Just to correct you though, Wishbone -- a few people did see money in The Rock when they first saw him. Jim Cornette definitely did, and I believe Jim Ross did too. Cornette, in particular, told Vince McMahon to present The Rock well, because he'll be your World Champion in five years. Then The Rock did it in like two. He actually had a very meteoric rise where he was presented well, so I don't know what CyNick is saying about this journeyman story for him, not that this was anyone's point to retort in the first place.

Ah, thanks for the correction, dude.
Still I think it's safe to say that almost no fans thought he'd be a big deal upon his premier, and given said premier I'd say Vince probably didn't think there was much stock in him either at first, which is all the more reason I think brushing off guys like CyNick is just stupid. We really don't know what could be until it's been tried. Although I probably don't need to tell you that.
