>>9235758Brock buried Dean because he saw him as an actual threat, dude was the most over guy in the company and biggest draw and if that match went the way it should there would be no more excuses to NOT make him the guy and it would have ruined Brock’s cushy gig of showing up every 5 months to win the title and get fat checks, he and Paul went into business for themselves and convinced Vince that Dean was lazy because the way he talked and dressed despite being the hardest worker in the company
This happens in corporations all over the world, the most talented guy is often seen as a “slacker” because he knows he doesn’t have to put 1/10th of the effort everyone else does to get the same results and this pisses the asskissers who had to bust their asses off (Cena, Brock, Gaytch, Austin, etc) who all went out of their way to bury Dean and make him look bad to management because of this, it was a political move, not a personal one
