Plus people love when a guy can back their trash-talk up and with Angle it was just that much more awesome to watch him be such a badass and beat the fuck out of guys when he's so dorky. As opposed to a guy like The Rock who was the epitome of cool but seemed to lose big matches left and right. It made fans resent him really quickly and forced him to constantly get booed as a face. No one wants to see the hero talk loads of shit and then not be able to back it up so much. It's awful booking. It's something that's fucked up most main event faces ever since.

Astute observations. I really cannot add anymore to what you said.
