>>13124957>exposed the businessEveryone knew it was fake already. People want a reason to suspend disbelief, you can do that with realism or with stories they get invested in. Modern wrestling has neither.
>turned it into a circusIt literally started as a circus dimwit
>ruined its reputationIt never had a reputation it was a business built on lies about fake toughguy junkies who were failed athletes & nightclub bouncers with sketchy histories. WWF & WCW, but moreso post-Benoit (shit as it was for the product) did more than anything to clean up wrestling when before it had been a racket of crooks & gangsters everywhere & everyone knew it.
>monopolized itYes. Made the industry top heavy, good money in WWF, not elsewhere. Congrats on 1 correct point.
>destroyed the territoriesTerritories were criminal rackets full of scum, entertainment was evolving anyway as cable grew the territories were bound to die you can't continue a 100% local industry in a national environment, if WWF don't go national either someone else does or the whole industry slides back into carnival sideshow irrelevance.
>took away all of the gravitas and investment people felt all just to make a quick buckPeople felt both through everything he did, even Attitude Era crash TV had investment/stakes, this went wrong from 02 onwards when they had no real stars so wrote more & more derivative, stale, sanitised shit, especially after the indie boom when bland manlets openly shitting on suspension of disbelief every 5 mins with irony, contrived highspots & Twitter shoots became the norm
>shit on his father’s graveWho gives a fuck about Vince Sr? He abandoned his son to be raped by his mother in a trailer park.
Vince as a human being is a vile piece of shit. Vince as a promoter is the most important person in the history of wrestling, 99% of the complaints there are by people who either couldn't see times changing, refused to accept when they did, or are mad he didn't cater to their niche tastes.
