That was pretty badass, anyone else been waiting for HHH to drop the best for business excuse and just start being the uber-heel, do what he wants - when he wants.
I can honestly say I've been waiting since he was first named COO

It was a good move, because it does give this mood he's in now an alternate identity from his Corporate HHH position.
Without it, the whole angle just seems futile because - no matter what happens - the faces can never really beat him and win because HHH IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE IN CHARGE. So giving him the character moment to become a heel makes it a phase, basically.

Glad someone brought this up. That promo was amazing, and just reeked of 2000/2001 Triple H. Triple H was always at his best playing an evil sadist, so this is going to be good.

It made me worry we're going to get a few months now of him being a dominant evil heel to get over his new villainous character. I think I've seen more than enough episodes of Raw end with Triple H utterly dominant throughout the years, I don't want to see anymore.
Plus I just don't think he'll allow himself to get his comeuppance the way Vince always did. I hope I'm wrong but there you go.

Well, he's never allowed himself, nor has anyone in power allowed him, to get his comeuppance as a heel. Now will not be any different. Yes he's "lost feuds" but has there been a time since he ditched the Connecticut Blue Blood gimmick where he has looked weak or vanquished? And if he's feuding with VInce, as the rumors have circulated, what do we get? Vince, who has, God bless him, put over and sold for everyone he's ever "feuded" with and been made to look the fool in every one, as the babyface against Trips who has never received the standard heel vanquished treatment. I give it 60 days, at most, and the only players of importance will be Trips as the heel focal point, Vince as the babyface, and Cena and Orton as their proxies. Think Trump/McMahon, only this time Vince's team wins after, somehow, Vince is summarily humiliated by Trips to "give Cena momentum" to beat Orton. Trips will then Pedigree Orton and "redeem" himself.

Even when he isnt wrestling, the guy still wants to be the main part of the show. Not going to enjoy the months ahead with him cutting promos on how every superstar in the back is beneath him and how great Orton is when he regains the WWE Title at Hell in the Cell.

These interviews started off with him being much more open.
He's turning more and more executive big-wig corporate like as they progress. Saying nothing, pushing things ahead, blaming the media...

I like HHH, D-Bry, and most of the people involved in the main angle, but I'm beyond done with it. Maybe I have a short attention span, maybe it's the constant delaying of putting the title on D-Bry, maybe it's something else, but I just don't have much interest in it at the moment.

I feel like if they wanted to make Daniel Bryan, and it seemed like they did seeing as they put him over Cena clean, he would've held the title and stayed a step ahead of the evil corporate bastards who didn't think he was good for business. Instead, it's just him getting screwed over at every turn. Maybe it's designed to gain him sympathy, but I think it's been overkill. He was as hot as he's gonna get going into Summerslam, not sure what the rest of this is doing for him. It's done wonders for Cody Rhodes, Goldust, Randy Orton, Triple H, and Stephanie McMahon though.

I liked the promo ( WHILE THE WHOLE. WORLD. CHANTED "YES!" ) until Hunner did that "Sinister Voice" he tends to growl to let you know it's SERIOUS BUSINESS. Like, dude. Nobody is intimidated by your voice. Be a whiny, condescending corporate bastard who loves to exude this thin veneer of being too cool for school.

It helps the angle to progress a bit. And it's something they've been building up for a while.

An in the 99-2000 he looked always as a heel receiving his commeupance, I never felt that he got away in his feuds against the rock for example, maybe he wasn't uber humilliated, but I was fine with it, since IMO HHH character works as a guy who is not weak, but not the best either, so seeing him lose in a decent way was still awesome The problem was from 2003 to onwards where he looked WAY too unstoppable

I feel like that this could be the first wheel falling off of H's corporate empire, because now that he's no longer being subtle in his intentions, I'd like to think that the mythical Board of Directors might want to step in and basically tell Hunter "enough is enough".

This week his stooges lost their titles while he stood in the ring fuming looking stupid while the whole arena mocked him with Yes! chants. I don't know what more you expect him to do. Some weeks he will get the upper hand, just like Vince did.

And if we have one guy getting the upper hand all the time, people get restless (see: Orton and the Authority standing tall over Bryan for like four weeks straight in late August/early September). Nice to have variety on who gets the advantage in the feud.

You see, it's not comeuppance until he faces Bryan in a match, gets poked in the chest by Bryan, starts screaming in pain and throws in the towel, promptly retires from pro-wrestling, gets divorced and ends up broke and destitute.

You forgot the part where Steph dumps him for CM Punk insults Hunter's manhood and kicks him in the junk. (Of course it'd happen on the main event of Raw so people would still complain HHH got to main event)
