Wow, that explains why he's taking selfies with indie guys and posting them on Twitter.

Because he is the VP in charge of talent and nobody tweets in character.

What is your hangup? Jesus Christ dude. NXT is awesome but we're supposed to not care because "HHH is working us all maaaaaaan...."


Remember: HHH's game is trying to get himself over as the savior of wrestling to smarks. The exact type of people who would decide to boo someone because a dirtsheet said they were the next guy, and the exact type of people who would decide to cheer someone because a dirtsheet said they were behind NXT signing indie and NJPW guys. He is the smartest player in the game, smarter than the Hulkster. I'm in awe.

That sneaky Vince trying to put himself over as a face yesterday by posing with Nakamura on Twitter right before tonight's segment

The end game to his Machiavellian plot is that he gains control of the company and implements changes to make programming more like his fan-beloved vision in NXT. Where is the problem here?

It's entirely possible that there is no problem at all, and that he'd be a much better boss than Vince. I just think it's really really funny that he's still insecure about smarks turning on him back in the day.

It was a legitimate question. I probably missed like 90% of his career and only vaguely remember him as smary son of Vince in the early 2000's who occasionally wrestled (but not that well) and promos (but not that well). Why does he rule?

Shane was a shithead during the Attitude Era but he later became likable for his impressive stunts and fun personality, then worked a major coup over a heel Vince when he bought WCW out from under him on the last Nitro ever. He's earned a lot of good cred with fans and everyone thought he was for real done with WWE forever, so returning to own the hell out of his family was a big surprise and the reason people reacted the way they did.
