I wasn't sold on him immediately.
And not usually being into jacked up guys I thought he was a good looking dude.
Nothing like Cody or Balor, but not bad.
It was his match against Undertaker that really cemented him for me as a major player.
Ridiculously agile and athletic for his size, WWE had never really seen anything like him before.
Sadly his superpush and subsequent leaving scarred Vince for life and talent after talent after talent has suffered because of it.
You start to get over, you get momentum, you get pushed back down. It happens time and time again.
They've had a handful of guys that could have have momentum straight to the title, but anytime it starts they have to get depushed, go heel, or stop doing what makes them over.
Another poster once said "Brock leaving really f***ed up Vince's head".
