All I hear is all this credit for Triple H and this "great job he is doing" What exactly has he done? No trolling.

Let's look at some of the arguments from TSC:

He has "revamped developmental"
This is the NXT wrestling Roster:
NXT Wrestling

The roster is 80% generic looking white dudes with some shaggy ass beards. I don't get this "revamping." People will say look to the signings of Cesaro, Chris Hero and El Generico. But reality, WWE has wanted to sign them for YEARS. Long before Triple H took over. Cesaro had visa issues, and Hero has a raised level of testerone that he had prove to them wasn't due to him taking supplements, so his signing was delayed. Generico I will give y'all, he definitely does not seem like a Vince Macmahon type of signing, so that was positive.

And don't come in here and speak about Daniel Bryan. Vince was always a fan of his and I remember reading after this first match in WWE on TV (NXT on scyfy) against Jericho that Vince said "we made a new star tonight."

Kong and Sin Cara flopped hard, and while maybe it wasn't Triple H's fault, it's still a black mark on his record.

This "Brand New Tag Team initiative":
Self Explanatory. Nothing at all came out of this. Nothing.

Change of the Diva Division
I am :dwillhuh: at this entire situation. Everyone with any name/talent has left and they have like 5 divas on the roster. Naomi's talent is being wasted.

Just want someone to come in here and show me it. I am not shytting on Triple H, maybe I am missing some stuff, but I watch wrestling pretty closely and listen to everyone's opinions here and the Observer.

Something just tells me he doing moves that are making the E less irritating. I bet he had something to do with that blow up last year about ratings.

Either way, our hopes are placed in him to carry on after Vince is gone, so let's pray he's behind a lot of the good going on right now.

'Great' is an overstatement to me, mainly because as you pointed out, a few of the things he's been credited with have pretty much flopped.

I do like the talent signings. Think they have a ton of capable guys on the roster and on the way.

Tag division push didn't pan out. Nobody except Hell No looks particularly strong right now and there's no quality tag title feud heading into Mania.

Women's division is still stale. Kharma flopped, but maybe that wasn't anybody's fault. Still, Beth pushed out the door and Nattie and Naomi reduced to backup dancers. Eve Whorres kinda retired.

on top of that, majority of this forum is absolutely crapping on Wrestlemania.

Wasn't he one of the main guys behind pushing Shield? Honestly asking this, can't remember tbh.

Still, the only thing we can really judge him is developmental and talent because those are the things we are sure he's the main guy taking decisions.

The Hero interest and problems with his signing were when Triple H was already in charge of developmental IIRC.

Claudio having visa issues was bullshyt breh. He even said so at the time and he had no trouble working in the US after being let go by Johnny Ace.

He also signed PAC, arguably the best spot monkey in the world not named Kota Ibushi.

He made Sara del Rey the head trainer for the divas. A division I have zero interest in and that I highly doubt will ever be anything more than 5 minute eye candy matches. But he made arguably the best women wrestler in the world in charge of developing the division. Can't be mad at that.

I can't give him much blame for Kong and Mistico. He signed them and gave them a huge opportunity. Them flopping was way more on them fukking up than HHH. He made sure to sign one of the best and unique women wrestlers in the business and got the biggest non WWE star in the planet.

Revamped and changed NXT to something worth a damn.


I'm FAR from a HHH fan, but ever since he's been more involved in talent relations and developmental I'm reading way more encouraging news than when Ace was in charge :manny:

So who has been on the top of the mountain since then?

What do you mean talent wise?

Cena, Orton, Punk Sheamus, Big Show Del Rio?

Sheamus was all Triple H we know that, and he is decent. A bit overrated, but he is definitely good in the spot he is in.

I mean if you want to give him credit for the Mark Henry push, but I have never heard anything about it?

The Rock signing was 100% Vince, Rock said it himself.

Maybe Triple H was the one pushed Punk so hard and had him hold the belt for so long? But that led to the worst ratings in the history of the program.

He has signed some good talent for the future. :ehh:

I don't know what happen to the Tag division. shyt was looking good. Something tells me Vince told HHH not to focus much on it. :aicmon:

Isn't it obvious? Just look at all the comedy segments Team Hell No is getting. You know that's Vince's doing. :beli:

As for the Divas division, I could of swore that HHH said he wasn't fond of Women's Wrestling.
