The true baby face hulk Hogan was the All-American hero.
In the '90s we had anti-heroes like the rock and stone cold.
Despite what some people may think Steve Austin was hulk Hogan's real successor as being the main guy.
I tried with Kevin Nash that didn't really work out so he was just a price holder same thing with red heart and Shawn Michaels who kept feuding and arguing backstage none of them were really his successor.
Until Steve Austin but he was never a full on baby face.
His time was short but impactful.
Eventually he went away for surgery and was gone for months during this time the rock eclipsed him and replaced him. I say that as Steve Austin as my favorite pro wrestler but I can't deny the rock did that.
Eventually The Rock moved on and Cena became very popular and replaced him.
Early seen it was probably more antiharelish but he turned into hulk Hogan 2.0 a true is blue baby face All American good guy.
As Cena moved on on one never really replaced him.
Instead what we saw was a heel on top Roman reigns.
She does not count because he's a heel.
So many tried many failed to beat him but never could no one had the backstage influence or support.
Meanwhile in in another company aew Cody was apologetically American.
Pushed as a baby face despite the woke audience.
It was not his place anymore probably never was but he was a big part of it.
Cody left and returned to WWE where that type of babyface shines.
He gained momentum made a rival in Seth Rollins in a Goku and Vegeta like fashion.
He tried to defeat roman but it wasn't his time yet he needed to be built up.
He defeated someone who's even stronger than roman reigns and didn't need any help that man was Brock Lesnar.
After that the company's babyfaces United to take out the judgment Day.
CM punk returned, a man who was also a possible replacement for cena back in the day but fucked it up.
