>>14251076It wasn't the money.
2022, the last WM with the original authentic McMahon, the one where Austin suddenly does business again.
Then McMahon got swapped out with the much more peppy version who has a fuller face and a moustache, the TKO sale was made, and the Rock suddenly shows up after years of negotiations with Vince failing and he makes the whole company all about himself and every event a celebration of his ego.
No, Austin didn't take the booking for a different reason than money.
Who the fuck would want to do business with the Rock now?
When HHH was constantly put over other guys at Wrestlemania, Vince booked it that way. The Rock will inject himself into anything with potential so the story can be all about him.
He buried his own fucking cousin, the WWE champion. Damned near completely buried Cody too.
