I think it's about time that we all ask ourselves a question. Does Vince deserve his praise? Let's discuss his "discoveries".
Hulk Hogan, despite his last decade of all out embarassment, is the name that EVERYONE knows. Wrestling to mainstream has never reached the level that it did with him and his 24 inch pythons. Was that Vince or was that just him seeing a wave of fandom and accepting it?
Stone Cold Steve Austin, to me, is the greatest performer to ever step foot in the squared circle. Even in his prime, Hogan never made wrestling "cool". Watch the SC Bottom Line documentary. Vince didn't even see his ECW promos. He knew people liked someone and signed him. He gave Stone Cold a mouthpiece. The greatest talker in wrestling history, if not top 5, with a mouthpiece.
John Cena, love him or hate him, is the man. He is a workhorse and a half and haters realy need to look at themselves and realize that they know nothing of the wrestling buisness let alone the effort and passion that he brings to all aspects of his job. Who got that? Stephanie.
Vinnie Mac has been a great asset to the world of professional wrestling, if not THE driving force behind its success. I can honestly say that I would put him on a list of top 10 people in the world that I'd love to sit and have a beer with. Right now though, that talk would be a whole lot of "What tha f#$% were you thinking?"
I'm not a IWC WWE hater, I'm not. The entertainment that WWE has brought to my life over the last 25 years has been ridiculous. My question is... is it time to say Vince has lost it? Worse yet, is it time to say he never really had it? Maybe at this point my question is trivial. The people that I see on my TV screen that truly make me enjoy wrestling are the people that are succeeding despite Vince's outright attempts to hold them back. Punk and Bryan are both laughably successful despite the opinion of "The Boss.'"
A few weeks ago, Vince came to RAW and had his Punk confrontation. We made that happen. Not "we" the IWC, "we" the wrestling fan. I will never aim to be one of the "fans" that hate on everything that happens , but at this point I feel someone needs to say to the man that it's time to go.
My point, and I'm pretty sure I lost track here, is do we need to stop? There are things I love today, but when they happen all I can think is it's only a matter of time before he ruins those things. Sandow will be fed to Cena, Ryback will lose to Lesnar who loses to HHH. Barrett? The man doesn't stand a chance.
I'm done with my rant, whatcha got?
