>>8787125 It's partially marks seething on heel and partially for his booking choices and presentation.
Trips substituted actually being over to getting booked/booking himself over and doing so excessively and beyond his best match years and mostly being average in ring at best.
This killed runs of many crowd favorite wrestlers and as some put it, killed the ratings. It was a part of it but blaming Trips solely for this is dumb. There were many a idiots behind the curtain including Pritchard that ruined things with him, Trips just was the face of the curve down.
