1999, 2002 and 2016 were also horribly contrived.

That guy got himself so over and Vince just hated his guts for some reason, you can make the argument that he's not the best ring worker, but neither was Hogan and that didn't stop him from fucking saving the company in the 80's. Why not back Ryder up a bit instead of wondering why every stadium is full of nothing but smarks boo'ing Roman every single week?

That seems to be out of his own accord, actually, he wanted to portray a more serious character and dial down the memes, which frankly, is a piss poor decision that led him to be teamed up with Mojo.

Ryder was green as gooseshit in 2011 and bombed whenever he appeared on TV.

Don't care it only lasted for the duration of the match, it was pure magic.

Canadian and Texan crowds are the best.
Canadian and Texan wrestlers are the best.

Coincidence?

no they aren't

>don't care if Hogan can't do shit anymore at that point

>that test of strength
>That throwing Rock across the ring and flex.

Sad thing was that turn wasn't even planned, it was just Rock and Hogan understanding how to play the crowd.

>say what you want about hogan, him wanting to kick out of the rock bottom and hulk up was the best exercise of his creative control possible.

>Crowd went fucking nuts.
