Bullshit.
I'm not gonna claim the guy was some charisma God, but to claim he had none? That's asinine. If he had no charisma, how the fuck did he get *cheered* when wrestling the Rock, and Lesnar was the heel?
It was known to a good bit of people that the Rock was leaving after Summerslam. It took place in Uniondale, and a good chunk of New York is known as a smarkish enough community to know that the Rock was leaving. And it's somewhat of a moot point anyway, since I saw just as much cheering for the Rock as I did for Lesnar, but Rocky leaving is a good reason why Brock was catching some cheers.
I cheered for him that night, partially because I was surrounded by blind Rock fans, and partially because I knew he was going to win and could not wait to see the look on everyone's face around me.
You will have to admit, however, that his "jobber killer" days was not exactly the most charismatic guy. I think he really came into his own at the beginning of 2004. Sure, it was pretty much too late at that point, but he was really starting to get good at playing an upper-card/main event monster heel with an ego.
