When somebody hands you the brass ring, grab it. God help you if you try to reach out for it or alter it in any way.

They aren't its just bullshit lies from a crazy person who has had a weird rat person talking in his ear for decades, furthering his dementia.

I don't really believe Vince is that healthy as he says he is, I wouldn't be surprised if he went out like Warrior.

Austin isn't signing their paycheques. It's sort of a "why can't you be more like your brother. He's so much better than you in every way shape and form"

Except your brother is the attitude era.

And he's been dead for 8 years, but your mother still won't shut up about him.

So how did Cena grab the brass ring exactly? He seemed to accidentally grab it by dressing up as Vanilla Ice one year. A lot of his success can be attributed to strong booking for the past 10 years.

WWE decided they wanted him to have it so they handed it to him. That's how, because that's the only way to possess it in the WWE.

Nobody, which is great if the goal of their booking is apathy

It's so fuckin retarded. With the way WWE is run now there's so many all-time great wrestlers that would have been buried or not even given a chance to begin with.

Moral in the locker room must be at rock bottom. The boss took an accusation that he only cares about John Cena to the detriment of the product and basically said "That's entirely true, gently caress my roster."

I don't know how anyone can hear Vince say that and not realise that the roster is screwed from the start.

Well you see there was a guy who did that and got himself over on his own initiative and for his troubles he got beat up by Kane and cucked by Cena.

But you know grab that brass ring and all.

literally this. take the match that your producers told you to do and throw it out the window. Improvise. Austin said in the podcast that they added color to the Bret/Austin double turn before they went out and they knew Vince would be pissed, but the crowd ate it up.

If vince doesn't like it, you'll be booted down like you're going to be anyway. If he likes it, he'll want more.

Has there ever been a point in WWE where grabbing the brass ring was possible? Either Hogan holds you down or the Kliq holds you down or whatever. Has anyone ever gone out, broken the script, and been rewarded for it?

Punk complained about millenials being entitled on his podcast too.

Truther Vandross

There's a massive, massive difference between "millenials are entitled" in reference to the generation as a whole and "no WWE young talent are trying to get to the next level because they are entitled millenials."

The way Punk used it is 100% true. He was absolutely correct. Vince is delusional and uses it to handwave his lovely booking and general lack of modern pro wrestling business sense.

Someone with pull has to fight for you. Punk had Heyman, HHH had the Kliq, and Austin apparently had JR and Bret.
