In terms of backstage, WWF would have gotten rid of a Hogan-like politician during the latter half of the Attitude Era and early Brand Split Era. Maybe RAW has their own "Smackdown 6" type era instead of the Reign of Terror. Same for arguably one of the biggest ever Mania mistakes of Triple H over Booker T at Mania 19 never happening. Possibly Shane never leaves and his ideas and plans becomes the new future for the WWE instead of Triple H and Steph's plans.
In terms of stars, post-HBK DX suffers a lot or never occurs since Triple H was the person who put the 2nd group together backstage. WWF also would be missing someone very valuable as a top heel during the late Attitude Era especially after Austin was out due to injury and Rock taking over as the big face star. |

If Vince had a more open mind, its possible WWE shares or gets more credit than Netflix as the innovator for online streaming service since Shane wanted one done a year or two before Netflix did. Same for waiting years to grow their online presence since Shane had ideas to do it in the early 2000s. In terms of missed opportunities, could have bought UFC when it was really cheap and cover the viewership and talent drain from the Cena era. |

Oh for sure. Shane was a huge ECW fan. He definitely had influence and good ideas. I just wouldn't hand him the day to day running of the company.

A world without a younger Stephanie having her boob slip out of her top as HHH prepared to Pedigree her is not a world I want to be part of.

Liar. She's only in her early 40s now, which means that it would have had to have happened in 1991 or 1992, but she didn't debut until she was 21, in the summer of 1998.

Someone else would have been the top heel in 2000, and they may have been cycled out at a healthy time, and maybe Stephanie doesn't get the influence she has and wrestling stays good.

Say what you want about Triple H, he does have a nose for the business.

Big Shows run in the end of 99 and 00 would have been better. It also would not have ended so instantly.
Someone else would have had to be the top heel too. There were a couple of people to choose from. Plus, Angle was already on the rise at the end of 99. There may have been a couple of rough months but nothing significant. DX would probably not have been the same (if it even existed) but the Outlaws would still have been stupid over. Road Dogg was that good on the mic. X Pac would prpbably have reached the same height as he did too. |

HHH has done more for the business than Rock or Austin in my opinion. Anyone who dislikes him has been worked to that point which shows how good he is.

HHH is also better in the ring than The Rock. Always enjoy a HHH match.

You could argue without Austin and Rock, HHH goes nowhere.

HHH in 2000 was better than a lot of people though, you could say in that one year he was better than the Rock, but never found that same form. |

speed is important for certain things. IE. you want to have faster punches, and be able to hit the ropes fast and execute moves explosively. You don't want to rush through spots.
HHH at his worst is plodding and BORRRRING. |

HHH is a powerhouse though, he doesn't need to be fast. He works his style and has perfected it.

Nah its just a classic style you may not be into. He tells stories. And he does it very well.

Got to admit as a kid I loved DX, how much he was involved with the workings of it I'm not sure but I sure as hell had fun watching them.
He was a great heel , I genuinely disliked the guy when he aligned himself with the McMahons. I would mark out when he lost, his match against Jericho in 2000 when I thought Jericho had won the title is one of my all time favourites. The hated I felt towards HHH after that was massive. Then with Evolution , i loved the angle when they turned on Orton and the whole feud that followed. |
