And the fact he is an amazing worker but is often overlooked for the big muscle guy? >_>
I don't feel that Rollins is overlooked at all because he's had a pretty good run as "the guy" and anyone who watches knows how good he is.

I think the same was equally true for Macho Man, hell maybe even more so because despite always being certifiably "second" to Hogan in terms of booking, Savage was arguably as big of a cultural icon. He was certainly held in much better regard than Hogan before his death and the latter's public private controversy.

So no, I don't think there's a comparison because both were/are held as top stars despite not getting as much focus with the title as their kayfabe BFFs turned hated rivals.

Wait ..

I think his gimmick is he's living his best life because he's not pretending to be a wrestling ant anymore :D

He's a comedic character whose shtick is that he's SUPER laid back, so much so that he doesn't even take his matches seriously unless he's absolutely forced to do so (almost invariably due to heel tactics).

That's it. He's a really talented performer but his gimmick isn't that of some super serious title chaser. In fact, it's the exact opposite. He's just there to have a laugh.

Also, I just wanna put out there that while I enjoyed the original Goldberg run in WCW, his failure as a character beyond that showed that the MAIN thing about him was the streak. The second he had to do more than 3-8 minute matches his mystique was completely gone.

He's a super laid-back/lazy ass wrestler who's just kinda cool because of how laid-back he is.

But it plays because when he goes, he GOES. And on the rare chance that he shows emotion, especially anger, you know shit is about to go down. Kinda like when Gohan finally gave into his anger and went ssj2

Triple H is so alpha.

Like, brutally so.

Thats not even Kayfabe.

Thats animalistic hierarchy, king of the jungle type shit.

Because they don't fake hit each other, they just don't hit each other as hard as they make it look. Wrestling is scripted, not fake.

I knew wrestling was scripted after seeing Beyond the mat movie. I remember one part where Mick Foley talks about winning the WWF championship where he says he got a call from Vince telling him they were going to have him win the title and when he was going to lose it.

Also the chairs and trash cans are aluminum. As someone who back yard wrestling lemme tell ya. They don't dent or bend that easy. But I think wrestling original idea was that he's guys are superhuman. Which would explain the classic luchador outfits.

When I was a kid, I went to see Hogan vs. Macho Man. I had a blast, my Dad, not so much. He still hasnt forgiven me.

Not sure at what point I stopped watching wrestling, but prior to that, loved me some Rowdy Roddy Piper, Brutus The Barber Beefcake, Tito Santana, etc. etc.

I saw hogan once. Not wrestle though just gave a speech with the wolf pack in the ring with him. I honestly can't remember shit about the WWE even I went to outside literally being able to feel the heat from kanes Pyro. And I was like 23 rows back.

I quit watching for two reasons. Got to where I could predict matches with about 85% accuracy even predicted the outcome of a wanna say 7 or 9 man royal rumble. Then I got tired or Cena being played as a underdog despite having proven he almost always beat the odds

Triple H isnt playing a character in this video.

Hes just systematically roasting CM Punk for being a weak individual.

A lot of people seem to gloss over the fact that Punk got along great with Vince, it was Triple H he had issues with. Even though he was sick and feeling like shit, the boiling point when he finally walked out was due to getting into it with Hunter in the office

Also, if any of you are long-time lapsed fans, WWE has been the most watchable it's been in at least 15 years with Vince stepping down.

I know hogan is technically a shitty wrestler but he's my favorite.
Nah, Hogan could work. Its just Vince was pushing a more "punchkick" style than actual mat wrestling.

Here's Hogan in New Japan in '91, he even hits a fucking enziguri.

Hogan's Japan run is so overrated. He was still so mediocre. By no means was Hogan ever a good technical wrestler.
