Some of the fans were even frustrated to see WWE re-booking this match from time to time. No matter what, it’s undeniable that the two do hold great in-ring chemistry.

He always had the crowd in the palm of him hand. It was a little because they loved him so much, or they hated him so much. He really knew how to get those emotions from them. So it was not just some coincidence. Dude’s a genius. I miss you, John. I miss you.”
