>Stone Cold was only good because he was carried by Vince and The Rock. Outside of that, he wasn't very interesting
>The Rock's character was just him doing catchphrases. Later found out he would write his promos on his hand. Wasn't very good naturally
>CM Punk was hot for one summer and has been living off that small storyline for his entire career. Hasn't been "the guy" since

>kenny omega got popular because of a youtube video and really only ever appealed to the most terminally online of fans, he never cut a good promo in his life and most of his matches are just him sawdusting himself with minimal psychology

Worse brother.
(((Brian Gewirtz))) gave him promos.
They weren't the Rock's promos.
Not one of his phrases came from his mind.

I don’t think inoki was bad but it’s hilarious how many people assume he was better than Baba. I guess that’s just wrestling fans, have to have an opinion even though they know they haven’t done their research.

Austin was just a watered down version of the dirty white boy. Rock was gay through and through though.

Unironically the guy in OP's pic.
>See this mofo first time hearing about this new company when coming back to watching wrestling during coof
>Dimes look, dimes entrance, dimes entrance theme, look big and stronk with Blade
>Bit of a goober in ring but build right, the parts to build on are there, especially in a company of midgets
>ffw Gets fucked by booking for a year +
>Never steps up, instead demoralization sets in
>Gimmick becomes goofier and "notice me booker" jobber style all the time,
>Ruins look, Still booked like trash, father time is noticeably setting in a deadline
And that's a sad story, in hindsight he didn't have enough balls to get on top of the card and I had higher expectations based on the look and gimmick alone.

Edge. Edge has always been a midcarder who got pushed based on looks and lack of other stars. The biggest thing he ever did to get over was to fuck Matt Hardy's girlfriend backstage.

All true. Only reason he got over with a crowd is because he looked good. I.E. wasn't a 5'3 pancake faced Zainichi like everyone else was back then.

Listen to his voice. Sounds like he's 15 despite being and looking in his 40s.
Dimes repellant.

I don't know what I need to do with this information. Plenty of guys in wrestling that should be issued restraining orders to keep them approaching mics and they still do it. Besides he was/is packaged with Blade who can talk for him if they ever had to talk.

My point wasn't he needs to be the face of the company and do promos, the point was that he had a good look with above shitter level skills despite being green and he or his tag team was never used to his full potential. It shouldn't be too hard to establish them as a force, give 'em a tag champ run between the guys who don't want to do business with each other, wins over fresh ex-tag teams, but it's like the booker didn't understand what they got. yet someone insisted putting Butcher at least twice that I witnessed as one of the last few competitors in Rumble matches... for all the good that did them.
