His success has always been accidental, or nothing to do with him. He inherited Andre from his Dad, and the largest market, which made it simple for him to monopolize. AWA built Hogan, and all of his initial stars were built elsewhere. When they all left for real money, and he had to build his own stars for once, we got Bret and Shawn, and they nearly went out of business. Then Russo saves the company with Heyman's ideas and we get Attitude. And then, as the competition and the urgency dies, we get the real Vince again, which is super Cena and always declining ratings. He's a sham. The problem with success is that it has tricked Vince and others into thinking he did something right.

No lies detected. He's a brilliant heel wrestler and talented at carnying his way through the business world. But as a booker he is shit and always has been and was carried by pure luck and his own talent as a heel wrestler and carny businessman.
Record profits, trannies.
He drove Hulk and Macho away. He drove Bret away, and HBK desperately wanted to get out of his contract, and probably kayfabed that back injury a little. Rock ran away. Stone Cold walked out. Brock left. Punk left. Reigns faked cancer to go home. Not only can he not book very well, he can't even keep his talent most of the time. Imagine not even having a plan for Steve Austin in 2002.
Not entirely true, didn’t he have to work for another company before being accepted into WWWF and even then he had to prove to his dad that he was worthy to have the company?
record profits happen when he has Nick Khanhandling his business instead of handling it himself?
wouldn't that make him a bad businessman?
>Then Russo saves the company with Heyman's ideas and we get Attitude
You're forgetting two things.
Russo's shit was recognised as such by the fans.
They weren't popping for the hos because the Godfather cut a good promo on the hos, they popped for the tits and ass.
The fans weren't popping for the bathroom camera segments either.
You're forgetting who people came to see: Stone Cold Steve Austin, and The Rock.
The Austin-Bret rivalry got people's attention, the Bret-Michaels shoot fiasco fueled the fans, and when Austin came back from that neck bump and had to up his promo game harder than ever before the crowd was salivating at a beer-chugging working class Texan to break up the shitty New York clichés.
I would fight and die for this man.
>Rock ran away
For business.
>Autism ran away
Because of scripts and TV drama storylines from Russo and the rest of creative.
>Brock left
Same reason as Autism.
>Punk left
Same reason. He would've been gone sooner if him work-shooting that pipebomb wasn't a vent for that frustration.
>Reigns faked cancer to go home
Unlikely. He would've stayed gone if he would go that far go leave.
You know what I've always liken Vince to? You remember those cartoons with the hapless baby and its poor pet guardian? You know, the baby wonders onto a building site and the dog/cat rushes after them protecting them from every pitfall, falling object and heavy machinery? That was basically Vince. Vince was/is that baby wandering around obliviously, while Austin, Bret, Patterson, and Macho tried to steer him away from those death traps.
fake news
who gives a fuck? EGG!
Bad end
He literally bought WWWF from his dad since he didn't think Vince could handle it.
He couldn't
Is called wwe now
Russo wasn’t around by that point.
Just look at this EGG-holding smug SOB. You know he's trying to give you a dancing gimmick but you can't help but love this old fart
>VDS cope again
Vince was a weeb before weebs were a thing. Before the take over, he kept having meetings with Inoki in Japan and copied NJPW's marketing style. That's how records and toys got introduced to American wrestling. That mixed with fucking over every company that wouldn't sell out to him by taking their top guys and bribing stations for their TV slots is what put him above the rest.
It's money. Once something you own starts making so much you become extremely risk-averse. It happens in every industry, not just wrestling. There's too much money involved and too many stakeholders to just go off the rails, even if that's what got you that money in the first place. Then you just roll with brand loyalty and the money keeps coming in until there's no one left who remembers why it was good in the first place.
Cool story bro!
