True it didn't quite work out how they planned! They expected the Warrior to be around for a long long time, perhaps Vince thought that being the top guy would some how change the Warriors attitude? However I think the experience made Vince wiser and probably began to change the business model of the WWF/WWE. He knew what kind of qualities he had to look for in new stars and he knew that he had to make changes for the long term if WWF were to be successful.
I have seen similar changes in football in the UK when purchasing players they really do their homework on the type of character they are, what kind of upbringing they had, what kind of morales they have etc every team in the Premiership approaches transfers like a Man United, Arsenal or a Chelsea.
Two very different businesses granted but it wasn't just about having 'IT' or having the talent in both football and wrestling anymore it became more about the character and principles of the person of course talent will always come into the equation but you only have to look at the roster today to see how times have changed.

Warrior is long gone and Hogan keeps coming back like a turd in a tub.
