Well, why was the WCW Cruiserweight scene so popular? Why do people still care about Edge and Jeff Hardy? (They got over before anyone of them could put a complete sentence together.) Why did people like Xpac for like 5 minutes?
I dunno though, I've only seen one night of the Shield and I bought the gimmick of them just being great at working with each other and sacrificing everything so that the team can win. They look different too which is nice.
I think as a super-casual fan I have finally let go all the things that made wrestling hard to enjoy. I'm satisfied if a wrestler can do one thing well and I don't compare everyone to Rock, Austin, Nash and Hall in my head anymore.
Ryback looks great and seems to be good in the ring, but he is complete shit on the mic' and his heel turn was pathetic. Somebody call an AMBULAN!
Roman Reigns looks like a non-crippled version of Khali, but he's pretty great in the ring from what I've seen.
Daniel Bryan has found a nice niche of an over-the-top emotionally unstable guy who can wrestle, I like it.
Kane is somehow amazing and I have no clue how that happened. In the 90s he was probably the most boring guy in the ring every time he wrestled.
Ambrose is weird and I like him on the mic', he comes off as legitimately crazy.
Hair-dude is pretty good in the ring too and all three members of the shield have great chemistry. Can't ask for much more.
And Kofi did some good jumpy-jump stuff.
The crowd seemed to be really into the match too and legitimately pissed when the Shield won.
Hell, I liked the whole show up until Triple H jobbing to a concussion. (And the diva match which I skipped).
