I'll sum up Vince's philosophy here:
"We listen to our audience in order to to give them what they want...except for when we think it's not what they really want. We give them what they really want...and if they don't like it they're critics, and we don't care what critics think."
It was a great show/interview and Vince almost had me convinced that he isn't massively out of touch. Until you think back to the start of the year, when
every arena they went to was going wild for Bryan...and they had him pencilled in for a match against Sheamus at Mania.
Cesaro is another one. Yeah, I agree he's not great on the mic, but he got over inspite of that. Find a work around. Don't kill the momentum.
And the whole deal about how "nobody in the back wants it nowadays"? What!? You're telling me a guy like Ziggler who goes out there and bumps like crazy every night, trying to steal the show every night, doesn't do it to get noticed? Because he's hungry?
I get the feeling Vince thinks everybody should be like him; a top-dog, alpha male who will trample anybody to get what he wants (then act like it was their fault they got trampled), so when you have a guy like Bryan - who's allegedly quite laid-back - he passes him off as "not wanting it bad enough".
I dunno. It was a great listen, and it'd make a great series of interviews but there were some things that just didn't sit right/make sense. Maybe Vince has toe the line too much to conserve public image.
