Why was this archetype so prevalent 2000s and early 2010s?

Kek, reminds me of this video that an anon made to make fun of Braun while predicting that the same thing would eventually happen to him

He raped Michael Cole. He is basically on the same level of menacing as Kane in that aspect. Hell, he did gay rape so he's technically worse since Kane raped a woman (and a corpse that one time if Triple H is to be believed.)

That's how Vince separated the bitches from the actual tough guys, if you can't say "no" to behaving like a dumb bitch then you'll perform like a dumb bitch, and worse.

Same goes with the dancing fatass gimmick.

Vince is such a weird creature. You can never tell how the humiliation gimmick will end up cause some guy have had humiliating shit happen to them and came back. Hell, Jinder and Drew were in 3MB and both came back to be World Champion. Other guy would just get the gimmick stuck to them for their entire career, like Truth or Santino.

I think Vince had some weird hang up back then over Brock. He would push guys and sabotage them, just in case they decided to leave. Or he wanted someone to become a huge deal right away and when they didn't they'd get saddled with some bullshit.

They fed them to Undertaker. Lots of monsters were brought up with that express purpose. When Cornette had Batista in developmental he had that exact scenario in mind, seeing as he was so old and green.

Why are the new generation of wrestlers supposed to listen to these old hacks again?

He must be in the most antidimes fed in existence if he's still getting away with that shit in 2025 lol. That would get canceled and taken off TV so fast in any reasonably big promotion.
