It's almost like the booking responded to fan reactions back then.

>implying debuting rocky was anywhere near as good as the rock
That's like looking at The Ringmaster getting fuck-all crowd reaction because eventually he'd become Stone Cold, you fucking mong.
If every wrestler debuted as good as they were at their peak, every new talent would get a Lesnar debut push to Neptune and back.

all the college kids going are beta fat bearded brony types and not drunk sports fan types

i swear this board is retarded
look at the crowd in a 90s match, several kids and women in the stand
it has nothing to do with alpha chads, you had better characters to cheer for, too.

You got THIS mad over a 7-world quip.

You have to look at the face of the company at the time, OP.
>Hogan told you that if you said your prayers and took your vitamins you could be just like him one day, a true american hero.
>The Rock after turning heel told you that the only person who mattered was yourself, and later told you he couldn't have done it without the fans
>Stone Cold told you to not let anyone push you around, to to live as you see fit
>nWo told you to do what you see fit, you aren't held down by the expectations of others
>Sting and goldberg fought for what was right
>Cena told you to work hard and fight for what you believe in, and to be respectful of everyone
Roman tells us...that he's not a bad guy? Orton kinda hears voices? Seamus rambles about something? Finn is a spooky demon man? Cesaro likes uppercutting?
Theres nobody to cheer for, you have some characters like Ray, jericho, eddie, etc who won the belt despite being smaller and what not, but theres no big character everyone can get behind

>Cesaro
>face of the company
>>
>>2289840
Neither are the 3 guys he mentioned before him
>>
>>2289840
I didn't say he was the face. I'm stating that there isn't a guy everyone can rally behind, like a cena, a hulk, rock, stonecold, sting, goldberg.
>>
>>
>>2289846
Well yeah, before it got stale, but today I find myself enjoying Cena matches a lot more as compared to years ago
>>
kayfabe was more alive in the 90s. i mean - still dead, but the body was warm.
>>
>>
>>2289846
Finn has been on like 4 main roster shows, Orton is on the B show and Sheamus is in a tag team with Cesaro. How exactly are they close to being the face of the company? You're an idiot
>>
People went from cheering and booing with the occasional chant, to doing nothing but cringey chants and being silent the rest of the time
>>
>>2289865
Because at one time or another they were presented in that role or pushed towards it.
Cesaro's never even been close.
