The American Dream? Hells yeah!
But there is one guy that most of us forget about or don't know about, because his peak popularity was in the mid to late 70's. That being, this guy... He is considered one of the creators of the modern day style of trash talk. He is also credited for being one of the first mega muscle physiques in the industry. In addition to the two aforementioned credits, he has been named by Hulk Hogan, Scott Steiner, and many others as being one of, if not their main influences.
He is, Superstar Billy Graham! Keep in mind when watching this promo that he was SUPPOSED TO BE THE MAIN BAD GUY (heel) at the time, yet listen to the crowd reaction as he comes to the ring. It ended up being the reason they took the belt off of him and doomed his character, because Vince McMahon Sr. didn't like that a trash talking, body builder looking guy was getting so popular, when he thought that a guy with Grahams background should be getting booed and should be the villain.
Oh, and does anyone recognize the very young announcer interviewing The Superstar?!
Technically, it was the perfect way to defeat him.... cattle prod! Plus, Kev was the booker at that point, so he got to call the shots.

After that he made the mistake of punching out a window when they told him to use a bat, and had to be out almost a year due to his ego causing him to tear the nerves and tendons in his hand and forearm. Killing the angle and his revenge before it got to culminate

Nah, it was the multiple resets with creative. Ed Ferrara and Vince Russo came, tried to reset everything, Russo without a filter and thinking fans were dumb enough to not care about his HORRIBLE creative ideas, including himself and David Arquette both having a turn holding the World title, and reseting stories and stripping every title TWICE in less than a year is what killed them. Then the fact that almost every guy had guaranteed contacts, whether they say at home or gave any effort, as well as creative control to refuse to anything if they didn't like it. .... that's what killed Dubya Sea DubyaBecause people really cared about a Nash vs Goldberg rematch after the finger poke of doom a few weeks later right...
I haven't looked into that specific timeline in a while but I'm pretty sure that particular booking decision is what set off a chain of events that lead to the end of WCW. In fact, the first real panic over TV ratings happened soon after in February and the blame was directed mainly towards...Kevin Nash.

My usual reaction to cage match for a main event: Oh boy!!!
My reaction once I find out it's also a Reigns match: Oh boy superman punch x15, spear, win
I know my wife sure seems to watch the screen quite a bit more when he is coming to the ring. The reaction Roman gets is interesting. The dudes harass him, the girls throw their ass at him.
