And indeed the "latter Vince" era. Remember when Claudio was coming up at first, and he looked like a really promising dude that people were starting to get hyped about? Then Cena came out, said something about "pepperoni nipples" and signaled to everyone "don't worry about this guy, we're going to make him a joke from here on out." That's not even the most egregious example, but it's a stark one for sure.
