The owner of the company calls his own fans a universe. He bans phrases that he doesn't like. He has "Longest Running Episodic Show In Television History," placard on all the scripts. He is convinced that everyone else is out-of-touch, not him.
See the pattern. Vince is a control freak. Remember Tout? Remember Fan-Nation? This old dude can't do things like a regular person, why didn't he just use Twitter, IG, Facebook-- you know, everything that was popular at the time. It's because if he doesn't have a say or control over it, he'll feel uncomfortable. Dude just has a massive inferiority complex, which has served him well at times. I mean, dude is successful. But, the worst thing that somebody could do to him is walk-away from his world. The deeper meaning to this is that the person manages to do it without any of his help.
shyt, let's take Rock, since he was mentioned. Vince actually had some control over Rock's movies and was pissed when Rock was taking parts that he didn't approve. When Rock's contract came up, they didn't re-sign him. shyt, they didn't even call him back. This is around the time that people on the internet were mad that Rock never mentioned wrestling, during his little Disney run. WWE was comfortable with letting people force that narrative because it painted them like the good guys. shyt, look at what happened to Punk, they sent a fed-ex on his wedding day, then saved face. Granted, Punk hasn't done himself any favors since then, but people forget that Vince and his empty promises were the main sources to a lot of Punk's anger and bitterness.
If it's not in Vince's plans, he'll do whatever it takes to sabotage it and deflect the blame to the person he fukked over. It infuriates him when someone does things that he cannot control. So he uses the one advantage he has, and that's a loyal fanbase that won't leave partially because he's the only big game in town.
Bruh, I would've smacked the shyt out of Vince for making me do some shyt like this.
