Memes aside, what do you think of his booking? How does he compare to Vince? What do you like/dislike?

i think hes good but too orthodox and rigid. i don't think he has much of a creative mind really, and i don't think that he's nearly fun enough. all his booking is too serious for the most part. also he never books filler non title feuds that are just character work so no one outside of the main featured acts have anything to do

hes good. He has his questionable tastes, but overall he adds a structure and restraint to booking, while generally retaining Vince McMahon's tasteful autism.

Hes the best booker in the world by far. Hes 10000 times better than Vince. I like that he books long term but sometimes it takes too long

Good and he's improving as time goes on. He is still figuring things out. He is pretty inexperienced as a head booker. I feel like moving HBK up to the main roster to help would be beneficial as HBK is good at booking wild and fun characters. Once he's able to be on-screen I think you put Regal back in charge of NXT.

I would say HHH is a pretty good booker, but only when he is allowed full creative control. He actually had that for a few months and it was pretty kino. He made some mistakes, like overpushing damage ctrl and bringing back top dolla, but even those resulted in some funny moments. He should totally cash out of WWE and go book for the NWA.

boring, stale and predictable. 3 hours kills Raw but Smackdown is somewhat watchable, although still boring. HHH is trying to make the product edgy and cool but seems to be constantly restricted by unknown entities. Tony is better but not by much

I like his booking except for one major booking flaw, his insane push of the Judgement Day. I don't need to see them two shows a week sometimes three shows a week. They aren't draws. Rhea is literally his perfect woman in his eyes. Steong, mannish and into punk rock. She never wrestles or defends her title. They are just filler that Triple H loves because they're all his folk. But he's better than Vince because he pushes Iyo Sky.

It's literally the same fucking thing over and over again and everything has to be extended until a PPV. Nothing cool can happen on TV. I genuinely don't think you can enjoy WWE if you have an IQ over 100 because the constant fucking pattern style booking becomes unbearable after a while.

Like
>Tries to feature as many superstars as possible. Gives them a shot where Vince would instantly not see something in someone and give up until they got themselves over (Eddie, Punk, Bryan). On the other hand, he has no shitter detector and can't tell the difference between draws and anti-draws and puts charismaless talent in spots higher than they deserve.
>Doesn't book overtly silly acts. Look at what Vince did to the Viking Raiders vs what Hunter did

Dislike
>Every title reign has to break a record
>Writes himself into a corner with a faction breaking up too early; has the members get along, only to tease another break up 4 months later
>There is nothing edgy about the product. Everything looks and feels polished.
>Repetitive. Every Raw opens with a 20 minute promo.
>Feels like there's 30 minutes of wrestling on the show. No need for it to be 3 hours.

He was the best booker in wrestling last year and is the best booker this year.

Fine. Competent, but boring. Loves heels. No real creativity.

These two are on point, though record breaking reigns.. i think Gunther's run is earned whereas Reigns and Usos is probably a contractual, signed in some Samoan blood curse ritual with Vince during more desperate times.
I really like that HHH booking brought back the serious impactful matches instead of formulaic weekly "some immobile hoss vince hired kills a noname jobber" and regular dosage of dance gimmicks and making a fool out of someone he didn't like that week.
Then again HHH is also overtly serious in that he puts everyone through his own serious bad guy filter.
It's better than what it was, right now it feels better because what was was too much for too long
