>Left the 'E because he didn't want to put Brock over because it would hurt his gimmick
Why do people always bring up Bret Hart when they talk about self marks and not Austin?

he thought the match was bigger then a TV match and should be on PPV if brock was the future. (i agree) Tho walking out was a bit 2 far.
Bret just wanted to win. Steve wanted to make money
Every single wrestler is a self mark. Even Dwayne. He may not have been one at the time but now he’s just as much of a mark for himself as anyone.
That's a bullshit excuse. Austin doing the job on tv would have both pushed Lesnar and built up a future rematch on ppv, especially if Lesnar didnt win 100% clean and they did a storyline where Austin wasn't at his best or didnt take the rookie seriously. If you want to make money you dont walk out of the company
Fuck off. Lesnar was a shitter that would have been jobbed out had he arrived 3 years earlier. Austin was right not to put him over. Austin single-handedly saved Vince’s company and he’s repaid by having a midcard nothing much at WM18 and then being asked to job to some roid freak on Raw.
It was just a King of the ring match. they had no plans to go back to it. Brock was going straight on to rock. It was going to be %100 clean. i think he overreacted but i get where he's coming from. But Hogan did the job on TV and it's not like one lose is going to kill Stone Cold
>Too big to lose on TV
Marks
>Austin was right not to put him over
LMAO
Lesnar was going to get the push whether Austin put him over or not, his decision to run away barely affected Lesnar at all. Instead by staying he could have had a longer program with Lesnar or whoever and actually draw a dime or two for the company, but being the self mark he is he couldnt accept the fact that he cant carry the company anymore and should pass the torch to the new guys. The simp just didnt want to look weak in a fake fighting show
Did he beat Hogan 100% clean though? But yeah, I'm sure they didnt have any plans and he was going straight to the rock, but the rematch would have written itself and could have been done later
i mean they had a PPV between KOTR and Rock where he lost by DQ for the IC title.So putting Stone cold in that spot would of been great. And Hogan passed out in a bearhug so pretty clean
