A good spectacle is eventually lost to time. Nostalgia doesn’t last forever.
A good match is always remembered becoming examples of the best work within the interest/hobby and even study material for future students.
Rock/Hogan wasn’t even a bad match. For people who claim not to give a shit about his star rating they sure do like to be mad at something that he’s already calling good.
