I don't think we've seen enough of HHH's vision to properly judge.

But TK has always wanted to play booker, and outside of Cody whose already gone back, I don't see HHH being interested in any of the original AEW core talent.

Imagine thinking the "Me and My Friend Mark" guy wouldn't be arrogant if he was in charge of a monopoly. He was arrogant when he didn't even have that much power. Imagiine him with power and a monopoly.

Tony wanted to open up his wrestling promotion regardless, the guys a bigger wrestling geek than the majority of people on here. Guaranteed he still watches all of the WWE stuff.

The traditional wrestling fan is working or lower middle class. This just confirms what we know, that AEW is catering to a bugman audience and should change that.

What about Kenny and the Bucks? WWE has been trying to get the former for a while and Haitch was interested in the Bucks and Cody before AEW was formed. I can see an argument being made for others but those three seem like wanted assets in the industry.

I partially agree. I think he would've bought a company like Impact or ROH instead of building AEW.

Yes. Paul's NXT still existed and was put in high praise constantly, and AEW still became a thing.

AEW was founded off of Cody having a chip on his shoulder and using the bullet club hype to make his own vanity ppv with the bucks as dumb marks co-funding it, then Tony Khan seeing an opportunity to buy himself another career and using bc t-shirt sales and the all out success as proof of content to tv executives he already knew. It ending up as a week style tv show was not the initial pitch, in fact it is the opposite, so no. Their roster would be different, and better off for it, but the company would have existed anyway.

Yeah, but having control of NXT isn't the same. If Paul were in charge at the time, he probably keeps Moxley and that would have been a major hit to AEW at the beginning. Who knows if Jericho would have been in WWE instead.
Maybe Paul hires Kenny and The Elite.
I think at the very least, AEW would have been way smaller if Paul was in charge back then

AEW was initially born as an "alternative" because smarks didn't like main roster WWE even when they were pandered to at the same time with NXT. Paul running creative would've made no difference, because he would've booked WWE the same as NXT. You can see that now currently. AEW might've been a little different (which isn't saying much), but it still would've been a thing. NXT was the show for smarks and yet AEW still became a thing.

That payoff has come and gone, they put The Shield back together more than once. People don't really care, because they ruined The Shield before the break up, then drove it into the ground with years of Roman basically still dressing the same and using the same music. Roman was like the X-Pac of his day, still using the trappings of his old faction five years later.
