If Vince Sr had put over Bruno Sammartino as a babyface to a massive chorus of boos from Madison Square Garden, what do you think he would've done? Kept the strap on him and just pushed him for 8 years like Vince did with babyface Roman? No. You pivot.
When Baba came to the venue and saw the people in line chanting MISAWA, he decided on the spot to change course and put him over Jumbo Tsuruta. Because the fans are the money, and the money dictates the business.
It's actually Taker who is warped because he worked under Vince Jr for so long when he was more or less the only game in town, where he ignored fan input and tanked the popularity of the company in favor of making all of his money through incorporation and television contracts.
Historically, the fans determine the booking if the booker is good.
