But again, Foley was main eventing near record setting cards in terms of ratings, PPV buys, crowds etc... and RVD was not

When you say "ring preformer" what are you talking about? I don't understand what you consider ring preformance?

Not saying Foley wasn't/isn't loved mind you. Just saying. You see this arguement all the time used against Indy wrestlers, but it's bogus. You can't hold it against the guy that he doesn't work for Vince. He can't control that and that fact is the only thing keeping him from working in front of said numbers. That comes to down to luck mostly, right place, right time, right opportunity.

Unless of course you're implying that all the good talent finds it's way to the Fed which is crazy talk. I mean hell if thats the case, explain all the shitty wrestlers on Vinces card. lol. Fact is some of the most talented wrestlers in the world don't make it all the way and for whatever reason tons of shitty ones do. Kissed enough ass (or in most cases sucked enough dick [and no I dont just mean the divas.]) It has VERY little to do with talent and WAY more to do with connections.

But this argument is even more useless against RVD seeing as the fed and WCW offered him contracts on numerous occasions and he turned them down because he beleived in ECW. And had they had better financial care I still beleive it would have the best move for him both artistically and proffesionally. Not saying his bank account would look the same, but Im sure he would have been MUCH more happy being LOVED by the always growing number of ECW than liked (and sometimes loved) by the masses WWF offerd as he had been all the way up until they folded...and he'd still be better than Foley
