Let’s at least bond on this, TPWW family.

The face\heel switcheroo really started in WCW as he turned quite a few times. But WWE brought it up to another level to say the least. He got into great shape far too late in his career for it to make any difference, had he continued his weight loss and training from his Mayweather match he may well have made more of an impact in the years that followed.
But the reality is he ballooned up in weight again, not to his ecw weight which was a legit 535 or thereabouts for a time but over the 400lb mark and he just looked out of shape and flabby.
I think for the most part the crowd got bored of him due to his many many "turns", it really became all he was known for in the end. At last count it was around 30 or so iirc, which is fucking ridiculous to say the least. It's like the so called "creative" team just used him as a flip\flop machine when they didn't have any ideas for him.
He could have been a bigger player than he ended up being, part of that is down to his laziness in being out of shape for most of his career and the other part down to wwe misusing him constantly.
