This must be said…

Here’s my take with the current Bryan conversation.  Look at it from Vinces perspective.  You’ve built the most dominant wrestling empire in North American history by sticking to a specific philosophy: value and position a big charismatic guy as the face of your company, protect him at all costs, build the wwe brand, and watch the money pile up.

Since they expanded in 84, there have only ever been 3 “made men” who got to carry the torch for any duration…Hogan, Austin, Cena.  When he positioned smaller “primarily workrate” guys as the face of the company, Bret and Shawn, business wasnt as good.  There were complexities in Shawns and Brets runs, but it seems that 1+1=2 in this scenario.  If you are Vince, why would you ever change from your standing philosophy?  Look at where it’s gotten you…the conquering promotion of North America.

EDIT: I know Austin wasn’t huge, measuring out at about 6’2.  My point was he’s big enough to fit into Vinces ideal on what a main event guy should look like.  Bryan doesnt.

Do I like Bryan, fuck yea.  But for people to act like it’s ABSURD for Bryan not to be positioned better or pushed into Cena spot is almost delusuonal.  Do we really think we know more then Vince freaking McMahon as far as when it comes to evaluating talent, drawing ability, long term potential, etc?

Does it suck that Bryan is being held from Cenas spot because he’s 4 inches short? For people like us, sure it sucks.  But is it a STUPID philosophy as so many people are implying?  You know what…I don’t know.  I tend to give someone like Vince McMahon the benefit of the doubt in making these decisions, because you know…he’s only the most successful wrestling promoter.  EVER

Just one mans opinion on it.  If I’m wrong on giving Vince the benefit of the doubt on this, let me know your line of thought.
