Thing is, people are right in saying major changes will be gradual, but Vince had SO many eccentricities that the lack of it naturally makes for a lot of change: Rey being unscripted and speaking in Spanish for a prolonged period, the way the people in the back watched the tv, even the announcers pulling back. And of course, a lot of the performers feel more uninhibited. None of this would have happened with Vince around, he had his hooks in everything. The three hour will always be a drag but I am interested to see how and if the rest of the content changes from now on. You have me interested. I probably won't ever do Raw because I'm not sitting through 3 hours, but SD might be an occasional watch if it isn't a chore to sit through I really hope SD is good cause no 3 hour drag there. NXT has me a little curious too but it’ll probably remain as is. Like, don’t get me wrong, I had to take breaks, do stuff, but the difference is undeniable. If you have it on the background or you’re multitasking, it just feels like a wrestling show now as opposed to alllll of Vince’s weird shit.

If he absolutely needs to be on TV with any kind of regularity, it has to be as Proud NXT/Cool Dad HHH. Similarly, if Steph needs to start being on TV, it's Goofy/uncool soccer mom Steph or nothing. No thank you to any other versions of them, especially as heels I want Steph to show up on NXT 2.0 as her goofy/uncool self, and interact with Jacy. Imagining a world where the main roster cares as much about tag team wrestling as NXT always did. <3 And the womens wrestling which was the draw of the show. They had the best womens division at the very least in North America Heck, even 2.0 while not having the best roster, gives the women a lot of shine. Toxic Attraction is at the top, Cora and Roxanne have gotten a lot of time and have their current storyline, Tiffany Stratton's on pretty much every week, Fallon's with Briggs and Jensen and she wrestles, Alba Fyre is a regular, Lash Legend sucks but she's used regularly, Nikita Lyons just came back and you know they're gonna push her, and Zoey Stark is going after Mandy. It's not the most talented roster, but NXT still finds stuff for them to do. And with Shawn having a hand in 2.0, no reason to think that things are gonna get worse for the women on any show.

This does open the door to finish some careers right - such as Kurt Angle wanted his last match against Cena, but Vince McMahon vetoed it.
That can easily be setup in the near future.
Along with any other decent ideas and pushes that got shutdown.

No question. The specter of them can be around at times "I've just learned that Stephanie/HHH has ordered (insert match here) for next week" or they do a 2 min recorded video from their office to make a quick annoucement but you don't see either of them live unless warranted ala Jack Tunney/Gorilla Monsoon

Pretty much. Especially since, let's be honest, the exposure of the both of them is a big part of the reason why we're in this mess TV ratings wise.

I don’t want Raw and Smackdown to be run by invisible Great Powerful Ozes, but they’ve long since burned through their lifespans as weekly characters. A two-three month average and saving them for big card announcements, a world champion elsewhere being signed or rulings for a marquee match would be fine.

How high is HHH and Stephanie on Roman Reigns compared to Vince? now idk, but Vince reportedly wanted to push Big E, but Trips and Steph were high on Roman and the infamous Roman single push began. again it was rumors, but I definitely remember reports. I do not really mind Reigns being pushed hard as he is a great talent, I just hope they do not keep pushing him as if he has the powers of the Q Contiuum.

I think there were some tropes that get associated with Triple H that made me chuckle last night (starting Raw with a 20 minute promo) and to me personally somethings just seemed to drag. That being said, I do think they just want to get through Summerslam and regroup.

With the best will in the world and as much as I would like to see it, Kurt just had both his knees replaced which usually spells the end of any athletic career. Just can’t see it sadly.

Bischoff had some inside thoughts on why the creative process will be better now:

That being said, I do think they just want to get through Summerslam and regroup. Pretty much. People expecting things to magically become Black and Gold NXT on day one of a show that was still apparently written by Vince before the ouster need to realize that Summerslam will likely just be the “season finale” for a lot of angles and the post-PPV shows will be a bit of a reset.

Even then I'm not sure you'll see black and gold NXT... at least not for awhile

I forgot when these MFs were coming out every minute. As an aside, lame soccer mom Steph is way better than Lady Boss Steph any day of the week.

To Triple H/Paul Levesque/Daddy:
Please give us more WCW. Old School Nitro. Legit WAR GAMES. Starrcade. Halloween Havoc. I'll even take Spring Stampede.
Thank you,
