>>9747905They really treated this man like this just because he had a popular youtube series and got over enough with the fans to avoid being another forgettable jobber
It wasn't even like he got an ego from it and started demanding main events with Cena or anything. It wasn't like he was getting bigger crowd reactions than Cena to be considered a threat to him. He got over just enough to avoid literal-who territory, and they buried the fuck out of him repeatedly because of it
Reminded me of the time when Fandango's theme suddenly became a viral thing, then they immediately and intentionally sent Lawler and Fandango out to kill the whole thing for the crowd
Vince was a fucking nut back then. It's like he thought Cena's popularity and merch sales was going to get hurt by crowds singing along with some jobber's theme
