Alain Post posted:I'm sure all the bad parts of RAW, are Vince and Kevin Dunn's fault, and all the good parts belong to HHH, who does not actually book NXT. The multiple show opening speeches by Triple H which highlight how cool he is are not written by Triple H, but by Vince, and they reflect just how cool and strong Vince thinks he is.

projecthalaxy posted:Me too, but genuinely, and HHH is the sole writer for NXT. Stephen Guerrieri (who oddly used to write for the Food Network and Rachel Ray) is the NXT writer now, replacing Ryan Ward. By all accounts, HHH is NXT's Vince, he reviews everything before it's filmed...but unlike Vince, he actually trusts what the people under him are doing and makes very few changes.

How many times did Roman Reigns say "tater tots?" I am genuinely curious, plus I want to drive the person who has to count it insane by rewatching it.

They should hire Jim Cornette, have him write a script/booking sheet for NXT and then have HHH tear it up in front of him every single week. Put it on YouTube.

I think there's gonna be some growing pains. They need to essentially groom a new crop of stars fast. I mean yes, they should have done this much much sooner but now they have to do it. Maybe i'm being a dumb optimist but I can see the product being much better towards Wrestlemania and going forward from there.

The #1 difference between Vince and HHH is that HHH, by most accounts, trusts people to do their own jobs.

The problem with WWE is that it's like a movie that's directed, produced, written, casted, marketed, shot, edited, and everything else except starring a single man, who is old and senile and stubborn as gently caress.

The big problem is when people suggest HHH is fixing everything Nothing's gonna get fixed. People will still be mistreated, writing will still be horrible, just because a different guy will be in charge won't mean 3 hours magically doesn't feel as drawn out, he'll still give himself a big onscreen role. The big problems will still be there, the not-so-big problems (who loves Reigns? HHH. who loves Sheamus? HHH) will still be there, and NXT and WWE will remain two completely separate things (he even pointed that out himself because one's viewed by a niche audience, the other by mainstream) Just because it won't be as major poo poo doesn't mean it'll suddenly not be poo poo. Don't call anybody the savior here because this isn't a fairytale, there isn't going to be a completely happy ending. TNA will still be around and WWE's major problems will be untouched

So what is the card for TLC? Wyatts vs ECW: Table Elimination Match Charlotte vs Paige : Divas Championship Match ADR vs Swagger: Chairs Match (assumed) Owens vs Ambrose: Intercontinental Title Match New Day vs Usos vs Lucha Dragons: Ladder Match for Tag Titles Roman vs Sheamus: TLC Match for WWE WHC Am I missing anything? It'll probably be another good card with bad writing.
