I noticed that there are fewer comedic and childish storylines.

A lot of people getting together spotlight that might not have a few months ago. He’s brought back a good chunk of the best parts of his NXT and are letting them get time to show off what they have. It’s been an enjoyable views months.

The fact that it's not Vince's WWE.

Still really early to fully judge but already has me more interested than what Vince had going on.

I've been watching a bit of it LIVE for once instead of watching just Monday Night Wars, AE era and the Bret/Shawn era on YouTube lol

It’s been fine, I like how there feels like very little wasted energy. Even if there’s room for more excitement to come in, I feel like that will come in time. Have to keep in mind, it’s being picked up from a 12-15 year stretch of mindless drivel that had little to none long term vision. Star power is still a big missing ingredient and they have to build from scratch. It’s gonna take a couple years to get everyone on the roster back up to a level where they are seen as stars, which I would say breeds excitement - maybe longer but it’s moving the right way now at least.

Is nobody going to point out that Cody Rhodes Divas made a good thread?!
For me, it’s been him bringing back/using acts that were wasted when Vince was in charge and giving them the freedom needed to truly get over and connect to the fan.

Longer matches was the #1 thing I cared about getting, and that's what I've gotten. The screwy finishes are kind of annoying, but I can deal with that. The reason I had stopped watching was because there were very few good matches on TV and it was the same rematches over and over and over. That's changed, so I watch again. The rematches are still kinda there, but it's at least some variation like Finn one week Priest the next, etc. Still not ideal, and my #1 complaint with TK booking as well is those "lets hit every combination between these two factions for months on end", but it's a lot better than literally the same two people over and over.

The Bloodline holding two Championship Title Belts each. Time to unify the rest.

Everything aside… he’s made Finn leading judgement day work. That’s absolutely incredible 👏🏻

The product is better, but let's see in a while to see if the momentum keeps going into the positive. It's still way too early.

1) The shows are easier/quicker to skip through, as there are more long, pointless matches.
2) Chad Gable is getting the chance to shine - he got a lot of time to show personality in the last six months or so of Vince’s reign too, but he’s had a few more chances under Triple H to look credible as an opponent. I think he & Otis have really established their act as funny, annoying antagonists this year.
3) Judgment Day is working better now. The Rhea and Dominik stuff turned the story for the better, and Finn Balor seems to be getting more comfortable.
4) Brawling Brutes vs Imperium. I’ve loved every interaction between them. Ridge has been able to stand out more recently, which he never did previously. Maybe it was nerves.
5) The shows feel a bit more energetic, but this may be because of being easier to skip through.
6) The Bloodline/Sami Zayn dynamic is excellent. I remember about six years ago on Raw when Sami first did his obnoxious, talks-with-his-hands motormouth persona, trying to tell Reigns and Rollins what the gameplan for a six man tag was. I love how it’s evolved into the Honorary Uce. Long term booking at its finest.

I know it’s going to take a good while to get to where HHH wants his plans to be so I’m hoping around Survivor Series things start ramping up. I figure he will go all out for Rumble and Mania so I’m expecting big things from those shows as I feel that’s when he’ll start hitting a stride.
I’m trying to keep expectations reasonable but I like the way things have trended. Overall, things are still a little boring as most current wrestling is but it is what it is.
Wrestling can absolutely be in worse hands than the idiotic daughter and doofus son in law so we’ll see how it all plays out over time.

I honestly haven't noticed that much of a difference besides Raw having longer matches. The whole show still feels basically the same to me. Same writing, same formatting, like nothing feels drastically different. I guess if I had to pick it would be the use of Chad Gable. I'm glad he is getting to shine more in-ring besides on the mic. But other than that, I don't really notice a difference. It's still super early to even tell, I feel. But as of this moment, it all feels the same to me.

Fun fact: this guy even knows how to wrestle. Back to topic: as of right now I am a little worried for the product. Hunter is bringing back many talents. Most of the current energy is a result of comebacks. I hope this will develop in long story lines. I believe a first judge should wait until after Wrestlemania.
