The only thing about Taker that i think is bullshit is him refusing to put Bray Wyatt over. He had 2 chances to help a young talent get over so big but chose not too. I know its Vinces final desicion but Takers input still weighs a ton.
Y2J has the most decorated career but is still willing to put pretty much anyone over. I feel like nowadays not many of the new talent really have the choice to be selfish. It's Vinces way or the highway, I doubt there is much disagreement backstage on who gets to go over. Obviously there is probably exceptions like HHH, Cena, Taker, Orton, Lesnat etc who can speak up with no issues but Im sure all the other guys don't have much of a choice.
