Nexus, the Youth Movement, Sheamus= All HHH?

[Dwayne_Jason]

So, for the past few months Smarks have been jizzing over creative storylines WWE has produced. Lets look at the highlights:

Nexus
Youth Movement
Del Rio winning RR
Miz Cashing in
etc.

Since the beginning of the year HHH has ALSO been sidelined by Sheamus and has taken up a job as VP of creative and McMahon's right hand man. My question to you is this, is HHH the mind behind the great ideas WWE has produced in 2011?

Moreover, is Triple HHH a viable replacement for McMahon?


Debtae away!

to answer your question i have mixed emotions on how i feel about HHH taking over when Vince dies. I seriously think it should be Shane instead of HHH, now i know that you will all say that Stephanie will take over but listen HHH will make all the decisions trust me on that. I think that Shane is a much better candidate than HHH is to take over when Vinnie Mac can no long speak. Just my two cents

 

[drock24]

Honestly; I don't see anything other than this happening. Vince will not give up complete control until he's dead; believe that, the WWE is his baby, and he will not let it go without watching it into the grave. However, I do think that HHH and Stephanie will assume control from Vince as far as operations go. Why wouldn't you have a guy like HHH, who is well connected to other veterans and people in the business assume control.

Shane would be great too, but he's already shown that he is more interested in the business sides of things. I think he's like part owner of the UFC at this time too. So of course his name is all over the company as well, but he will definitely be assuming less of a role than HHH and Stephanie.

As long as he doesn't assume this control while he is still wrestling, then I am al for it.

First of all, we are only at mid-february of 2011. The only major event to occur at this point is Del Rio winning the Rumble. Nexus, the Miz and the youth movement all started more than 8 months ago. And no, I don't give all the credit for the Del Rio win to Hunter for that.

Do I think Triple H is responsible for pushing the company in this seemingly new direction? Not fully, but I'm sure he had a hand in it. You guys need to stop attributing every little good thing that happens to Triple H. For all you know, all these good ideas were pitched to Vince while HHH and Steph were chillin by the pool at home.

I'm confident having Triple H in the position that he now has will bring a lot of good things to the WWE. Keep in mind though, that not everything he touches will be gold. We fell in love with the product that Vince created, right? But he had some brutal ideas, too. So too will Hunter, just give it time to unfold. I think he (and Steph) will do just fine as a replacement when the time comes.

Ok you have a guy that's been in the company for over 15 years, and in the business even longer. He was trained by Gorilla Monsoon. He's been under Vince's wing for 10 years, and has learned the tricks of the trade by the best damn promoter in wrestling. He has good ideas. Sure he's a little selfish, but so is Vince. HHH would be more willing to put over guys that Vince wouldn't, and vice versa.

Yes it would be a different company. But don't you think it would be different with Shane as well? Once Vince isn't in charge, the E as we know it will change forever.

The WWE is one of my all time favorite corporations. And I fully endorse HHH running it.

I think that HHH had some say on what guys he wanted to see get pushed and what guys not to get pushed. Look at what we have seen from NXT to this point. All of season 1 "rookies" are either on Raw or on Smackdown (even those that were injured are still a part of the main roster). Season 2, the only 1 who went up was Kaval, and he got the ax. Kaitlyn is still around on Smackdown i believe. I personally would love to see some of the others from seasons 2 and 3 up, but in due time. I also think that HHH sees something in ADR, hence his push. Sheamus's status was because of who he works out with. The Miz was a name before the WWE, so I can't really say HHH wanted to bury him or give him a push. All of this happened after HHH went out with that injury, minus Sheamus's push, which started before that injury. The youth movement really started at the end of ECW, which again, was before HHH's injury.

Nexus - Unknown
Youth Movement - Unknown
Del Rio winning RR - Definitely not, it was Rey that wanted him in the WWE
Miz Cashing in - HHH is known to be anti-Miz

The only thing HHH is known to have done is boost Sheamus and possibly McIntyre. Anything else is baseless and is only being asked because of his newly reported interest in FCW.

 

[Calderownz]

Well, he's been interested in helping CM Punk, Sheamus and Drew McIntyre. Three young, good looking guys that can work a little bit and have a decent future. Two of those guys are putting the work in and one simply hasn't clicked yet.

As far as creatively, that's usually a group thing. People put all their ideas together and help shape it in that way, I'd assume.

As far Triple H running WWE, it's going to be weird. Anyone other than Vince McMahon running WWE is going to be very hard for me to get used to. Hopefully, if it is Triple H, he takes a lot from Vince McMahon and a lot less than Stephanie McMahon. Hopefully, Triple H isn't wrestling, either. Hopefully, he simply wants to make the best product and hires and fires the right people. All you can hope for.

yr totaly right shane is the aris to the wwe throne up until hhh married steph then vince started siding with hhh more than shane in my opinion steph should take over

 

[XgringolocoX]

Only God and Vinnie Mac know the truth. While it's perfectly plausable that Trips had something to do with some of all that's been going on. I wouldn't bet the farm on it being ALL Trips.
I love that there's the HHH "He Slept His Way To the Gold" and the HHH "Future Lord of All that is Wrestling" groups here. I think it's somewhere in the middle, personally. Sure railing the bosses only daughter hasn't hurt his career. Were Trips a dumbass, he wouldn't have lasted long with Vince. Grand daughters or not.

 

[kash_is_money]

I find it hard to believe that HHH had any hand in the current youth movement given his past off keeping down any talent that has posed a threat to his top spot. The only possible thing i can think off is that Vince is slowly stepping away form his post to be replaced by Hunter. And Tripper is winding down his in ring action so he wants the company to have established stars to make sure his bank account keeps growing in the future. Either that or become a father has mellowed him.

Shane would be great too, but he's already shown that he is more interested in the business sides of things. I think he's like part owner of the UFC at this time too. So of course his name is all over the company as well, but he will definitely be assuming less of a role than HHH and Stephanie.

As long as he doesn't assume this control while he is still wrestling, then I am al for it.

Unless I'm mistaken and have been under a rock for quite some time, Shane has nothing to do with the UFC there were rumors that the WWE was going to purchase Pride Fighting but that was bought by Zuffa.

 

[DeathClutch]

I wouldn't be surprised if HHH has had a hands on role and pushed some mega buttons that have produced some great WWE TV in years.

The Youth Movement is something that is needed and regularly at that as well, with the winds of changes in WWE I'm hoping creative has a major role in changing the format on TV and mergering the belts and changing the outlook of WWE TV.

People can slate HHH all they want but IF and i say that loosely if it's HHH pull that has this youth movement then kudos to him.

 

[Tech N9ne]

I think the Sheamus-thing is ALL Triple H. It was said that Sheamus was a work out partner of his or something like that and is Triple H's buddy. Sheamus received a pretty unprecedented push when he came in. Only a few have rose to the top as fast or faster than Sheamus did.

Trips has essentially let Sheamus put him out of the ring for almost a year now.

As far as the Nexus angle goes and other angles revolving around the "youth movement" are concerned, I don't know what role he has played in them. I think if he played any role at all, eventually we will find out. I am sure he will be compelled to let us know.

Vince, in my opinion, will ONLY step down when he feels the company is in good hands. I always imagined when that time came, that it would be a combination of Shane, Stephanie and Triple H. Now I have no idea who will have the most "say-so" when Vince decides to hand control over. I think Triple H is proving he can be a Main part of decent decision making in WWE, at this time. So who really knows who will be in control? It won't be too far fetched though, whoever it ends up being.

 

[iamthegame]

Does anyone here actually have emperical evidence of what Triple H has/has not had a creative hand in regarding youth movement or anything else for that matter? I mean the word of supposed 'inside sources' or heresay is not necessarily based upon any solid facts. Triple H may have or may not have had a hand in everything discussed here but it's unfair to just assume that he could not have possibly had a large say in, for example, Del Rio winning the royal rumble.

I'm not saying that he did by any means have a creative say in anything let alone the youth movements from 2010/11 because there's a lot of rumour and innuendo revoling around the WWE.

Maybe he was behind the Jeff Hardy heel turn? Okay now im being facetious.

 

[Jack-Hammer]

I don't think that Triple H is all that responsible for the WWE's youth movement. The youth movement has come about as a result of necessity I think rather than choice. A lot of veterans in the WWE are simply wearing out physically and it's happening quickly or some just want to do other things. HBK, Batista & Chris Jericho are gone, Edge his hinting at retirement though whether he actually does is a little debatable, Mysterio is becoming more suseptible to injury and probably doesn't have more than a few years left, same with Taker, Kane turns 42 next month I think and he's no longer in his prime. The WWE simply needed new stars to step up and take over some of these spots. It's true that they pushed some that weren't really ready and that's a problem with the developmental system that Triple H is reportedly pushing hard to have overhauled.

It'd be interesting to see Triple H take over the reigns. Based on what's been reported, his style seems to be a lot different from Vince's. Vince is something of a smark in the sense that he feels that everything should go down EXACTLY the way that he feels that it should. If it doesn't, he gets his ass all bent out of shape. When Vince steps down, he'll step down. Since the WWE is a publicly traded company, Vince can't just call the shots from the sidelines no matter how much of a control freak that he is. I'd expect him to stay on as sort of an adviser but ultimately, Vince will have to let go of the reigns once he setps down as Chairman & CEO.
