Keeping Them Strong

For example, Hulk Hogan’s entire formula was based on letting the opponent show off his arsenal in beating him silly before the comeback, and no one devalued the opponent because of course he lost to Hogan. Undertaker was really good at this too, especially in his later years. And of course, Andre the Giant had such an aura you could be stronger by just making him flinch.

I can’t say as I agree 100% with your detective work there. Hulk would suck heels completely dry until they had to leave the promotion to rebuild. It didn’t hurt in the LONG run, but he absolutely wrecked them in the short term. Look at what happened to Orndorff.
