1 - Vince McMahon made his own stars. He didn't want anyone else taking any credit when he had all the top stars on national TV. Dusty Rhodes was his competition at one point and once he was let go by Jim Crockett Promotions, Vince brought him in since he was a big name but totally humiliated him by having him wear black and yellow polka dots and fishing turds out of toliets. Basically saying the top guys from the NWA era were nothing in the "big time".
2 - Ric Flair. Suppose you can say Terry Funk now too.
