No, it was Tom McGee until he actually got hold of him. Vince really thought that dude was going to be his next Hogan.

That was Lex Luger and it didn't work. Warrior got himself over.

Bret should have never made him look good. It's Bret's fault that Vince was fooled.

No, but the A&E doc gave you the impression he was Vince's pet project more than anyone else

Vince values in ring ability more than people give him credit for. He just recognized some guys like Warrior and Sid were so over it didn't matter if they were the shits.

Not saying there weren't a couple of Harts, Hennig, Steamboat, Backlund, or Savage whose careers were made in WWF. Those are just off the top of my head. Vince has almost always eschewed the wrestling part of pro-wrestling for """""""""""'entertainment"""""""""""""""

Compare those guys to companies that emphasized more of the wrestling side

UW was the perfect entertainment wrestler for Vince and he was too dumb and greedy to go through with it without fucking him over with property rights. He was a better Hulk than Hulk, all about preaching that healthy vitamins life style as a character and got the marks in with his energy. The original Boogs out.

Sid wasn't an in ring master but hardly the shits and Hellwig worked brilliantly around his shortcomings. Don't watch how he works the match watch how he works the crowd.

I'd rather have the steak than the sizzle.
