technically Braun is a hand-picked face, just booked like a heel. most fans dont even realize the same things been done to Reigns are being done with Strowman, it just feels different because Strowman is huge and doesnt need to rely on promos to "get over"....and the commentators dont gush over him the way they do when Reigns gives someone a body slam

Has anyone ever gotten more threads made about them than Roman has in WF history? Look up a wrestling video on youtube from any era and I can guarantee you that Reigns will be discussed in the comments. He's the most talked about wrestler in the world.

Haven't the last 6 NXT Champions been brought in and given an immediate push to the main event? Kevin Owens, Finn Balor, Samoa Joe, Shinsuke Nakamura, Bobby Roode, Drew McIntyre. Exactly if it was fans who decided who was pushed towards the title Tyler Breeze and Tye Dillinger would definitely be former NXT champions

If WWE was ever ran by Triple H the same way he runs NXT, I guarantee you WWE would make less money.
Sure the production, storylines, events, merchandise and every other category would be better, they wouldn't make anywhere near the money they are making the way they do things now.
If the way NXT was ran would be more beneficial money-wise, that's what they'd be doing.

It's a pity because Vince won't retire, which means when HHH gets in the driving seat he's going to be around fifty eight years old, which is only fourteen years away from Vince's current age! That's a year shorter than John Cena's WWE tenure to date, and we can all remember his debut like it was yesterday. Fourteen years flies in the blink of an eye.
Vince bought WWF when he was thirty seven, and he's now almost twice that age! He's had thirty five years to implement and develop his vision, and whoever takes over is going to have far less than that. It seems that, after Vince dies, the head of WWE will change every fifteen to twenty years and will likely be trusted to someone in their mid to late fifties.

Not exactly. Obviously, some people in the company, like Jim Ross who signed him, knew Cena was going to be a future superstar, but in late-2004, Vince didnt see him as such which is why he had the $1 Million Tough Enough. There was even a rumor he was about to be released before he got his rapping gimmick. Then he won the WWE Title 4 months later. Is it 2002 you mean? Heard from many Vince didn't see anything in him when he was the trunks wearing "RUTHLESS AGGRESSION!" guy. Nope, it was late 2004. The company was looking for a top star after guys like Stone Cold, the Rock and Brock Lesnar left and Vince thought he could find one if he gave away $1 million. They didnt see it at the time, but they had them in John Cena and Batista. Sometimes the next big thing could be right in front of you and you just dont realize it. Luckily, the WWE figured it out.

Cena wasn't hand picked at all. At least not in the same way. He was given a gimmick and he got mega over on his own. Randy Orton & Batista were the hand picked guys, until finally Vince finally realised that the money man was John.
Reigns is completely forced down our throats, their game plan was obvious from the day the shield made their debut. Granted, a lot of people thought that he could be the number one baby face (one day) prior to the shield splitting up, but he showed absolutely nothing (still hasn't) to warrant his position. Which is why he's rejected.
Sorry, back on topic I think they will always try to create a megastar, they just need to be more subtle, let said person get over on their own & take their time.

If the way NXT was ran would be more beneficial money-wise, that's what they'd be doing. I have to disagree with this statement. Sure things would go down in the short term but I think it could lead to another wrestling boom in the long term. Diehard fans are watching NXT and it's only a matter of time before the NXT is running the same venues the WWE is currently running their house shows in currently. Right now the WWE for the majority is running the NHL/NBA venues while NXT is running AHL and below venues when they tour. I am honestly doubting right now that WWE will get anywhere near the Television Deal they got the last time around when the time comes for a new deal and that deal may end up forcing Vince to step down by the investors so I think the day Triple H takes over may happen sooner than a lot us are currently thinking.
