I've always been of the opinion that even if it wasn't Vince, the territories would still be dead. With the advent of cable, that model just couldn't endure. I agree. It was going to happen eventually, Vince McMahon just had the foresight to get out ahead of things. If it wasn't the WWF, it would've been the NWA with its deal with the Superstation. If it wasn't NWA, it would've been the AWA with its deal with ESPN.

It really does come off like Vince is full of shit on 90% of what he's saying. Yeah I mean I'm enjoying the show a lot, but holy crap some of these are REALLY business-y answers. I feel like punk questions and stuff like that he's honest about but the booking questions are bullshit

"I understand the common man". That's the best quote of this show. Dusty Rhodes: Vince you don't know me at all...

When Vince says there is no heat from his side,or no anger i like to think it means"i have no heat with these guys,all they have to do is bend over to me"

"I understand the common man". That's the best quote of this show. I think he meant to say "lowest common denominator."

I've always been of the opinion that even if it wasn't Vince, the territories would still be dead. With the advent of cable, that model just couldn't endure. Yep. Here's the thing - McMahon truly didn't kill the territories; they died on their own. I hate saying that, but they did. Did he broach their regions? Yes. Did he take their talent? Yes. But he didn't kill them. Even losing Hogan, Ventura, Okerlund and Heenan, Gagne could have survived but he didn't because he couldn't adapt to the times. World Class was dying right alongside its base family. Portland had to deal with a horrendous athletic commission. Etc., etc. McMahon certainly wounded many of them, but most of them delivered their own killing blow.
