Vince also says his personal hero is Martin Luther King Jr and has booked racial storylines way into the 2010s, so yeah.

Apparently, Vince McMahon thinks his personal tastes in wrestlers aren't what appeals to the masses. Like if that's to be believed, he's a big workrate nerd and loves the smaller, technical guys like Danielson. Wouldn't be surprised if that's why he pushed so hard with Bret and HBK in the mid-90's after Hogan left. He also had the Katie Vick storyline because he wanted to introduce "mature" and nuanced angles, and Kane was his favorite character, so he felt it should be something he did first with Kane. This, despite Triple H and others trying to talk him out of it, and Vince often shooting down angles in the past with "That's not what Kane would do", only to then do a storyline that was in directly conflict with his established origins. Vince is a very weird man.

So wasn’t Bryan one of Vince’s favorite wrestlers? And a guy that Vince genuinely cared about? So why was he so hell bent on not giving him his Mania 30 moment? Maybe the personal connection didn’t happen until after the Mania 30 moment? Mania 30 was 2014, Danielson left the company in 2021. That’s 7 years for a close personal relationship to develop Not just that but there's a difference between "big fan of his work and cares about him personally" to "wants him to headline his biggest show". One really has nothing to do with the other.
