Fair enough, but let's take the Ultimate Warrior for example. I think he's a fu**ing assh*le who deserved every bit of spite on that Self-Destruction DVD. However, I won't deny he had a unique character that got over to the point where he would be a big draw enough to carry the company as best as he could following the footsteps of Hulk Hogan.
Now, Ultimate Warrior's reason is the same. Integrity and all that since he was disrespected and Vince downplaying his success (the only part of the DVD that I disagreed with).
However, Vince was willing to let bygones be bygones and offered Warrior the headline spot of the HOF 2010 class because he knows Warrior was a big draw. Warrior should've taken it. Now, people may think Vince would've won by Warrior having to swallow his pride, but if anything, Warrior would've won by accepting since it would've shown that WWE was wrong about him and essentially it would've been Warrior giving the finger right back since there was a time where Vince didn't want him in the Hall of Fame.
