During an appearance on the Marking Out podcast, former WWE star MVP commented on the idea of a “brass ring” in WWE…

“There’s no reaching up and grabbing the brass ring. The brass ring is slipped onto your finger; they pick who they want to be that person because if you look through the years, lots of people have organically gotten themselves over and they weren’t pick by the empire to get over. Organically, he [Daniel Bryan] got himself over to the point that all of the fanbase said ‘we like this guy’ and they forced the office’s hand.”

“Typically, the push comes from, you’re a talent that the office looks at says ‘this person has the characteristics that we like for our brand and we wanna make this person our brand ambassador.’ When they put the company title on you, what they’re saying is ‘we are investing in you to be our brand ambassador.'” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingInc.com)
