[@psychobluesfxt]

@Euroheat0022 Being real if Ricardo's description of HHH holds true today, WWE will probably die with Vince. Vince was able to keep WWE afloat just not through force of will but because he is able to placate disgruntled talent and make them feel like they're part of something worth the headache, like he did with Curtis Axel in this story. HHH strong-arming guys into compliance like described here isn't going to fly if he expects to retain talent. I say this as a big HHH fan: he might have a keen eye for talent and does well as a booker, but there's way more to it than that when running a major promotion on an international scale. HHH would be better off splitting Vince's duties to other specialists.

All the bad creative goes through Vince. All the bad ideas are Vince. Scripts getting ripped up right before Raw or Smackdown goes on the air, that's Vince. Vince is the root of all WWE's problems. If you don't think so then you're even more clueless than Vince. And you are most certainly an idiot on top of that.

[@al5306]

@@godphoenix66x The "problems" you say they have aren't really that big of a deal. At the end of the day, it hasn't affected their bottom line ($$$). Q2 of 2020 was better than Q2 of 2019. They're still turning profits during a pandemic. RAW is in the top 5 most watched cable shows every week. Network subs are up too. The "quality" of their product is just something for smart mark fans to complain about on the internet as a hobby. It really doesn't mean anything.

I totally agree man, Alex Riley was getting OVER during his break up with The Miz, i was Hot for that guy all of a sudden he was off tv after the match with The Miz FOOK WWE and their conspiracy! The only true stars since like 2005 is Cena and Reigns and thats it everyone else are just background noise

[@jamesb8619]

Cena is the reason alex riley lost his push in wwe In other words fuck cena and the wwe

[@paullevine2834]

@@jamesb8619 No Cena was the "Worker", Vince and creative are the problem You dont have many mid carders and main eventers now, its just Reigns and thats it, they building Drew right now but i wouldnt be surprised if they threw his push down the toilet aswell, i havent watched WWE for a while since like Wrestlemania and the Mania show was trash too Im really into All Elite, Many Mid carders and Main eventers like Kennry Omega Hangman Jericho Jon Moxley Brian Pillman Jr (Dark) Young Bucks MJF Wade Barrett could have also gotten on a whole other level but he was also wasted! He was a good team player WWE just dosent know anything about pro wrestling, they are just looking for another Hulk Hogan/Cena/The Rock and thats it, they built on one guy and one guy only and its trash, who wants to see Roman Reigns every week doing the same shit cena has been doing since 2006

@@paullevine2834 Roman Reigns earned his spot since 2017 at least, especially now as a heel. Drew as a new star has been great. It's not as bad as before where it was Super Cena.

[@Traveling290]

The same reason why Vince doesn't want Shane to be in charge, is because I see Shane as this guy who would give everyone TV time and possibly creative control and cut the use of written promos. Coz you see when Shane was given more TV time, he made a great storyline for himself and showing how being the son of a boss is like. He showed that with the miz, Aj and Roman storylines and u swear many Shane mcmahon promos were from his head. And you saw how hard he tried to create TV time for other wrestlers with raw underground. I don't know why Vince would choose Hhh over Shane 😕

[@Hakimi655]

Hhh did well with NXT (not now, few months ago)

[@OzzyOscy]

Shane likes things Vince doesn't. He's big on the indie stuff, the ECW and MMA stuff. HHH is old school and from Vince's era - he idolises Harley Race. Shane has to throw himself off a cell just to get attention from his dad now!
