On the Marathon...

I don’t think Vince going national and killing the territories is what actually fucked up the business. Someone else may have handled the situation better in the long run. Or maybe not. We’ll never know. We do know what Vince did though. He built his “sports entertainment” empire at the expense the wrestling business.

No one else may have had the short-term vision to bring it to the highs it’s seen but would they also bring it to the lows? By any metrics that can be compared less people care about wrestling now than maybe ever before. And that happened while Vince was king.
