IronSheik Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 Mick Foley went from being a darling with a segment of the fan base to a mainstream attraction in the late 90s in WWF. He'd always been a crazy bumper, but the Hell in a Cell bumps became iconic but I think the main reason he got super over was his character. He was great at getting the audience to root for him. His first retirement match was emotional as fuck especially.
Liam O'Rourke Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 It's actually probably more pronounced than even that - he was a pretty fucking cold heel from King of the Ring to Summerslam, but when he started turning babyface people really started to love his goofy comedy and he was champ by the end of the year. Amazing.
Mr Butternut Squash Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 I expect to be in the minority on this but I genuinely thought Prince Devitt/Finn Balor was the most uninteresting, overhyped in-ring worker of his generation until last year. I don't know what clicked for him, but he's settled brilliantly into the working ace role. Far cry from the vanilla dude that would blandly run through spot to spot, dropkick to double stomp.
