Whatever Nash had/did, it worked, and it got him over in the beginning of one of pro-wrestling’s hottest angles in history.
There’s still conflicting accounts of how much power he later had as booker.
Regardless of who booked what and when, Nash was just another of many victims of lame-ass angles that were forced on everybody in the company during that time.

Ultimate Warrior had potential - primarily the look that gave Vince instant wood.
UW’s problem was that he thought he was too good for the business and refused to learn and improve.
His ego finally got in the way of business, and the biggest fortune he made in the industry was when he sued Vince over his character’s name & likeness.

Hogan was the right gimmick in the right place at the right time.
He and the old man capitalized on that.
Vince had the vision…Hogan delivered the goods.
Sure, it disgusted some of the purists, but purists make up a very small percentage of a billion-dollar mainstream fan base.

Goldberg was pushed too much, too soon.
He may have been the greenest champion in a major company - hurting other guys AND himself.
Once he became a “Rock Star,” nobody dared tell him anything.
They just all tied their assholes in knots to please him & kiss his ass, and that’s why Bill never got better.
