Or wrestling in general? I don't know if there's a place for the indestructible hero. (possibly extends to all generic top faces)

Fans turned on Hogan in the mid 90s because they were tired of the same thing.
When Bret Hart took top spot they turned him into the generic good guy and he began to fall
When Diesel became the straight laced top guy people didn't care about him. Whenever he was an asshole people started to pay attention again.
In Shawn Michaels first run, people were bored as hell whenever he tried to be the top good guy.
When The Rock was Rocky Maivia getting pushed as the next big face, it was completely dead. It took him being an asshole to get the people cheering. Come 2001-02 and The Rock had transformed into a generic face that people got bored of. All of a sudden he's doing his Hollywood Rock gimmick and he gets back over because he's such an entertaining prick.
Cena gets over as an edgy rapper, then when he's on top they take away everything that makes him edgy and fans can't remember why they liked the guy. Any time he gets to do something interesting in a promo all of a sudden everyone in the audience decides they want to cheer him again.

Superman isn't the same draw he used to be. Everyone wants Iron Man. Captain America had to get edgy to get over. Even new Superman got a more dark and gritty gimmick, and he's still struggling.

WWE legend X-Pac says the capsules he was carrying at LAX were NOT crystal meth — it was medicine to treat a yeast infection — and he’s 100% confident lab tests will back his story.

TMZ Sports spoke with X-Pac — real name Sean Waltman — who says he understands why people might not believe his explanation … but insists he’s neither using nor selling narcotics, period.

The 44-year-old admits he’s had issues with meth in the past — “I was one of the worst meth heads ever” — but says he’s a changed man and prides himself on living a clean life.

“I know the truth will come out,” X-Pac told us on the set of his show, “X-Pac 1,2,360,” on AfterBuzz TV … “In the meantime, oh what a mess man.”

Dude was twitching nonstop on today's video podcast all while claiming to be clean and upright. Kind of painful watch.

maybe you guys can help settle something for me. how do you pronounce kayfabe?

i've always pronounced it "kayfabe". but, all my friends say it's pronounced "silly ass made up shit that wouldn't hold the attention of a 5 year old".

to cloud matters further, i went to the wiki and they said it was pronounced "several greased up men in their underwear poncing about on a stained mat performing homo-erotic foreplay before retiring to the shower room for a bit of bouncy bouncy".

and what is it with BiggiE rassling again? i thought Tupac killed him 20 years ago.

so confusing....

I like 205 Live. The show's got workrate, characters, matches with ring psychology, and most of the roster isn't flippy shit (although I like flippy shit).

I hate faggots who whine about manlets, but pic related made me suddenly think of 205 as "The manlet show".
Holy shit.
