This is sorta like denying the cruiserweight division did not inspire Vince to create a Light Heavyweight division because Vince at some point beforehand had used wrestlers on his shows that weighed less than 230 pounds. I don't think anyone's suggesting Vince never used smaller guys. But he never managed to get an entire division of them over the way Bischoff did. And still hasn't. Nah, that is what I was saying. I may have worded it oddly. My point was that Vince transparently copied stuff that was getting over in WCW at the time. Such as the CW division. DX seemed a lot like the nWo at first too, until it eventually morphed into its own thing. |

McMahon. Had. The. Idea. To. Use. The. Gimmick. In. Late. 1997. That's all that really needs to be said. If you don't agree on that point than leave me alone and go argue with Vince about when he decided to become WWF's top heel character. Here's a hint: He didn't decide to become WWF's top heel BEFORE the nWo had him on the verge of bankruptcy. So go argue with Vince, I'm done. Did you not watch the video? Vince clearly did the gimmic in 93/94. If the Screwjob never happened, I don't think would have went with the evil boss at all, but in the middle of the MNW, it was perfect timing. Yeah, Eric was a heel boss as well, but I think after the Screwjob, Vince and co realized what just fell in their lap and ran with it. And saying Vince had the idea in 97. Yeah, to USE the gimmick, yes, not completely coming up with the idea from scratch. The video posted earlier shows that he had an evil boss/character idea years before. That piece of solid video evidence has been no-sold the entire time, don't bother. Also, the old reliable "I'm done." routine has been utilized... which means we automatically lose the argument, regardless of our alleged video proof. Oldest trick in the book. |

I don't understand what this topic has to do with TNA anymore. No one cares about what happened 15 years ago.
This is NOW.
