I'm somewhere in the middle. I enjoy his matches but have never really gotten the whole OMG HE'S THE BEST TO EVER DO IT BY FAR hype.

I honestly think you have this backwards. It’s only the vocal minority that still watch wrestling. The majority, that liked having big stars, stories and selling have stopped watching a long time ago.
The likes of Omega and the Bucks have made wrestling a niche product that doesn’t appeal to the masses. It’s athletically impressive, sure, but it isn’t professional wrestling.
People want stars and stories over athleticism. Even in the ring, psychology and selling live longer in the memory than any amount of flips and finisher kick outs. That’s why Rock/Hogan was an infinitely more memorable spectacle watched and remembered by many more people than Omega/whoever.
