Y2J is smart.
He juiced when it benefitted him, and got off when he no longer needed it.
He strategically takes time off, giving his face and body a rest, AND affording him a chance to pursue other endeavors.
He avoids doing stupid shit in the ring because he knows he's established and has proven himself. He does only what he needs to do to collect a paycheck, and has put wrestling in its proper perspective. He doesn't do it for ego; he does it for money.
And, since wreslting is a business, I'm reminded of the words of the late great Gorilla Monsoon: "If you're in business for any reason other than money, you're a fool."
