Vince McMahon is Wrestling's Puff Daddy

Comparing Vince McMahon to a Hip-Hop mogul feels strange.  Even more so given that WWE programming isn't above getting outright racist at times (I'm looking at you Lawler and Hornswoggle).  But in a lot of unexpected ways the two are very similar.  Both have brought us iconic stars (B.I.G. and The Rock), screwed their savior (Shyne and Bret), under-promoted some of their best talent (The Lox and Tyson Kidd), and benefitted from an aging demographic looking for something different (Attitude and Jiggy eras).  But a lot of that can be simply chalked up to the moves of major players in the entertainment world who were operating around the same time period.  And these are all intended consequences that were executed on purpose (work shoots).  Its the unintended consequences that are really fascinating.
