6 Problems With Having Triple H As WWE Champion

2. It Encourages Stupid Biases About HHH

Look, I don't buy into the garbage theories that HHH married Stephanie McMahon to get in with the management of the company. The whole idea implies that he is some Machiavellian mastermind of manipulation and that the entire McMahon family must have the intellect of wallpaper. The McMahons might make some blunders but give them some credit for goodness sake. And HHH might be ambitious, but he isn't a psychopath. But in an era where WWE are hemorrhaging viewers each week, it doesn't exactly seem like the best way to gather back those lapsed viewers is by giving the title to another old guy that they were sick of a decade ago. Especially when he is part of the family, and especially when he has been given some rather 'favoured' treatment at other times of his career. One of the things that people hated about WCW was the fact that the guys close to management kept getting all the good, main event spots in the later years. You don't get any closer to management than being management yourself €“ so why shouldn't people just think this next run is cynical nepotism? If people haven't been watching the product, how is a HHH title run supposed to challenge their preconceptions that WWE is out of ideas? It doesn't and it won't. All it does is confirm biases about nepotism in the company, Triple He's ego and the lack of ideas for people beyond those that worked in the late 1990s.
