticed. Once they're established, then they rely on the few things they do to get a reaction. Foley often said he got a bigger reaction out of pulling a sweatsock out of his pants than he did dropping elbows on concrete for 10 years.
