Why the huge pop?
He said the word
>>12936241He was actually pretty decent and his shtick wasn't overdone at that time. Also he didn't have to compete with the influx of indy darlings that quickly exposed his mediocre in-ring.
>>12936264>mediocre in-ringHe’s the best worker they’ve had in decades

>>12936241Smark favorite cashing in his MITB on the smarkiest night of the year (RAW after WM).
>>12936264>mediocre in-ring.LMAO
>>12936241Because back then he gave a shit and people were into him. Then he got repeatedly buried and kept re-signing with the WWE like a cuck in an era when getting over elsewhere and joining/coming back was a guaranteed payrise and main event push.

>>12936241AJ Lee and Based pre New Day Big Langston.. dimes
>>12936796When AEW started it was too late for him>>12936857And Mcintyre
>>12936241Nobody liked Del Rio, not even beaners.
