Your point about hating him and turning around on him recently; not the Japan thing, haha. Meltzer specifically said something along the lines of "People have always loved Juice Robinson. He's a guy that people have always rooted for." I'm paraphrasing. As I said, I am probably taking his noted hyperbole and optimism way too literally. I'm just saying that's bullshit. I'm not saying he's not good. I'm not saying he hasn't won crowds over. I'm just saying that people wrote him off as nothing special until really, really recently. This isn't a story of an indy darling finally getting the chance in the main event. This is more like people doing a swing on The Miz in 2016. It would be equally as bullshit to say that generally people have always thought The Miz is a great worker. It's got nothing to do with whether or not people love him now.
