The question is what role is there for HHH?
Vince has been out of creative for quite a while. Even when he came back last year, it was just to oversee the sale. HHH has been running creative for a while now.
What I've read is that there will be presidents over each brand - with Khan keeping the title for WWE. HHH is expected to continue his role as head of creative for the wrestling brand.
HHH calls the shots on a week to week basis but Vince still has a little bit of input at a macro level. I mean it’s still his company so I have a hard time imagining him totally being out of the loop on creative.
Some are speculating that Roman winning last night when basically everyone was expecting a Cody win was a call made by Vince. Don’t know if that’s true or not but it did seem like a call Vince would make. Roman has been the champ for almost three years and has headlined WM like seven times already, Vince has arguably pushed this guy even more than he did Super Cena.
I mean, I guess he could give his opinion on things, but these lines were supposedly hard lines drawn by the board when they agreed to bring him back.
I don't really care though. I haven't really watched much of the product in years.
I don’t watch it much but did watch Mania and thought it was a phenomenal two night event. A lot of people are mad about the ending but the main event match itself was great. The Saturday show is one of the best wrestling shows I’ve ever seen, would recommend it to any casual or lapsed fan.
Vince is calling the shots. Triple H has input but much less since Stephanie left and he served papers to the new board that wished to strip him of power. You are falling for the storyline.
Hell, look no further than last night's poorly received RAW. It was classic Vince.
He may have sold the WWE, but I GUARANTEE you there is a stip in the sale that Vince still has creative control. He will carry the biggest pencil until he is 6 foot under. Period. The end.
Vince = Jerruh
