Reminder that Vincent James McMahon tried to get the belt off of Pedro Morales "really quick" (because the Puerto Ricans didn't realize that northeast US isn't Puerto Rico and were throwing rocks and batteries, trying to stab talent, and stabbing each other at shows) and took over a thousand motherfucking days to do it. This is why Vincent Kennedy McMahon hates sticking with shit and always changes his mind unless things are going swimmingly or people are legit hating on him and he wants to punish them for not liking his ideas.
