One thing I’ve seen said around here through the years is we’ll never see a cross over star again like we got with The Rock and Batista because Vince McMahon won’t allow it.
What did that mean? The Rock crossed over because he’s just that charismatic and that talented a human being. For Vince to suffocate that type of natural aura would have been bad for business.
But at the same time, Vince and the WWE fans are not the only ones who could clearly see The Rock’s greatness. So of course Hollywood was gonna call.
I get why an egomaniac and selfish business man like Vince would not want that to happen; he’d want to keep The Rock’s shine to himself and benefit from it himself. But he can’t stop what’s inevitable with a guy like that.
But considering you guys were implying he could and actively was eliminating the possibility of anyone becoming a star outside of WWE, what was he doing exactly to stop that lol?
If a person has sauce, how would Vince stifle them from spreading their wings beyond the WWE nest? What did another Rock never gonna leave to greener pastures if Vince had anything to say about it look like?
And before anyone mentions Cena becoming a star, that’s also after the WWE got absolutely everything they could out of him
Cena became a star in his 40s. That’s late for a guy as talented and likable as he is. Vince worked that nikka like a dog before he finally let him go. Cena prolly threatened to release footage of Vince

He wouldn't care.
