>>10556572>And yes, it is a factor, because charisma is way less relevant in matches than it is in promos and acting segmentsYou are an absolute fucking moron. Go watch Rock vs. Hogan (because I know you haven't) and try to tell me with a straight face that charisma "isn't relevant". You think a "great worker" like Lance Storm could ever get that kind of reaction? Even if he was put in the center of all your stupid Russo angles and booking that you vastly overestimate the importance of? No, he fucking couldn't, because he has the personality of a wet blanket.
By the way, you retarded zoomer faggot, this match had basically no buildup, no epic angles or storylines, there was a nothing, forgettable build where Rock and Austin feuded with Hogan, Nash and Hall for like a month leading up to Mania. It was just an excuse to have Hogan and The Rock have a match.
So according to your "logic", this match fell flat on its face, right? No one remembers it, right? It didn't have one of the hottest crowds and biggest reactions of all time, right?
Fucking idiot. Know your role and shut your mouth you fucking jabroni.
>more people would remember their matches You're a zoomer and watched clips of shit on Youtube. Everyone remembers Rock vs. Austin at X-7, Triple H vs. Cactus Jack, Rock vs. Hogan, Rock vs. Mankind, Austin vs. Bret, etc.
>>10556695Russo did not come up with the Rock and he did not come up with Stone Cold. Rocky Maivia and The Ringmaster were shit because it was stupid shit that Vince and the writers forced on them. Stone Cold and The Rock only happened after Dwayne and Steve had gained enough trust and clout that they had some level of control over their gimmicks and character.
What is with you Russo marks being so fucking delusional, not even Russo himself would try to take this much credit for shit. If Russo was so good, then explain his WCW run. Explain TNA.
