Honestly it's fascinating how Brock has been finessing Vince for 20 years. Got an inflated contract for developmental by using WCW as a bargaining chip despite having no intention of going to WCW, in part because of his inflated contract got called up early and given the biggest push in a decade and within months is destroying Hulk Hogan clean and beating The Rock for the title before being the face of Smackdown brand and main eventing WM a year in.
Decides fukk it he hates the schedule and bails, wins a lawsuit to get out of his contract, is a fukking walk on to the NFL, then goes to UFC and makes himself a bigger star, then Vince offers him double or triple the money to work the least amount of dates and do the least amount of work and keeps offering more and more every year for Brock to do less and less and consistently destroy his roster.
