Way too many of HHH's pet projects have turned out to be amazing for there to be any doubt left whether having him in charge will be a good thing or not.

His most public pet project was a massive bust.

If you're talking Sin Cara, wasn't that someone else's doing with HHH's name slapped on it because he had just taken over developmental?

Yes, they had been interested in him for years and made the signing all about HHH to give him an easy win. He was also attached to Kharma for the same reason.

Karma was a life issue that I don't think can be pinned on anyone. Sin Card I think was mismanagement in terms of training and style and not having experienced workers for him...and injuries...and nd history with Del Rio. That one maybe.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

It is, but at the same time Vince has the final say in creative so it's hard to say this is a good sign for the future rather than the present. Developmental and the training center are HHH projects through and through and seem like good ideas that will help the company. I don't know what they mean in terms of him being in charge of the entire company, but they are positive signs.

I assume Bryan means Money in the Bank. One of my favorite things right now is Dave and Bryan not remembering the PPV names. Dave called it "King of the Ring" on the LAW this week.

Joey Mercury is the one who's basically been working a lot with them to the point where all three guys consider him an unofficial member of the group. Wasn't he the one who actually came up with the idea too? I mean I guess technically it's a "Triple H pet project" because he's in a higher position of authority and such.

She got pregnant right after debuting on TV, then had a miscarriage late in the pregnancy which understandably devastated her emotionally. She got terribly out of shape and was in no state to return to work around six months later and was released.

Honestly that RVD Cesaro match wasn't that bad as other RVD matches have been and the set up for the US Title and Intercontinental matches are probably better than the main event, but worse than the blowoff for the 3MB Matadores feud... Yes I know that's kind of sad.
