How did he destroy all his good will with the fans?
>>
It all started with Jey winning the Rumble
>>
>>19574400
He didn't. Paul's still the #1 booker in the world and you're deranged I'm afraid.
>>
>>19574400
I think there's a few factors
>He was seen as positive change
The 2015-2022 Vince era was absolute garbage. Literally anything would have been better. They could have put Russo in charge and it would have been seen as better
>He's constantly trying to get himself over
Opening big shows with promos to soak in applause is cringe
>He's utterly unable to pivot
I think this is his biggest weakness, he's utterly unable to pivot if things aren't working, or if someone's injured. His shift from long title reigns to hot shotting the midcard belts and even the world title is also a little weird, pull the trigger on Bron or don't - the middle ground isn't working
>He's a stooge to TKO
I think it's obvious that he's just a figurehead, it's always his idea when it's a good idea and it's never his idea when it's a bad idea, he's head of creative but with a room of 12-15 writers and a legion of producers you've got to wonder what he really does
>Cena heel turn
This was absolutely abysmal and he didn't work well with it, even as it was collapsing around him he just kept the ship in the same direction. I shoot can't believe that they got Travis Scott to do the run in at Mania, and if he was truly head of creative he would have kept the heel turn until Mania. This further plays in to him being a stooge and not the true creative mind Vince was
>He's utterly unable to handle criticism or fans turning on him
He's SAWFT and really wants the wrestlers/fans to like him. Vince never cared and it resulted in some of the best creative wrestling has ever seen. Haitch wants to be everyone's cool uncle, and it's a bit pathetic
>He's a literal mark for himself
No explanation needed
>Working with the Trump administration
Baffling decision from a guy that clearly wants to be loved

Smaller issues
>Women's division is abysmal and they're not doing a good job building for the future
>NXT call ups haven't been going well
>AEW poaches haven't been going well, Black and Rusev have flopped
>>
>>19574400
He was never good. The bloodline ending and rock fucking off proved that
>>
>>19574556
Also getting "his guys" just further proved that Vince was right. Guys like Cargano, Ciampa, Black and Rusev have just proved that he doesn't know how to book. He also said he was planning a big push for Balor which turned out to be a jobber role and babysitting a faction for 2 years. Balor has never felt more like just a guy and for Haitch who apparently seen what Prince Devitt was all about to botch him yet again is cringe.

And that's not even mentioning the whole Punk thing which was really just about proving a point that didn't need to be proved.
>>
Rock ditching the Cena heel turn angle is what caused the shift in internet fan hivemind. They were getting back on track recently but Cena losing was a big downer for fans. Both were not his personal decisions.
>>
>>19574600
>Both were not his personal decisions
He's head of creative.

never forget
>>
>>19574400
When Jey and Charlotte won the rumble this year is when people started thinking maybe this guy fucking sucks at his job.
>>
He kind of takes the fall for everything bad in WWE, though most of it is on him.
>>
>>19574408
This was it for me

>>19574600
The Rock dipping was hilarious
>>
He was never good at anything involving wrestling since he got into the business. The bloodline storyline was a Vince leftover he luckily fell into
>>
>>19574400
His flaws were pretty obvious even back in 2023. Damage CTRL was a complete mess until the brief period that Vince was back in charge and set it in the right direction.
>>
>>19574611
Rock taking Cody's spot then Rock and Travis Scott being involved as well as the Cena heel turn were not planned by HHH.
>>
>>19574793
Yes they were
>>
>>19574556
>>19574580
Fine speech
>>
>>19574400
he showed up to work and everything pretty much happened from there.
>>
>>19574400
Kneeled to TKO's corporate vision. When he first started he was a kino factory
>>
>>19574400
This assertion is not backed up by any data
>>
>>19574400
He insists upon himself

They are still playing to packed houses with excited crowds, with a top ten show on Netflix. Everything is going objectively great for WWE.
>>
>>19574984
Wwe hasn’t been top 10 all month kek
>>
My favorite thing is the people telling me that Triple H is going to be removed because the audience was upset that the bad guy beat the good guy.
>>
>>19574984
>They are still playing to packed houses with excited crowds
only in Saudi Arabia
>>
>>19574990
That's only because they're counting every season of Stranger Things is a different show.
>>
>>19574992
heel booker, please understand
>>
>>19575003
>getting knocked out of the top 10 by 10 year old episodes
>>
>>19574990
Number 6 in the only country that matters. AEW hasn't been top 10 on Max since ever lol
>>
>>19575012
>B-B-B-BUT AEW...!
every time kek
>>
>>19575012
>debuts on Netflix at damn near 6 million viewers worldwide
>barely scraping 2 million and out of the top 10
>>
>>19575021
to say nothing of the fact that slopdown can't even get a milly now
>>
>>19575024
I forgot it even existed desu
>>
>>19575016
Yeah AEW hasnt been in the top 10 in ever. That's what I said.
>>19575021
Dynamite debut at 1.4 million views and can only draw 400,000 now.
>>
>>19575032
That’s still less than what Ram and slopdown lost
>>
>>19575024
Did you enjoy your one week of Smackdown not drawing a milly? What are you going to be crying about now that Smackdown will be over a million again for a live episode? Dynamite no 400k incoming btw
>>
>>19574400
I can't believe this guy is making the WWE lose money. he needs to be fired and they need to find a booker that can get the company to make a profit again.
>>
>>19575041
Smackdown never got that low under Vince. Paul is an objective failure
>>
Cunter had a good reputation from booking NXT but it really was just months of
- new indie guy debuts
- internet goes nuts
- indie guy puts on some bangerinos and wins the nxt title
- indie guy is interrupted by new indie guy
- internet goes nuts
Then they ran out of indie guys and he was exposed as a shitter
>>
>>19575032
>AEW AEW AEW AEW REEEEE
>>
>>19575046
Smackdown under Vince did 600,000. Still higher than AEW but still really low.
>>
>>19575044
More successful than they've ever been actually
>>
>>19575044
You know that unlike AEW (because AEW is losing millions) WWE profits are public records?
>>
>>19575041
AEW fans are objectively retarded, they have yet to understand that if WWE and AEW both keep dropping in ratings, AEW will be cancelled long before WWE.

It's like the used car lot laughing because the Ford dealership down the road is struggling. Idiot, you both sell cars, if car sales are down, then everyone struggles.
>>
>>19575070
>AEW is losing millions
No, that's just your fat, retarded, delusional, psychotic headcanon.
>>
>>19575085
I accept your concession.
>>
>>19575049
Hunter is never just solo booking everything. He did NXT with Mike Ward along with help from Dusty, Regal etc. then Ward went to do 2016 Smackdown then was demoted by Vince for beating him or whatever. From there they experimented with different teams. HHH is now mainly supervising RAW with Pritchard, Hayes, and the writers, while Smackdown is executive produced by him and Fitting with Road Dogg as the head of the actual team always there. Mike Ward is also overseeing Creative again but no real info on what his job actually entails. Jeremy Borash also pitches in, seemingly mostly with stuff shot off-site.
>>
>>19574793
Then his role as Head of Creative is meaningless.
>>
>>19575032
>Dynamite debut at 1.4 million views and can only draw 400,000 now.
Raw hitting 12m now hitting 600k smdh
>>

Netflix, its commericals to Americans only, forcing Americans to have cable, peacock, espn, netflix or miss the shows, selling out rumble(despite them getting their own yearly greatest rumble bullshits) to the saudis, selling 2027 mania to saudis, having crucial moments happen in commercial breaks, doing nothing with the momentum of the new day turn, doing nothing with the heel cena, having cena turn just out of nowhere back to face, keeps on hyping shit like wrestlefest and it be a let down, having solo lose to roman for roman to being gone the same amount of time and killing the whole 8 months you built solo up and couldve made him and the new bloodline main event but threw it all away
I could go on and on but I stopped after mania.
>>
he listen to Vince

The heel booker won

10 year old episodes they could’ve watched anytime? They’d rather watch that than raw kek. Try my cock mate
>>
>>19574556
Vince hasn’t had any power over WWE since 2005 outside of the small window that Hhh and Stephanie were pushed out
