I believe HHH's actual official title is called Head of Coolness but they call it Creative since that sounds better to the investors.

Hey guys I was busy watching and enjoying Fargo that last hour. What was so bad about the final promo?

It was a John Cena promo delivered badly by Roman Reigns.

Yes and he wants to look like he can lead the WWE better an he can only do that but actively loving up the main program because he knows most will just blame Vince and Dunn while sensibly booking NXT and making it a viable brand.

If you could boil that last segment down to the tater tots line and then Sheamus getting speared through the table without the 45 minutes of whatever the hell that was in between, it would have been extremely good, to me.

Darkest timeline:

Roman loses at TLC. Triple H tells him he's lost his title shot. Roman enters the Rumble. Wins. Is #1 contender. Wins at Fastlane in a meaningless match against an angry Ambrose who wanted the title shot. At the end, Ambrose either turns heel or raises Roman's arm. Roman wins at Mania.

It would be incomplete without the fiftieth iteration of the tater tots line.

Let's spend four minutes of overrun pointing to each weapon in the ring, describing how it's used once or twice, then folding it up and discarding it. Because this isn't a heated angle in a pro wrestling show, this is Blue's Clues.

Sadly Roman is the new Lex Luger: Really good but everyone in the future assumes he was awful because of a failed main event push. HHH goes over at Mania.

Wait, there's still several kendo sticks under the ring. Can you go and get those and take them to the back for me? Then I'll get in the ring.

Okay, Tater Tot, whatever you want.

Can you get me some of that popcorn that Dean had earlier? That looked yummy.

Sure, Tater Tot, I'll get right on that.

Roman doesn't have the body of Luger or the coolness of Nash so he's not even the modern version of those failures.

Until Vince is literally dead and we still get promos like that last one I will not believe said promos don't have Vince's stink all over them. Like seriously even before HHH "took over", Cena had the same "voice" in his promos. It's the same writing, and you have to be half dead to not notice it. It's how Vince scripts his top faces, period.

Also yes, the tater tots thing was stupid but hey it got over, and the spear was good, so if the segment as a whole was tightened up in every way it would've been fine. The problem was that it dragged. And dragged. And dragged.

I'm sure all the bad parts of RAW, are Vince and Kevin Dunn's fault, and all the good parts belong to HHH, who does not actually book NXT.

HHH has enough creative control over NXT that he could gently caress it up if he wanted, and the fact that he doesn't shows he's better at this than Vince

he's still a height mark (Baron Corbin) and a mark for himself but those are some minor sins in the grand scheme of things

It's less that HHH is good and more that he doesn't personally rewrite everything 1000 times. HHH doesn't book NXT but he could if he wanted and chooses not to. That's the difference.
