I'm pretty sure he went back and forth being a face as the people's champ once the corporation stable took off, HHH joined and left DX (heh), he needed to maintain being a threat to steve austin, probably a dozen other reasons I'm forgetting but the point is it's story reasons. The fans loved him during that period either way so it didn't matter.

John Cena was still a full timer, doesnt make sense to lose to a part timer
>And yet he still popular
he was smart enough to use his popularity while in the wwf to kickstart his hollywood career, enough to leave his wrestling career entirely and still remain relevant.

true but at least he found his footing when he joined The Nation in 9. He still gets the occasional rocky sucks chant in early 98 but by the late 98 he was starting to get more cheers than boos. It's a mixed bag of a year for the rock.

His current Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson gimmick is his worst incarnation. I actually thought it was pretty cringe when he was getting the crowd to chant at Mahal last week on Raw. He doesn't even seem like a character any more, just some narcissistic celebrity who comes out to pander to the fans. I wonder if people will ever get sick of him.

it looks good because he stopped roiding during that time, he doesnt look bloated like his earlier run plus he moves around alot more. I think The Rock is alot like Randy Orton physique wise, both doesnt need to be bulky to look good both already looked good.
