Nah Vince wasn't humble in the last 20 years, he had no reason to be.
He did in the 1970s and for most of the 80s.
It's easy to apply that retrospection and say the WWF was huge in 1983 but it simply wasn't.
He had to go national because the territory was going nowhere and others were moving to do it.
Wrestlemania was a make it or break it show, and it took another 2 years for the WWF's show to get really good with the crowd.
Even then, New Generation wasn't what he hoped it would be (a success) and he was humbled again into acquiescing to the market demands: more realistic stories with more realistic characters that aren't straight out of a cartoon.
My point however is that in his forming years as a wrestling promoter, Vince was the promoter's son and had to bust ass and break balls to prove his worth, which in time he did.
Tony Khan doesn't have that experience.
He bought himself some talent, bought some assets like a ring and a time slot, and just started producing his teenage e-fed as if he's the big shot from the get go.
I remember all the hype for it too, Tony was right to let it get to his head, the hopes were beyond reasonable.
But seeing as he's not that great a businessman, can't manage, and has been coddled by his mom his whole life, Tony Khan wasn't a good wrestling promoter then, isn't a good wrestling promoter now, and probably won't become one.
All for one simple reason: he's not humble.
"The show is great"
"Everything is great"
"I'm great, the talent is great, the booking is great, we get a lot of feedback saying we're great, we're simply the best".
Promo's good, but all that shit about greatness simply isn't true.
