Triple H has always been a hack booker. Dusty Rhodes was the one who booked NXT's golden age, ans when he died Trips basically spammed the same formula of
> Debut big signing at end of PPV
> stare down with current champ
> feud for 3 months
> champ loses and moves up, new guy goes on win streak until the latest signing debuts 3 months later
Now that the shine of Vjnce leaving is gone, people have realized WWE booking will never change, you just lost the banned words list and random name changes.
