That doesn't make up for the fact that he's up there with the best of the worst in terms of horrible gimmicks.

But yes, he was a solid worker, especially pre-WWF (Stampede).
I think a better question, instead of asking why people still watch, would be this. Why exactly do you care what complete strangers watch? I don't understand why people still seem to enjoy all of the reality TV, but I'm not all that interested in going to a message board full of people like that questioning them about it.
I'm sure you, and others who don't watch WWE anymore but still question why other people watch, are into all kinds of stuff that a lot of other people would see as a waste of time, but like you said, to each their own.
I failed to mention it before, but there are actually quite a few workers that I still enjoy watching, even if they are being jobbed out for the time being.
The overall booking of the storylines it my biggest problem right now. If they could get their shit together in terms of the storylines, I'd be more willing to give them a pass when it comes to some of the overly stupid and offensive stuff.
