And I don't think you can really, fairly, look back at the history of professional wrestling, all the way back to the territory days, back to when wrestling results were reported in the sports page, and come to the conclusion that Vince McMahon is some kind of crazy person that doesn't know what he's doing. Vince might be the only consistent success story in an industry with dozens upon dozens of spectaular failures.
I mean really - why isn't anyone putting out this amazing product that people on the internet imagine, with heels beating megasupertar faces clean, and lots of solid wrestling, and portraying serious fictional competition over belts, and getting rid of all sillyness like celebrities and comedy bits, etc., and making billions of dollars and getting insane buyrates for it? The only way that's really worked, long-term, is Vince's way. That certainly doesn't mean that's the "best way" for any one particular person's creative preferences, and what they like to watch on TV - but that is not the WWE's concern at all.
