I read in one of the wwe mags at some point, Something along the lines of he wasn't that hot and didnt rate Cena and thought he was a horrible wrestler when he first came to the E. And he said the same thing on his dvd. But that was when he 1st came. Since then, Ive also read or heard him say. He is the most hardest working loyal passionate guy in the wwe. He works his arse of for the company, He is a good role model type thing for the wwe something like that. At the end of the day HHH, HBK, Hell even God himself can have all the say about pushing or not pushing certain stars. But in the end it's Vince that has the final say. And if he see's something and HHH doesn't or vise verser then what Vince think is going to be the final decision. So it really doesn't matter who leads the locker room or who is banging steph. They can have there say but it dont mean jack really.
