There will come a time when Vince McMahon can no longer fulfill his role as the overseer of all things World Wrestling Entertainment. Age will catch up to him and he will be forced to step away from the company he has reigned over with an iron fist for the last four decades and the industry he helped revolutionize during the national expansion back in the 1980s. Poised to replace the greatest promoter the industry has ever seen is son-in-law Triple H, who has been groomed to takeover the company in Vince's absence for the last two years, learning the ins and outs of the business side of things while focusing on developing talent that will carry the industry into the future. Thus far, The Game has succeeded, building a developmental brand that has risen to critical acclaim, more so than even its parent company. The booking of the brand is reminiscent of wrestling's greatest territories and the wrestling, at its best, rivals anything seen on Raw, SmackDown or pay-per-view. There is plenty of evidence to suggest that WWE will make a successful transition from McMahon to Triple H and that the man who built his reputation a the Cerebral Assassin in the ring will use his intelligence to steer the company in the right path. What will that entail? Why is he the right man for the job and how will he carry the sports entertainment empire for decades to come? It's time to play The Game and find out.
