its worth noting that what killed the territories was vinces efforts with the MTV audience as much anything.

the impact of rock n wrestling is nearly completely forgotten but even beyond that he's always had an eye for using popular culture to raise the value of his own product and its exactly for that effort that wrestling has ever existed in the popular culture in any meaningful way, at least on a national scale.

i could write for days on how bad his actions were to the industry for the prosperity on the individual workers but whats done is done and the world we live in is the world that he molded and it cant be undone. any promotion that actually wants to be a contender for the top spot is going to have to live in that world or be so visionary that it changes the industry in a radical way like vince did himself.
