    Damien Sandow is the best example, the pop he got when he eliminated The Miz was HUUUGE.

    • @zanethind
      @zanethind Месяц назад

      Yeah and him being partnered up with the Miz as a stunt double worked for Sandow even though it was supposed to make the Miz seem more of a heelish prick but it just didn't work because no one cared about the Miz at that point they just wnated Sandow sorry Miz but it's true

    1999 the Rock had AWESOME matches against HHH. this was during the Nation v DX feud was still going on. I'll never forget that every match the Rock had, he did the peoples elbow and EVERY WEEK the moment he did it, the POPs where LOUD. The summerslam ladder match is criminally UNDERRATED- This was about the time that Ladder matches became a common wrestling trope- so that match was still a fresh one (despite the ladder match idea being an old idea of course)

    I don't understand the 123kid thing. He was supposed to pin Scott but he didn't havea real contract yet? How was he not supposed to get over when Scott literally did the job for him? Wasn't this whole angle made to get xpac over? Unless you mean it was supposed to be a mentor role for Scott but was overshadowed by how over pac got. I just feel like the situation doesn't belong in the list. 123 was supposed to get over. He just pinned Razor Ramon.

    IMO pairing the Miz with Daniel Bryan was genius. Nobody was gonna improve Bryan's wrestling skills at that point, so pairing him with one of the most charismatic superstars on the roster in order to have him benefit from that is a good idea. Plus they were one of the most entertaining parts of the early NXT seasons and one of the few positives coming from gameshow NXT.

    When AJ and roman were having their bangers, you could tell the crowd was starting to finally understand that Roman wasn't as terrible as they made him out to be. The matches were so good that they couldn't deny it. Hence, the "you still suck" chant started coming.
    That was a tacit acknowledgment that he was doing really well, but they couldn't like him because of their perceived issues.
