Yeah obviously the “one ace” worked in the 80s with Hulk Hogan but this is a different time

You’re never gonna find someone that could carry a company the way Hulk Hogan did

He went multiple years as WWE Champ, and wasn't the most over, and crowds resented that, but he was the top guy because Vince Sr. liked him

im big on BIG 4s but 2 aces works fine too. plys u can rotate ur aces anyways no one says it has to always be one dude

I think even with your ace, there’s always the number 2 and 3 guys.

For a while it was Michaels and Bret and Taker.

Then Austin, Rock and Triple H etc.

TBF Bob Backlund wasn't rejected at first. When Murderer Snuka came in that's when fans turned on him.

Bob Backlund in 1979 was one of the most organically over people *ever*.

I think it would work today if wwe actually did it right.

Typically fans can only give their all to one or two people.
