Still though.
Outside interference is legal so I mean, it's still not much worse to me than Cena having Rock beat and then showboating and blowing it.
Austin won via stronger social links and Rock won because Cena's judgment was clouded. They're both kinda unrelated directly to the raw skill of the wrestler and similar in my eyes. It's not like Austin didn't plan for Vince to help or anything. Like, if a scheming heel uses his manager to help he retain in a no DQ match, is that tainted too? Or is he simply using his assets? It'd be different if Vince randomly showed up and just screwed with the match, or if Austin cheated, but neither happened. To me they're similar levels of taint.

No problem!
