Bret main evented 3 WrestleManias, but many times during Bret's career he did not main event pay per views as champion.

Survivor Series 92
King of the Ring 94
Summer Slam 94
Survivor Series 94
Ground Zero 97
Bad Blood 97


I think this shows how Bret was never Vince's ideal choice to be champion.

And to be fair, Bret did main event a few ppv's when he wasn't champion or wrestling the champion.

What do you think of this? Was Vince wrong for not trusting Bret, or do you agree with Vince?

SS 92 he was stuck with a young HBK who had just won the ic title and had been a single's wrestler fir less than a year. KOTR 94 was due to Jim Neidhardt turning heel and so the tournament winner went after the title match which was a DQ featuring Diesel in his first match of any significance in WWF. Summerslam 94 was because it was Taker's first return and appearance since the 94 Rumble, although Bret vs Owen should have closed the show. SS 94 was because he dropped the title to Backlund and Vince wanted the fans to go home happy. Ground Zero and Bad Blood was due to the fact they only have 4 main eventers in Hart, Taker, HBK and Austin and Austin was recovering from a broken neck at Summerslam while HBK and Taker were against each other while Bret was stuck with the Patriot, a new guy who no one bought as a serious threat.
That makes sense. Still, it's odd how many times it happened.
