I wanted to do something like this since HHH took over but wanted to wait a little bit to give him time a to seetle into his new role. But now it's been 4 months which i feel it's a great time to see how he's doing as of now. I will put 3 good point and 3 bad point .
So here we go.
First the bad stuff
1. Bringing way too many new faces: since August, HHH brought in 12 new wrestlers to the roster plus a few rebranding and quite frankly, it's been very underwhelming. Outside of bray Wyatt and Braun strowman, nobody is still over with the crowd. Even the last 2 they brought back, Mia yim and Emma had almost no fans reaction. This as been a real failure on his part I think. Nothing against any of the returning talent but the fact the NXT crowd loved those guys, doesn't mean that they will be over with a wwe which is a very different crowd.
2. Raw is still awful: I get that HHH got stuck with that whole 3 hour raw but at the same time, he had a chance to change how they did programming. Instead, he decided to continue with booking a good 2 hour show and a crappy third hour. Also, all the crappy stories seem to be on raw. From the whole miz/lumis stuff to boring feud that are lasting way too long and are starting to get boring like the whole damage ctrl vs bianca/ Asuka and Alexa. It's a chore to watch this show and it could be a lot more entertaining. Same goes with the PLE's who are really boring and feel longer then they should be.
1. Completely erasing what Vince as done in wwe: again this isn't my way of defending Vince as he did a lot of awful stuff as well but I look at who have paid the biggest price for Vince retiring. It's all the Vince project. The sad thing about this is that pretty much everybody that Vince actually got behind, where more entertaining and over then the new people HHH brought in . Theory was a awesome heel and was way on his way to be a upper mid cat heel, now he's back to the midcard jobber level. Lacey who was one of the more over heel in the company as completely disappeared from WWE. Riddle is back to being comedy relief. Elias is a non entity. Jimmy Smith, who in my opinion did a great job in the play by play role, got fired and replace by the most boring play by play guy in history. Thec24/7 title is pretty much retired
Again I know HHH wants to make wwe his own but vince had some good idea especially on how to push some talent that could connect with his audience and erasing everything just to put his own ideas and guys over was a big mistake.
Good.
1.Michael cole as become a way better play by play guy: now then Vince is gone, Michael Cole as the freedom to actually have fun in calling the action instead of plugging everything WWE has to sell. It also made smackdown a way better show.
2. Storytelling is more focus: the main problem Vince had near the end was telling a story that wasn't over convoluted and that didn't know where it was going. HHH seem to know where everything goes and it help the stories being told. Not all the story are great or make sense, lumis vs miz come to mind, but at less it doesn't feel like they don't know where the whole thing will lead.
1. He seemed to be more opened for other company not name AEW to work with them: you look at the 2 main example right now of nakamura being allowed to do that NOAH show or letting Anderson work a angle with new Japan. This are move that wouldn't have happened under vince and the wrestling world will be better off with this.
So here we go.
