    If there is one thing that I don’t wanna see is the metal/rock aesthetic that HHH brought into NXT.

    That’s gonna be Raw now.

    He’s probably on the phone with Bring Me The Horizon now to make a new theme song for the show.

    And here’s the thing, even if HHH starts giving more opportunities and builds new stars there’s still gonna be people that fall through the cracks. He can’t make everyone look like a million bucks the same way TK can’t. So now it’ll be more like the 90’s with people moving to both places and being successful.

    AEW were already doing amazing while also not getting super close to Raw or Smackdown. And if those shows get better that’s not gonna change. AEW and now ROH just have to keep being the best that they can be.

    Of course people are going to fall thru the cracks.

    Just look at where we are at in Vinces modern vision of wrestling. One guy on top and the rest are just a supporting cast. The last decade has been completely awful. It’s a long time coming and it seems to be the most positive thing in WWE in a very long time.

    Yeah but Steph and HHH performing a corporate coup d’état like this in a matter of days is unbelievable.

    Last year Vince stripped HHH of everything and had him scouting f***ing football players.

    Now he holds the pencil while Vince has to hide in his mansion.

    S*** is wild.

    They're beholden to shareholders and they thought this was the best move going forward.

    I still laugh at Stephanie being trashed on her leave of absence only to comeback in full force with power.

    HHH making B&G Raw and Smackdown wouldn’t work though just because AEW destroyed any idea of there being the cool rebel underground brand with a WWE logo on it.

    If anything the product is going to get a little more edge and maybe focus on wrestling a little more but that's about it

    Maybe Stephanie was being trashed because Vince knew what was coming

    I’m convinced they knew back then that this Vince s*** was gonna get out and had her resign her marketing position in the company so they could rehire her a month later as an unstained replacement for Vince.

    Or it could of been the stooges trying to weasel their way into that role instead of Steph. I don’t know how the corporate structure works in a publicly traded company but I would say that’s the most believable to me LOL

    It’s good for the business period. A rising tide lifts all ships.

    I just hope we can drop the s***ty WWE comedy humor all together. A lot of that s*** just comes out as cringe as hell. Vince is a weird dude man. Lmao

    There were rumors back then that it was Vince’s stooges trashing her.

    Could be they knew what was up and were trying to get bad press on her so the board would reconsider.

    I don’t see them going TV-14 either.

    Comcast could maybe allow it but I don’t see Fox letting blood, s***and profanity go on their network television prime time.

    I think it’s really dumb. A lot of comedy in wrestling is silly as f*** to me. Nerd humor.

    Morale backstage has to be pretty high after these changes. The people who did well in NXT but are misused on the main roster probably can't wait to pitch Hunter some new ideas lol

    Remember when Vince wanted to run a storyline where he impregnated Steph?

    Man kept submitting his s*** in for Emmy’s thinking he was Baz Luhrmann or some s***.

    The miscommunication between Black and Gold NXT / Main Roster WWE is what got me to stray away from WWE as a whole. Stars getting called up and killed because Vince didn’t understand them because they didn’t look the part.

    Here’s the thing.

    This HHH promotion won’t be good for everyone.

    Swerve made it clear how he felt he had reached his limit in NXT because HHH didn’t see him as one of his top guys, no matter how much he tried to endear himself to HHH in meetings.

    People are still gonna get misused and will need to to be great elsewhere.
