Wasn't it mostly his idea though? Yeah, it was. JR says he tried for weeks to talk both he and Vince out of it, saying it was the dumbest idea ever. And I gotta agree with JR. Vince won the war so he didnt give a damn but man oh man what a dumb move

Vince won the war so he didnt give a damn but man oh man what a dumb move Yeah, Austin felt he had run outta road as a babyface. But sometimes you just gotta go with the crowd. No matter how much you resist, no matter how much it will ruin the story you have in your head.

Vince won the war so he didnt give a damn but man oh man what a dumb move I don't remember when they started the roster split, but if he were smart, he could have had Austin as the main babyface of Raw and the Rock as the main babyface of Smackdown. Both of them wearing a World Title Belt for each brand would have been big. Then years later, you have them face off with each other. But get a few years with each guy as The Guy of their respective brands.

Austin was close to going home because of burnout and Rock had a foot out the door already for Hollywood.
