why can't the WWE be like Zayn/Neville? People like Punk wouldn't have got pissed off if he'd be given the scope the "midgets" in NXT are allowed.

If HHH would book talent like that all the time on the main roster we'd have a) a great new era and b) guys like Ziggler and the like would become stars.

The problem is I think HHH is also a vindictive SoB and hold grudges that mean that I can't put all the blame for WWE's booking at Vince's door.

The WWE has sucked since Summerslam pretty much.

HHH has zero booking power on the main roster.

R Evolution was brilliant, which is all HHH.

oh we've had it, Heyman has just mentioned the sword of Damocles, Damo clearly has friends in high places.

zero booking power, maybe, zero influence? no chance, I just hope, for instance, that he was begging Vince to put Lesnar on every PPV since Summerslam and book him a monster to really make him losing the title become a serious moment. I just can't believe how bad WWE has been and how HHH can have had no say at all.

He has nothing

Cesaro is a HHH guy, signed and trained and where's he?...

What Vince wants, Vince does. It's his company so have at it.

Big E got his push as IC champ by means of being chums with Cena, who I imagine if anyone has influence other than Vince, is him.

I've never gotten the negativity around HHH and his supposed grudges and burials. He puts as many guys over as the likes of Jericho.

He basically came out of retirement to put Bryan over.

he's the son-in-law, the next in line, is the leading TV authority and runs the developmental side, so I struggle with the notion that he has absolute no influence in terms of booking.

That's why he has NXT.

That is his baby, so to speak.

The main roster, the big time, that's Vince. All Vince. He may promote wrestlers from NXT on HHH's recommendation but that would be it.

Otherwise the likes of Cesaro would be doing more than jobbing with Tyson Kidd.

Axel is probably the best example, HHH loved him and subsequently put him over on RAW. Then Vince had him be in the background while Heyman overshadowed him and now he's jobbing to Sin Cara on Main Event...

It's Vince's company, Vince's money, his product and image, he does what he wants.

As for the wrestling over the weekend it was refreshing not to have a Cena main event for once. Good ladders match with in my opinion should of headlined the PPV but the main event wasnt too bad. Its a step in the right direction for me. A baby step.

Just incase you couldnt see the Fergal Devitt documentary last night it was a pretty good insight into the man and him making it big. Mostly around his last few weeks in Japan and him working some indie shows in the UK too. Well worth a look. Seems a down to earth lad too.

Heres a link to the RTE Player it should be on that for 20 days so i would say have a look.
