I saw this quote from Raven today and I thought he was pretty much right on point. It's something I have thought about and mentioned previously but I couldn't quite come up with as clear of a way to explain it like Raven did here.
Is he right though? Has Vince & co. made the WWE company/brand itself the focus/star instead of talent like Rock, Austin, Hogan, etc.? If so, have they done so to their own detriment? It seems like that way to me, at least it's maybe ONE of several major issues/mistakes over the years. Feel free to discuss.

By making it about the company and it’s all about the WWE that way you can lose any people and it is not going to harm the company and take away from the ratings or the money drawn. But by not having guys like The Rock or Austin or a Dusty Rhodes or Jim Londos or major stars on the show they are what draws the ratings.”
