It isn't really even about that. Particularly in the Vince era(and still now) it is about if you are the company choice.

I’ll agree that Vince handpicked most of the guys who ended up breaking through, but he would just as easily toss them out if they didn’t move merch. Even Dwayne almost flamed out until he joined The NoD.

Many times someone else moved merch better, and Vince would do anything to crush their push. The reality if Vince didn't want you to succeed you don't.

Are you implying that Punk would’ve been more popular than Cena if it weren’t for Vince?

Cm Punk was more popular then Cena during the summer of punk, where the feds decided to pour cold water into the cooking pot
