McMahon couldn't get out of his own way. Kept working gimmicks and angles, when he needed stronger (much stronger) football operations.

His marketing acumen is unquestioned, but he played a heel, instead of actually working the positive angles and being a serious ambassador. If the football were better (say, if that second game were the 54 million premiere), the league would have had a better chance.

This. Man, if they had just given 1 more year to prep and started in 2002 instead. What would have happened?

Well, he'd just defeated and bought WCW, his main rival. It's understandable if he felt bulletproof at that time.
