> Given his tendency toward selective memory and multi-tiered historical revisionism, is it possible that Vince has convinced himself that he created the likes of Hogan, Austin, Rock and Cena (arguably the Mt. Rushmore of WWE-centric pop-cultural torchbearers, their respective technical or personal shortcomings notwithstanding) out of whole cloth and as such, need only say, "Roman Reigns, I choose you" in order to catch lightning in a bottle on demand? This despite the fact that Austin, Rock and Cena all experienced mid-card growing pains of one stripe or another, and that Hogan–while "Vince’s Guy" from the get-go–was already a huge star with an established persona by the time he was handed the Brass Ring (TM).

I feel like that is very much his thought process.
