Ok, I see both arguments here and in reality, it's an argument that can never be one because both sides are talking about two completely different aspects in the world of business.
I see Kayfabe Man's point about Brock coming in, getting pushed the top rather quickly at other's expense and then saying fuck it. But this argument is based on ethics/morality and goodwill. Yea, from an ethical standpoint, it might be the wrong thing to do, but when has Vince McMahon ever been ethical anyway? That guy is the personification of "unethical."
With CyNick's point, it's strickly business. Brock did his job and left. In a business sense, there is nothing wrong with that. Wasn't his fault the WWE pushed him pretty quick. They do that a lot these days with guys. Brock tookthe oppurtunity the WWE gave him and I'm sure most of us would have done the same. Yea, guys whohave busted thier asses for years and never got that kind of push are going tobe pissed, but that's one of life's realities. It happens every day in business and sometimes it's bullshit.
So the real argument here is was it right for Brock to leave? And it's just a matter of opinion and a question that can be debated forever.
Personally, I had no problems with Brock leaving. He did what he wanted to do for a while and then wanted to do something else. How can you deny a guy the way he wants to live his life? Yea, I agree he was a dick for not giving them a warning a time beforehand that he was leaving, but I guess it was just a sudden thing.
With Austin, that guy helped put nobody over during the end of his career. Not one guy. Hell, did he ever put anybody over one time? Maybe Rock, but I would even argue Rock and HHH got themselves mega-over by wrestling each other. Austin never really did a dam thing for a guy coming up. Taz, RVD, Booker T, what happened there? Austin's going around stunning everybody every single night when he wasn't even wrestling anymore. Yea, that's great.
That's while I'll always argue Bret and Flair are the two greatest wrestlers of all-time, because they made money for companies when they were on top and they put thier companies in positions to make more money when thier careers were coming to the end of thier careers as far as being able to go every night.
