    Howard - asks question
    Rock - "well ...
    Robin - akjrjfbjdjsjehed
    Howard- jahdhhrhhhfhttbr

      It was a business decision. Vince made a lot of money off that name. Everyone knows that name is ubiquitous with the WWF/E. Vince essentially gets free marketing from it.

    If Vince owes a thank you to anyone it would be The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin. They turned him and his company into a money making machine and a pop culture phenomenon. That’s why he did it.

      j.k. 123 I think Vince was grateful for everything the Rock did and how much he helped the company by how popular he got and just wanted to repay him plus he knew the bigger the Rock is the more exposure WWE will get cause he’ll always have a connection with the company

    Vince is a true genius. Like him or hate him (and I am not a fan of American Hollywood Wrestling), he can see what the chess board will look like in not just six moves ahead but six years ahead of him. Maybe it wasn't obvious to everyone but I remember being five years old watching The Mummy Returns and thinking even then, The Rock was going to be a superstar. Vince has the ability to understand talent as much as Howard does.

      I don’t see it happening. He has too many business ventures he’d have to divest from. Plus his routine of having at least 2 hours of downtime every morning to center himself wouldn’t work when he can be called to the Situation Room at a moment’s notice to handle a crisis on the other side of the world.
      But it would be interesting to see.

Vince has a reputation for not giving a shit about his guys. But by all accounts it’s the opposite. If you actually bring something to the table, he’ll be very good to you.

    Its actually pretty simple. What good does it do Vince to keep the name, Dwayne Johnson is still going to make movies and get his shine. He's too talented not to. However if he continues to use the name "the rock" it only helps vince, because anytime you hear the rock, you think WWE.
    So free promotion while also doing solid for a good person. It only makes sense.
