Rock shit talking job guys into oblivion is a gimmick. Gimmicks aren't all just a weird costume and name. Some guys are nothing but the gimmick, those guys are also usually just shit at their jobs. I tuned into Austin because of the beer chugging and middle fingers, but also he was just a genuinely entertaining wrestler. The shit on top was just funny gimmick shit for him to do. That's why there are no genuine draws left anymore. These modern faggots are so obsessed with the internet smarks saying that they're great that they've stopped caring at all if they actually are. Because, as this board clearly demonstrates, smarks are all autistic manchildren who are all so self-absorbed that they haven't realized yet that just because you spend all of your time and money on a hobby doesn't mean you get to serve at the barometer for a quality product and you're the exact same as every other mark at the arena. Fans used to love gimmicks, it was the whole point, but smarks ruined the whole fucking thing.
