Disagree on booking as the major factor
The booking was only one element. The fact that he was in significantly better shape is the main issue imo. You had this physical freak who could do dropkicks and the like. Consider when Taker broke into WWE how he was this massive guy who could do extremely athletic moves, he was ahead of his time
Same could have been for Giant, except the gimmick wasn't nearly as good. Hence why I think the booking was only a minor, small component
Currently, I agree in that its the same David vs Goliath angle. However, if they gave him a mean streak and just had him tear through the roster knocking people out, the situation might be helped
