2 | * CreatorBacklash: He wasn't proud of his brief stint in the ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Wrestling_Federation American Wrestling Federation]]'' in 1996; A small short-lived promotion from Chicago that promised to take wrestling back to its roots applying a restrictive "Set of rules" that only produced long, boring, formulaic matches. |
3 | ** He's gone on to say that he wished his return to the WWF in 1990 went differently, as he wasn't entirely comfortable doing an anti-American heel gimmick. |
4 | * FollowTheLeader: Undoubtedly, one of the soundest business minds ever to grace the squared circle. Once he got signed with Creator/{{Hasbro}}, that didn't just meant a sweet pay-check for him, his vision allowed several of his peers to become very profitable brands by themselves. |
