Usually is a wrestler isnt getting any reaction, he is written off, or changed characters or what not. Some have great charisma, and therefore are sort of shoe ins to be pushed to the top. The Rock for instance. Its not complicated. Oh yea, and I used to be a huge mark, till about 2-3 years ago.

Exactly. The performers still have to be in awesome shape, still risk injuries all the time, etc....
As for the Rock, he wasn't very popular at all until they tried painting him as a bad guy. As the 'blue chipper' Rocky Maivia, all he got was 'Die Rocky Die' chants because he was so flavorless and boring.
Once he became a 'bad guy', started speaking more and feuded with Degeneration-X, then he became 'The Rock'.
