Triple H named Head of Talent Relations and Creative in WWE. 2023 WON Booker of the Year.

I remember this. AEW was at their hottest after All Out with Punk, Bryan, and Adam Cole joining. They were getting close to Raw in the demo and WWE was going up against the NFL. WWE hotshotted the title on Big E to help the ratings.
AEW had a lot of momentum but didn't capitalize off of the CM Punk hype and fans lost interest. Instead of hot angles, AEW had Punk doing commentary, random happy promos, and meaningless exhibition matches for months. AEW ratings went back to normal and they haven't been close to Raw since.
He probably not even actually signed to AEW
Can’t get over the fact that Cass looks like Edge ate 2 other Edges.

Smooth sailing from here on out...
Can't for the life of me figure out why Triple H would hype up his show about to start on national TV instead of saying it wasn't anything compared to the other shows, truly a wonder

Sadly the person I quoted is unable to respond without pulling the "but but but but but AEW card"Can't for the life of me figure out why Triple H would hype up his show about to start on national TV instead of saying it wasn't anything compared to the other shows, truly a wonder
Nobody is even talking a out AEW at this point. You’re just fukkin slow
Smackdown has a billion dollar 5 year Fox deal. They tour weekly, have millions of dollars worth of marketing, production, promotion etc. put into it
RAW has a 300 million dollar TV deal with the USA network. Tours weekly, have millions of dollars worth of marketing, production and promotion put into it
NXT has its own 60 million dollar tv deal. They run weekly shows from a college campus in front of a few 100 people and will occasionally run PPV type shows in arenas. there’s little production cost.. in fact, it hasn’t been profitable for WWE yet and is actually losing money by continuing to operate
Now tell me again how NXT is on equal footing with RAW and Smackdown because a survivor series storyline and “HHH sAid iTs A ThiRd BrAnd”
I hate doing this but Jesus you nikkas are fukking stupid. You see this shyt?? @Brad Piff

Being the third brand doesn’t mean it’s on “equal footing.” WWECW was a third brand and was basically the stepchild. Going by your logic, I guess WWECW was never a brand, right? They never did any legit road shows or brought in money.
And tagging that guy really says a lot. I guess you want someone on your team to ride with you, huh? You didn’t even watch NXT when it was real hot.
For some time, NXT was a legit third brand, but like I said, since Cokeboy didn’t acknowledge it then it must not be true, huh?
NXT was the better product over the E for a few years.

You're tagging a stooge but avoiding what I said. Triple H said at one point that NXT was an equal brand and how Survivor Series 2019 was booked emphasized that point. Can dance around the topic all you want but there was a movement at that time to make it an equal brand.

Trips got AEW fans pulling their hair our.
That face he makes saying “good for them” deserves to be a new smiley. How smug haha

nikka, I don’t give a fukk who said what
We’re talking about reality
I know y’all think wrestlers showing up is all that goes into a successful wrestling production, but that’s not how this goes. If you think NXT is on equal footing with RAW or Smackdown and the advertising dollars spent / production costs of making those shows the weekly successes they are, we have nothing further to talk about

We Are NXT!
@Larry Legend Just put the AEW Stan clan on ignore like me.
It makes using this forum so much better.

You try to big up NXT, a product under the E, and you’re labeled an AEW stan. Unbelievable.

Actually not bringing AEW up at all you fukking stooge. All I'm doing is reminding people what triple h once said about your beloved NXT.
You want reality? Here's what Triple H had to say about NXT in 2019:
"There’s three brands to me within the WWE. There’s Raw, there’s SmackDown and there’s NXT."
WWE News: Triple H- 'There's three brands within the WWE- RAW, SmackDown & NXT' (Exclusive)
"...the developmental term makes it sound almost less than, and the, I don’t even like the word call up.".

Dance around it all you want, or in the case of Sgt @Cboz78 put me on ignore, but in 2019, NXT was promoted as a 3rd and equal brand despite the history you're trying to rewrite.
