I am glad to Vince go. It will be interesting to see what happens moving forward

Triple H was named Head of Creative. Based on his work with NXT in the past, things have to be getting more consistent and logical, right? I'm not saying that things will become exactly like the Black & Gold NXT, but from a booking standpoint I would think that the days of confusing nonsensical booking are over.
Also worth noting that Kevin Dunn is expected to be done with the company at some point within the next year or so. Gone will be the era of the quick cuts and camera angle changes every 2.3 seconds.

I take a while to process things, and I feel like I can now actually speak clearly on the subject.
1. I don’t think any of us is shocked that he harassed and bedded women and then paid them off. It’s literally the character he played on TV for 25 years, and as we all know, the most successful gimmicks are when the characters are themselves turned up to 11.
2. Vince is an extremely complex person. Ruthless in business. Incredibly generous to people who are in need based on countless stories. Lives by his own rules and moral code, for better or worse. An extreme tolerance for risk that has served him well (Wrestlemania becoming a worldwide phenomenon when it could have bankrupted him) and not (XFL, twice).
3. To an extent, we are all complicit in what’s happened. We remember the Attitude Era as this pinnacle of professional wrestling, but much of what happened back then was simply unacceptable. Casual sexism and racism, “puppies”, using Hawk’s struggles with alcohol as storyline, Owen, and countless other horrible events and tasteless decisions intermingled with the brilliance. While they made progress as a company, it sure seemed like Vince never quite left that behind, and neither have the fans. We want Stone Cold flipping off and stunning the boss, but I don’t know that you get that without some “choppy-choppy your pee-pee.” As fans, we need to, as immortalized by Puumba in the Lion King, “leave your behind in the past.”
4. You could write a Greek tragedy about his life. He started with nothing, became something, and now, when he had everything, has lost the one thing most important to him— the daily grind of WWE, and he lost it by his own doing, by his own hubris.
5. I’m 45, and Vince has been in charge of WWF/E since I was five years old. He’s the only “top promoter” I’ve ever known. There is almost a monolithic stability that is shaken. I think that WWE can only go up or down from here— nothing will be the same.
