I don’t respect you, Booker Man!
By Scott Keith on 4 February 2024
Scott, is it time that we have the HHH conversation? Lost in all this Rock-Roman talk is the fact that we now have an increasingly large sample size to say that Triple H doesn’t really have much to say as booker. Yes, the logic and cohesiveness has improved over Vince but do we have any compelling movement forward? Let’s see where we are since the last Mania: Roman is still heel World champion with no credible challenges coming along, just waiting for the Rock. Cody is the feckless babyface still trying to finish the story. Gunther is a long running IC champ not any closer than main event. Heel faction Bloodline is still a thing, as is Judgment Day, who is basically just doing the Bloodline over again, right down to R-Truth in the Sami role. Not sure anyone is really in a better place than they were a year ago.
Business is still fine, so not time to panic or make a change yet, but we’ve seen plenty examples in the past where the audience eventually tunes out when they don’t get satisfying conclusion to their stories.
Oh I think that getting removed as booker is going to be the least of Paul’s concerns if TKO does the rumoured housecleaning.
