I think it goes to the idea that these guys are supposed to seem super human. Thus the larger than life personas are easier to work and promote and are simply more recognizable to the average or occassional fan.

I'd say the occasional fan, such as those that joined breifly during the Attitude Era. It is easier for such fans to notice the bigger men since they don't fit in even if they are being low key. It would be impossible to miss the Big Show walking around the supermarket compared to a Kurt Angle or HBK. I actually met Angle after a show once in a resturaunt and nearly missed him. Since he wasn't wearing his ring attire, or had it covered, he looked like just another guy until I got up to leave and passed his table. I had to be a few feet away to notice who he was... that would not have happened if a 7ft man such as Khali or Show was sitting there.
