Just like others have said,you getting rewarded for watching every show and paying attention now. I'm a huge wrestling fan but towards the end of the Vince era I wasn't paying attention to 50-75% of what was going on and didn't have to because you was gonna get reminded of it 10 more times that week or it just didn't matter in the first place and they forgot about it their selves right after it happened. Another thing for me is I wouldn't have put guys like Kross,OC and Lesnar(this quick)on a list of people I wanted to see back but he's making it work with guys I didn't care at all about. I get that! But at the same time one of the things I don't like is him changing things instantly. Like Ezekiel. If you were watching Raw weekly, personally it was one of my favorite angles. I thought it was very fun! But if you watch weekly and this story is going on about if this guy is or isn't actually Elias. But then HHH comes in, doesn't like it, and ends it abruptly. The fans were reacting too. The fans seemed to always interact with Ezekiel/Owens/Gable. To just end it with no real payoff just because he didn't like it, I wasn't a fan of. Felt like a Vince move to just drop something. Ezekiel got written off a month or so before Vince retired. The whole Ezekiel / Elias angle had pretty much run its course anyway. After having Elias show up, there was really nowhere else it could go.

Ah my bad. I thought their rematch after Hell In A Cell was when Owens powerbombed him on the apron and wrote him off TV.

Better booking. I'm looking forward to Wrestlemania. It should have a good build.

The fact that I'm interested enough again to watch weekly. Haven't done that in a few years but I'm loving WWE at the moment. I wouldn't say it was bad the last couple years, but I'd totally disengaged from it after how uninteresting it had become. The guys getting the shine now and the big build to matches that I'm actually looking forward to has got me back into it.

I’m more happy for the wrestlers. I still can’t really get through an episode of Raw without skipping most of it, but I recognize the improvement in quality.

I think the best stuff will be after Mania, then we will see who Triple H's top players will be moving forward. Right now he's building some, re-building others and getting his chess pieces into place. Its going to be fun getting to watch people sink or swim finally on the mic again like the old days. That's how you get better, OTJ training lol.

Hell in a Cell PPV is dead, gimmick will be reserved for feuds that warrant it.

looking forward to seeing Reigns defend a few more times and who HHH will reward with dethroning him. Also the Bloodline is a killer faction...I hope they don't plan to disband it yet. Have them all turn dog on Zayn and get him outta there though. Could be a great boost for him

I have a new answer.
Just got announced that on the great Muta's retirement tour, he's got a match in NOAH against Shinsuke Nakamura. Kenta did get loaned for one match there as well years ago, but this is a much bigger deal.

Starting to feel like Papa Paul is going to give us a lot to be thankful of these next couple of months.

New rumor is MITB event being scrapped and the mens and womens matches taking place at Wrestlemania. Would be perfect. Open night 1 with the womens and night 2 with the mens.

I instantly thought of this once they made Mania two nights. It's perfect now to have a mens and womens but separate them so it doesn't feel too "samey" on the same night.

Another thing I recently figured out I like is the fans being more optimistic. Like HHH can book something almost the same way Vince would, but fans still have more hope for the future with it. Like Legado losing in their 2nd match on SD. In Vince's era people would be pissed and complain about him burying NXT talent. But now with HHH's era, he does the same and fans seem okay with it. Like they seem more forgiving of HHH's booking than Vince's.
