Not even close of a comparison. Those 80s geeks, save for Hogan, don't even come close to 90s megastars like Rock and Triple H. 90s-00s megastars deserve to main event into their 60s, considering they're actually still in shape.

Why didn't they just have Cody not show up at smackdown? I honestly think triple gay doesn't know how to book

Weren’t Rock and Triple H midcard jabronis in 1998?

Backlund was world champ, it's exactly the same.

No? They were massively over. The stars of the 90s don't even compare to dweebs like Rollins, Cody, Bryan, etc. Even Cena and Roman don't come close.
>>13276623
Backlund's more comparable to Nash or Goldberg. No one gives a shit nor remembers who those fags were. A better comparison would be Hogan. In which case, yes, he should replace Austin.

Paul was doing his cringe midcard act with D-X until about 99.

Having Cody say all that just made it so much worse than it should have been.

Kek, slight fault equivalence you can't compare Rock to Backlund or Cody to Stone Cold. The Rock and Stone Cold are far bigger than the others.

The last time a 2-time Rumble winner had a match at Mania, it was against The Rock for the WWF title. Now, in 2024, The Rock is taking away the 2-time winner's title shot for his own personal glory. What a time to be alive!

I would mark out more for Backlund's theme hitting today than Dwayne's.

It would be like Ric Flair coming back to wrestle Shawn, with Austin having to wait to win the title for a few months. He'd still be over as fuck and draw dimes

Really a sign if how WWE has dropped the ball on making new stars and its in part to shit like this with Rock taking Cody's spot, vicious cycle

Cena left too early, which is the main problem. A Cena that's still around, and has more creative freedom (as in, allow him to go heel or tweener if he wants), could carry the company on his back. They also have actual stars like Randy Orton and AJ Styles that they aren't really doing anything with in favor of anti-draw smark darlings like CAWdy.

Cents is old as fuck and so are Styles and Orton
Even Roman and Cody are almost 40
Hulk Hogan was around 40 when he left WWF for WCW and Vince thought he was a washed up has been by that point

40 is prime wrestling age. I'll take those guys over boring ass dorks like Jasethy or Cody. Or even Roman.

If you think The Rock is actually in any kind of physical condition to wrestle anything longer than his 'match' with Erick Rowan, you are completely nuts.

It's okay to not like Cody but to call him an anti-draw is at odds with all numbers and reality itself.

Cody isn't able to outsell LA Knight you stupid fuck. That AEW bitch is not a star in the making. CM Punk was, yeah, but not fucking CAWdy lmao. Right now it's LA Knight's time. Maybe McIntyre's too.

Overlapping eras. Rock in 2024 is like a 1970s champ big leaguing someone newish the 90s. Plus that was 1993, Hogan was the biggest still the biggest draw, and his peak was only a few years ago at that point. Rock's peak was 20+ years ago...but you know all this.
