10 Reasons It's NEVER BEEN BETTER To Be A WWE Superstar

10. Triple H's Tastes

The thing everybody must remember about Triple H before doing too many backflips about his longstanding presence as WWE's chief creative force is that he was trained by the monster he replaced.

Vince McMahon's violently whimsical mood swings notwithstanding, Hunter shadowed his Father-In-Law for over a decade before being able to try it himself on the main roster. It can't and won't not be WWE to the core - 'The King Of Kings' has taken the throne from the maddest old crone to ever rule the kingdom - but in ways big and small, the man once responsible for an in-ring "Reign Of Terror" has tried to twiddle enough knobs and flick enough switches so the machine functions to actually get wrestlers over instead of working around a autocratic septuagenarian's bad takes.

It's obviously a work-in-progress. Hunter hasn't quite figured out what to do with former NXT passion projects Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa, and theres a magic bean-feeling buyer's remorse about the booking of Karrion Kross and Hit Row, but he's overseen WWE's strongest PLE year since 2000, when, appropriately enough, he was in the in-ring form of his life.

The buildings were sold out then, too...
