Is all of this pandering to the fat neckbeards smarks his way of getting revenge on casual fans who cheered for Rock and Austin and didn't give a shit about him in the late 90's/early 2000's?
No.
All then teenage testosterone fueled boys moved on to MMA and UFC.
The only audience left is smarks.
You have to think about it logically from an economical perspective.
WWE used to be on spike tv, the UFC deliberately placed ultimate fighter on after raw to steal all of its audience, and it worked and wwe has never been the same.
They may not say it but the ufc is their real competition

He still has nightmares about Rock and Austin being bigger draws than him despite main eventing 7 manias.

wrestling starte losing popularity in the mid 2000's UFC started rising.
UFC also stole from boxing.
Personally i love boxing, mma, and wrestling.
Ill watch them all.
But its the truth, UFC cucked wrestling out of its audience.
>>1682557
He's right.
Marks don't actually watch wrestling anymore, only smarks.
The casuals, or marks, watch mma.

Austin was more over with casuals
Austin and Rock were flashes in the pan; after they fucked off to their ranch/Hollywood, HHH became the biggest star in the company
