@landofthe80s I don’t know about total number of fans because there were some greats. However, perception wise, he could be because of his story and family plus his rise to stardom from kid to adult was a huge deal then. So many people invested in his story for so long could put him there.
@_kennythoughts Low key, Backlash is becoming one of my favorite PLEs the last three years. I thoroughly enjoyed the fast pace, good matches, and fun moments. It was exactly what it needed to be.
