At first I thought he was being a touch harsh and while the likes of Malenko, Rotundo, Road Dogg etc certainly have a place as Road Agents it does puzzle me why you wouldn't be consulting with the likes of Bret and Austin even on a freelance type basis, guys who understand the main event style.
Probably the same reason with wrestler trainers and sports in general with the lack of big name stars carrying over into other areas after their regular careers are over. Money is probably the biggest reason which is something big stars don't really need to worry about unless your a Ric Flair type.

Some like Goldberg and Stone Cold are happy being retired and don't see the motivation to continue while others like Hogan and Lesnar likely only consider it if it results in more big paychecks. Then you have others like The Rock who want to go in a completely new direction after their wrestling career.
