HE'S NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Again, its a marketing thing with him. Vince has done this over the years and is why Vince has been one of the few bookers to have as long of a tenure as he has had (yes being the son and owner has helped)
I really wish I could break the code of not naming undrafted guys as I can easily rattle off a ton of guys that have drawn big houses over the years relative to the finances of the times. Hell, I'd even ignore Japan and focus on Mexico/USA/Canada. Like MIkey put, if Sting(his blade runners teammate) would've gone to Vince, Vince would've made Sting absolutely massive, and Sting had "it". The Ultimate Warrior completely lacked "it". Hell, I'd even say that John Cena has way more "it" then Jim Hellwig
edit: I'm horribly frustrated that I can't name the guy I want to name, as he's been insanely ignored in this draft
double edit: okay, finally Harley Race got picked. How on earth has he lasted this long when the Warrior got picked. He's the guy I was lobbying for deezy and I to pic with our second pick, but he wouldn't neccessarily work well with Eddie
