>>9636573Hunter realized, after reign of terror part two (the Authority storyline) that he had utterly destroyed his legacy and as such, him taking over NXT when Cody's dad died, was his last ditch effort to get smarks to like him and create some sort of positive legacy that might overshadow his laundry list of sins circa 1999-2015.
You honestly think Hunter LIKES Johnny Gargano or Adam Cole or Tomasso Ciampa? He pushed them and pushed them HARD in NXT purely to try and make smarks love him. Along with shit like giving Sam incel Shaw, a guy Meltzer considered the worst wrestler of the 2010s, and one dimensional boring ass Jap Io Sky a huge fucking push because normies literally jerked off to them in term of pushing them because they were eyecandy.
