The only redeeming factor of 2000 HHH, I'd that even when he was pushed as a monster over everybody, once in a while he would look like a total rube against random guys like Taka Michinoku

The entire HHH/Bryan feud was fantastic (aside from Steph). I honestly really liked the Sting/HHH feud aside from the stupid finish at WrestleMania. HHH is what made the HHH/Roman feud mildly interesting. Plus his character simply works a lot better in this current role.

He runs talent recruitment, is in charge of the performance center (Google it, if you're unfamiliar) and is indeed in charge of the creative team, the writers, the on-road producers, etc.

He's the head booker for NXT and also picks out who they sign. He has a role in creative on the main roster, although the head booker is still Vince. He's also a character on the show.

Vince still has final say on anything that happens on the main roster (he has no involvement with NXT beyond calling up performers to the main roster).

Stephanie is the Chief Brand Officer, which is basically a Public Relations position for executives who own a lot of stock (despite the fact that Steph also has a PR rep for herself, she is the PR rep for WWE). She's also a character on the show.

Shane is literally just a character who happens to own a few million dollars in shares.

Triple H is essentially being groomed to takeover the company when Vince is gone.

It's a hard sell for the board of directors, which is why he's running NXT. So experience can trump his lack of education.

I don't think it's that hard of a sell because Vince, Steph and HHH are on the board themselves and have a controlling majority of the company.

Vince uses the Billionaire Steroids that don't cause you to randomly die, so he'll be around for a long time.

Not as well as NXT, probably. Main show stuff will have more mouths to feed than NXT in terms of appealing to networks and shareholders. If HHH can boot out most of the current regime in favor of some fresh people, its a start. HHH at least manages to keep NXT feeling consistent most of the time, which is one thing WWE does need.

The only worry I have about if/when HHH takes over is that HHH seems to hold a grudge way more than Vince does.

what did 2000-2002 triple h do other than not do the job for anyone?
Click to expand...

the godlike matches with foley

the return in 2002

those alone shit on authority hhh

but to be more specific, it would be 2000 heel hhh (where he did actually do the job when necessary. backlash was the real mania that year!), 2001 before the quad injury, right until mania x8... then it was all downhill from there.

I think the problem is that NXT is a lot easier to book and market than the main roster is. The biggest mouth to feed is the USA network, which HHH isn't dealing with in NXT. There's also the problem that NXT's production, talent and marketing budget has gone way up, but that doesn't mean its profitable.

I actually don't understand why NXT isn't marketed to USA as a television program. It has commercial breaks during matches already and it has perfectly competent production values.

Maybe the wwe doesn't want USA to have nxt. The only reasons I sub to the network is for nxt and pay per views. If nxt goes to TV the network may lose a lot of subs.

But NXT isn't exclusive to the network to begin with. It's been on Hulu for way longer than the network existed and Hulu's already a better value than the WWE network since it also has the edited raw and smackdowns.

That's true. Maybe it's just a hard sell for the wwe. It is a development league after all. USA may not care all that much about it.

I see Bret Hart is busy putting over himself, his family and his countrymen (roughly in that order) again.

Hopefully the NXT taping sets up Joe/Nakamura because they have absolutely nothing going and random Nakamura/jobber matches ain't cutting it.

WWE needs moire characters like dude love. More specifically WWE needs dude love to come back and be an announcer or something.

But for real, I want Mick Foley to be an announcer for some reason.

Why is Corbin/Ziggler on the PPV; Becky Lynch/Emma would legit get more heat than a freakin' Corbin match.

I have a feeling that Corbin is dead on the main roster and Ziggler will again have killed an NXT call-up just like he did with Breeze.
