What made Batista succeed that Wardlow lacks?

proper build and storyline, paul was friends with him so he put him over big, mjf completely undercut him with the plane fanfest and gay shoot then tony dropped the ball right after.

Different time. Different eras. The internet was still growing. No special snowflakes. No twitter.

Switch them out and wardlow would have been the champ

what does the internet have to do with wardlows botched push?

Had legit stars to work with, most of whom performed during the last boom period, when he went over or aligned with one it legitimised him. Wardlow is in AEW working with literal whos, he could go over orange Cassidy a 100 times and nobody outside of obese tape traders will give a fuck

Not being booked like Goldberg

People. Back in the day a smaller number of people had the internet so the people that did sure as hell werent on wrestling forums.

Not to mention the bitching people do. The internet made it easy to bitch more (especially twitter)

so how did it ruin wardlows push? you still havent explained.

would the fans have turned on him eventually? maybe but he never got that chance in the first place.

You are correct. The internet, in its second stage, ie: the social media boom, changed everything. Everything.

Im sure there are a lot of snowflakes saying "he is a goldberg wannabe" or something on twitter and tk actually reads that shit. Im sure twitter has a lot to do with his shitty booking and his ideas. He is literally trying to please those snowflakes on the internet

Im sure the fans would have turned because wrestling fans are fickle

massive dong, shakin da ropes

Because at the Batista's time, i think 80% of wrestler succes was entrance theme and presentation at whole
