They didn't backstab anyone to get there, though. That's the problem. He's been waiting for 6 years for someone to finally get on with it and be a backstabbing, politicking son-of-a-bitch who pisses all over the rest of the locker room, and the closest he's got is freaking Enzo Amore, who's not a backstabber, more really just an annoying-as-all-hell git. Sami Zayn? Just have him stab Kevin Owens in the back and cut a promo taking a shit all over the locker room. Vince: Sign him up!!

I have a deep (and apparently shameful) love for Kane. That aside, I think Vince has reached an age where his thinking is very set, and he doesn't want to take chances, he wants to go with what he knows works. The problem is, he's looking at what worked 10-20 years ago and expecting it to still work now, and it doesn't. In Vince's mind, why take a chance pushing an unknown quantity like Balor, when he 'knows' Kane works? People liked him decades ago, they'll like him now. And when forced to push a new guy he picks Roman, the closest thing he has to the Rock, because the Rock worked. So again, in his head, we're wrong for not liking Roman, because we liked the Rock, goddammit. The irony is people would like Roman if Vince just backed off and let him be himself. He ruined Roman the moment he had Roman talking, making jokes, and watering him down from being the badass silent enforcer. Fans LOVED the Roman that walked through the crowd, didn't talk, looked badass, and you knew when he stepped in the ring someone was getting their ass kicked. That's the Roman fans wanted to get behind. That's always been Vince's prototypical face though. Yeah Hogan was just being Hulk but look at Diesel, Shawn Michaels, John Cena, that is what Vince views as the best way to write a Main Event Face.
