#1 Triple H taking over from Vince McMahon
As much as fans deride Vince and would like to cast him as the scapegoat for all their misgivings about the product – with good reason – it is also noteworthy on the other hand that there would be no WWE as we know it today, had it not been for him.
It took gumption and vision in equal measure from Vince McMahon Jr to purchase the company from his father then, the fallout of which has overseen its transition from a territorial player into a global juggernaut today.
71 years young and as involved with the product as ever, it is common knowledge that Vince McMahon’s stewardship of the company is unlikely to cede until he breathes his last. However, what the WWE have done astutely meanwhile, is formulate an organic succession plan that would ideally ensure a seamless transition when the proverbial torch does need passing.
And If NXT was intended to be the dress rehearsal to gauge how worthy Triple H is of the mantle, his performance thus far has left us – somewhat begrudgingly I might add – eagerly awaiting the actual curtain raiser.
‘Then. Now. Forever’ reads the WWE’s slogan, proudly reminding us of the historical roots of the company that run deep enough to ensure that the future is, but a guarantee.
After his success with NXT, it only makes sense that at least tomorrow, if not forever, belongs to Triple H.
