>>18842563 (OP)
I actually think you should replace him, OP

Cody would make sense. Seth would be a Paul redux. Chez would be hilariously fucked.

Dwayne is bringing in Jeff Jarrett to take over when Triple Bypass drops dead.

>>18842563 (OP)
CM Punk comes across really ignorant & illiterate (Remember he didn't knew the Rocky movie), I can't imagine him booking cultural/interesting storylines for a entertainment company, plus he seems really biased on his personal tastes

>>18842563 (OP)
Codyverse bros...we are so back

CODY WILL FOLLOW THE AMERICAN DREAM DUSTY RHODES AND BECOME A TOP TIER BOOKER

>>18842563 (OP)
We've seen what Cody with the book looks like. We've also seen what Punk with the book looks like. I'd have to imagine Seff with the book wouldn't be much better

>>18842568
I also wanna see OP as the booker

>>18842592
Every booker ever is biased on their personal taste, the fuck are you talking about?

>>18842563 (OP)
HA HA HA, no...

>>18842563 (OP)
With even the slightest downturn in business all these faggots will be fired and WWE will be booked by committee just like everything else

>>18842563 (OP)
This has to be some sneaky politicking BS from Codester because no one who saw Codyverse in AEW would even entertain the idea of letting him book. The most realistical outcome is that it's going to be some outsider nobody hired by TKO

>>18842615
bruh this is deadass worse than when your opp says you're checking out the chopped teacher in class

>>18842677
such as?

>>18842696
What the fuck are you trying to say

>>18842563 (OP)
I mean, its hard to imagine anyone doing a worse job so why not

>>18842563 (OP)
Roman Reigns should do it. 10 years of Vince trying to make him be someone, Roman gets the book and catapults himself to the top in less than year. With that kind of ability I'm certain he could help out a lot of people.

>>18842563 (OP)
All these are fucking horrible choices. I'd rather have Tony.

>>18842563 (OP)
based on early Collision i wouldn't be against Punk trying it. It might likely kill the company once and for all but yknow

>>18842754
Tony wouldn't even rather have Tony

Considering how the "codyverse" shit was the worst part of AEW at the time, WWE fans better hope it's not Cody in charge of booking in the end.
Punk would be ok for NXT, awful on the main show.
Seth is Seth.

>>18842592
Biased? You mean like Vince with his roidmonkeys? Or Haitch with his dimeless vanilla midgets? Or Tony with his indy shitters?
Dumb fucking PDS retard.

>>18842563 (OP)
The future is looking fucking bleak.

>>18842563 (OP)
Cody actually booked pretty good in AEW

No one will ever replace Triple H. He is factually the greatest booker of all time. Record gates and record media deals under his watch.

>>18842763
He'd be fine as long as he keeps Brandi the fuck out. The "Codyverse" programs would've worked in WWE but he couldn't understand the smark audience not wanting to buy into his "I'm the heckin good guy and I won't change" gimmick.

>>18842793
But Black Girl magic, anon!

>>18842793
I can't wait for Cody to defeat racism again.

>>18842763
cody had some kino moments you have to admit

>>18842814
it only worked because it was the codester, you put anybody else in and its the drizzling shits.

>>18842571
go away retard, you dont even know what you're talking about

>>18842563 (OP)
Cody/Punkster co-booking the main roster could potentially be kino. Cody by himself is too narrow-minded so he'll just end up booking dumb shit like the Codyverse while Punk on his own would probably be a slightly better version of AEW at most, aka a smarkbait promotion. Together they will (hopefully) cancel out their flaws.
Cody on main while Punk's on NXT works too.
Idk why Seff is there though, he doesn't strike me as a creative type. He'll probably be a good right hand to Cody or Punk due to his bootlicking tendencies but that's about it.

>>18842563 (OP)
Why wouldn't HBK get the job over them?

>>18842900
the assumption is probably that triple h and shawn will be done around the same time

>>18842563 (OP)
how Lord, I didn't think it could get worse than haitch

>>18842563 (OP)
Cody and Seth? Sure why not
Cum Punk Chez? FUCK NO

>>18842793
SO YOU A BLACK MAGE?

>>18842592
Do you realize how deep under a rock Vince McMahon lived? He wouldn't know about 90% of the things people brought up to him in terms of media or pop culture. Meanwhile you're shitting yourself because Punk hadn't seen one of the 20 Rocky movies. No one person can or should know everything or consume every piece of media out there. Being receptive to ideas that people who do like different forms of media and have ideas based off of them is a completely different thing though. That's something Vince would do and from the sound of how CM Punk approaches his booking these days it sounds like something he would be capable of as well
I'm not sure any of these 3 would be the best choices but that's hardly a reason to disqualify Punk

>>18842900
Why wouldn't the guy who's already older than the guy they're talking about replacing be the new name groomed for the spot? Kek. Think about it anon

Triple H doesn't even have a foot out the door yet and these mother fuckers are already plotting. A den of snakes.

By the way Triple H and The Rock will NNNNNEEEEEVVVEEEERRR let Punk anywhere near running the company in ANY capacity

>>18843147
>>18842765
Shut the fuck up Chezlet

>>18843095
I'm the complete opposite
We've seen what Cody booking looks like. It's fucking awful. He's the last of these three I'd want anywhere near there. He isn't Dusty. No matter how badly he tries
I don't know of a single idea Seth has ever had creatively so I can't really judge him. I do feel like he's often up his own ass with his Shield guys and Becky though so I'd wonder how he'd be having to actually be responsible for getting people beyond his scope of friends over
Punk has been around the block. He's been everywhere there is to be. He gets what makes good heat. He gets what makes a story and how to grab fans on an emotional level. Maybe he'd be shit at it, but out of those three I'd pick him first

>>18843152
Age has nothing to do with it

>>18843166
To an extent no. But if Triple H calls it a day it's likely going to be over health concerns of just because he's reached the age where he wants to step away and retire. Once he reaches that point think about where Shawn will be. He's even older. He's got his own health things going on. Traveling each week for Raw and Smackdown isn't the same as getting to stay put in Orlando each week for NXT either. I like Shawn. NXT is the best product going right now. But if we're talking Triple H reaching the point of retirement then I can understand why Shawn might not be the next guy they'd look to for his replacement

>>18843159
>AI slop
Yeah you're totally someone whose opinion I give a shit about

>>18843186
AIDS running wild

>>18843165
If we know one thing about Punk it's that he doesn't take criticism well at ALL and given how much politicking there is he would crash out faster than he did at Collision once the big name guys start giving pushback to his ideas. That's why if you want to let him book anything it should be NXT, there's very little politicking in developmental.

It should be Brock Lesnar or Kurt Angle, they're real winners

>>18842563 (OP)
Grim

>>18842563 (OP)
None of these people will have any kind of power as long as Rock in on the board.

>>18842563 (OP)
All whites btw.
WWE will remain a white man's company.

It's going to be Nick Khan or some corporate officer who has never even been in a ring. TKO isn't going to keep up these little league carny traditions. They're going to bring wrestling into the 21st Century™.
The other two options are Brian Gewirtz or James Gunn.
>>18842570
Cody's booking of himself was abysmally bad, but Dusty was known for being a terrible booker when it came to himself, but otherwise decent, so maybe, but he didn't show any aptitude for it in the Codyverse.

I hope to God Cody gets the book. WWE will finally die.

>>18843165
I've never watched aew, how was his booking bad? I've read about the ending racism thing but nothing besides that, are there any traditional storylines he booked that expose his flaws?

>>18843165
>He isn't Dusty. No matter how badly he tries
dusty sucked though. can you give me actual examples of dustys great talent when it comes to booking. ole anderson was booking the nwa for years not dusty

>>18843226
he can only be good in a russo type position where someone level headed filters his ideas into something good, by himself he doesn't have what it takes to run a company, the politics side I would trust cody to navigate way better out of all of these guys.

>>18842563 (OP)
Wildcard, but you know it's true:
It'll be none other than "hustle" incarnate,
>Michael Cole

>>18843353
His booking wasn't bad at all. People are brain broken over him for some reason.

>>18842563 (OP)
>all the guys that suck ass and killed the business will be left in charge
Lmao that’ll put asses in seats. Why don’t they dig up Gay WyFatt too and make him head writer too

>>18843391
At least Bray had ideas. They were like 99% dogshit, but they would actually classify as ideas.

>>18843353
Uhhhhhhhh gee let’s see anon we had faggots, trannies, Chinese school girls and comedy jobbers doing hadukens in the ring hmmmmmmm not bad!
Fucking kill your self dude Cody booking blows dick through a garden hose up the Empire State Building

>>18843353
Young Bucks booking with Tony Khan's lack of continuity, and somehow more self-indulgent and less self-awar.
>>18843384
They're brain broken over him because his booking was so bad it left them mentally derranged.

Phil just wants to prey on NXT girls I don't blame him

>>18842563 (OP)
Cody: Old school rasslin
Punk: Old school rasslin
Seth: Zest fest

WWE is fucked

>>18843407
No they are brain broken because he isn't an indie shitter and they got worked by the storyline where he fractured the bullet club

>>18843450
Cody was getting booed before anyone thought he was going anywhere because of his own dogshit booking, but sure, keep being retarded, I'm sure that's a great way to live.

Punk's Collision was pretty good
Codyverse and Seth though.. woof

>>18843405
I asked a question nigger why are you so butthurt

>>18843396
Bray just ripped off B horror movies. About as original as Timeless Toni

>>18843476
Still pretty advanced for wrestling booking. Most wrestling gimmicks are just ripped off from other wrestling gimmicks.

Better options to get the book than those 3:
>AJ Styles
>Roman Reigns
>Becky Lynch
>Kurt Angle
I'd namedrop KO and Sami too, the problem is that they were too into the Bucks bullshit. But they 4 I named are apparently not the bitches that Seth and Punk are, and I can see them knowing what works and how to handle personalities. Well, Becky is a woman so they might not take her seriously

>>18843916
>>Becky Lynch
no

>>18843916
Roman will be dead soon

>>18843916
nigga actually said a woman should be in charge of booking
you're lucky you're on the internet or I'd tag you for real

>>18842563 (OP)
cody/punk as a team would unironically bring back 80s territory booking. punks collision was excellent and cody has those classic retard ideas that if reined in could be dimes.

>>18842563 (OP)
seth is getting the book when HHH retires
that statement is not me saying that's a good or a bad thing, but it is a factual thing - that's just what is going to happen
now here's a judgment statement - it'll be fucking AWFUL, even worse than HHH
for punk, they've been waving the NXT carrot in front of his face to get him to behave, but it's clear he only wants that to fuck NXT girls. personally i feel like it should go to someone that was actually loyal to the company instead, idk who that'd be. i never watched chezlission when he was in charge of it, i heard it was good but i still wouldn't want to chance it. nobody could run NXT better than HBK is doing right now, nobody.
i don't know what they'll do with cody. i guess i would rather see him have NXT than punk, carry on dusty's legacy again. but i'm just not sure.

Shawn Michaels might be watching over NXT and Triple H is head of creative, but TKO is running WWE. Theyre going to run it into the ground when the market gives out, too. Shapiro literally looking to drain the well and leave it dry before he moves on.

Sucks for us fans. Sucks for the wrestlers and employees. Its going to suck to see WWE die in the next couple yrs or so.

>>18843916
kurt is the greatest wrestler of all time but i'm not sure how he'd fare as a booker.
as soon as roman is done he's either going to hollywood or just retiring from everything flat out, he might have some rock type appearances in WWE much later but he's not joining day to day creative. he would be trash anyway, you want even more coconut shit?
becky is already in charge of booking a certain section of the women and she's awful at it. if seth gets put in charge, she'll definitely get a piece of the book, to the detriment of quality.
AJ is a solid pick but HHH does not respect him and his post-ring peak is probably as a trainer/coach, no creative role.

>>18843364
>can you give me actual examples of dustys great talent when it comes to booking
Early days NXT. When he was booking the next generation of wrestlers he was doing far better work than when he was booking his own no less himself directly

>>18844819
dusty was an excellent gimmick guy, very good at finding the right character foe people, but his booking was mid

>>18842872
>Idk why Seff is there though, he doesn't strike me as a creative type.
seth is HHH's son he never had. he's probably been getting softly groomed by HHH much like vince did for hunter. of the choices, his booking would be the most similar to current WWE but worse.
he's creative in the sense that he has ideas, though they're not as outlandish as the codyverse, but the ideas are bad.

>>18842563 (OP)
>Cody booking the main roster
>Punk booking NXT
Kino

>>18842563 (OP)
Why not BMJ?

This isn't news. It was already stated that Phil is getting NXT. The Rollins thing I new I guess

>>18844863
it wasn't a guarantee that phil is getting NXT but he said he wants it

>>18844856
his ceiling is higher than WWE. he's gonna go to hollywood and become a sort of brand ambassador for the company to the mainstream. like the rock, but actually beloved back in wrestling.

if i was choosing a wrestler to become the next head booker i would choose the miz

>>18844885
tsmt

>>18844885
honest to god this would be a good pick
there are way worse choices
such as those in the OP!

>>18844877
As a non-american it always feels tough to judge his actual relevancy in the mainstream. Since he knows how to get reactions out of people, it would be interesting to see how he would book a show...

>>18843916
>Becky
What? Why?

>>18844856
Joj is bigger than WWE now. If bending the knee to China didnt kill his momentum in the big time very little will.

>>18844885
huh, thats honestly not a bad choice.
Probably not gonna happen though since it feels like once Miz is done he goes home and becomes a Family Man.

>>18842563 (OP)
Oh God its only going to get worse
I didn't think we could get any lower but we are going to see new depths of shit.

>>18844872
True. Granted, I dont even think he's publicly say anything if there were no conversations about it backstage

I trust Cody. If he says himself, Phil, and Rollins are good candidates, I'm not gonna argue with him. Granted Phil is literally a decade older than Rollins so he'll retire much sooner. Not sure what timeline Cody is thinking of

Honestly I feel like Hunter is quietly putting Bobby Roode in position to be his replacement. Roode sits in on everything now, that is otherwise only attended by HHH and non-wrestlers.

>>18845307
glorious

>>18845307
Bobby 'Crikets' Roode?

It should be Danielson

>>18842563 (OP)
They'd be better off bringing Sasha back and letting her book

>>18845330
he said recently he wants to run ROH, he's eventually going to use that as a bargaining chip to get the book out of tony's hands

>>18845330
he was booking creative back in 2019 when he was still retired, its why people like Lucha House Party Cesaro and Gulak were getting pushes

>>18845404
Can’t get any worse at this point

>>18842568
I also want them as the booker. The best thing TKO could do for quality is taking booking away from former wrestlers.

I can't see 3H retiring before 70

>>18842592
i forgot how much of a diva he was in aew, dean was fucking trying his hardest work with the dude

seth can't even book himself lol
punk would book exactly like stephanie mchahon
and cody would book like pg vince

probably the worst choices to run WWE

Why not bring Vince back to book?

>>18843147
Imagine being a wrestler and not seeing Rocky especially one Phil's age.

>>18845708
They're going to force him into a match with Shawn in Saudi Arabia and he'll die in the ring. They gotta pick someone now.

>>18843316
>It's going to be Nick Khan or some corporate officer who has never even been in a ring. TKO isn't going to keep up these little league carny traditions.

only accurate post ITT desu

>>18843407
>lack of continuity

e-drones literally just make up shit or, worse, project what e-slop is actually like onto AEW

>>18843147
Rocky is the ultimate babyface movie, its essential to wrestling knowledge, I accept zome dumbass zoomer that has never seen it, but Punk is an 80s/90s guy, he has no excuse, well we was a loser in school

>>18845914
Imagine acting superior for not having seen Rocky when you have a Cobra from GI Joe and Pepsi logo tattoos.

>>18842563 (OP)
BAAAAAASED

>>18842563 (OP)
He's being way too premature and excited like school girl. Even HHH wasn't dumb enough to blab about who's gonna take over this or that while Vince was still in control. You can bet this is why Phil is letting HHH cum his mouth, though. He wants control over all those women's lives. In the land of the Phil, pussy is king.

>>18842563 (OP)
Kek, Codester thinks he is gonna be in-charge. What a fucking retard. By the Triple Fumbler's pacemaker gives out and he dies of a heart attack, the company will be sold to the Saudis. Then the Saudi Prince will let his money mark son, Shahid Khan, take over the WWE creative.

The world of American Professional Wrestling will be a battle between two Paki money marks playing "Universe Mode" in real life. Simple as.

>>18843147
Phil ain't Vince. Vince was a phenomenon.

>>18843315
>Cody and Seth
>White
Don't be so desperate.

>>18843353
So bad it killed crowds. His story managed to nuke a crowd on AEW's first PPV with crowds after Covid. Let dad sing king.

>>18842677
I don't know shit about booking but don't the larger promotions these days have a team of bookers that are responsible for their own field of match expertise (cruiser-weight/lucha, heavy-wright, technical grappling, hardcore, tag-team) so one single guy doesn't have his personal likes/dislikes color the entire card?

>>18842563 (OP)
Won't be any of them, TKO will hire some TV writer to be head of creative

Seth would actually be the best choice out of the three contrary to popular belief, and /pw/ would know this if they actually paid attention. He has the best mentality and view of the business out of the three.

However as much as you think HHH is grooming him to be his successor it won't happen either - and that's unironically because of Seth's political views. He is a tremendous talent but he's not cut for the backstage politicking and all the shit that comes with that. Codester is a natural suit-wearer and Punk has become entirely shameless. Ultimately I don't think it will be either of the three though. It'll be someone who was literally not a big deal wrestler but who turns out to be a very solid and consistent booker, and shockingly is well-liked by everyone that actually matters pretty much.

>>18842563 (OP)
Make the call, Dwayne

>>18842568
There's already a retarded mark running AEW.

>>18842563 (OP)
Out of everyone there I'd give Dom the book

He will book WWE like he booked Collision: bunch of +30m matches with the same guys every week

>already thinking on replacing him
KWAB

>>18847003
Would pop. Give Ray the book. Maybe he'll bring Helen with him once in a while.

>>18846900
They're white.
Seth was adopted.

>>18846895
I could see TKO giving a Saudi creative control. It'll keep the Saudi money rolling in at least.

>>18846903
can one of you guys actually elaborate on what he booked and how it was bad or will you just keep repeating yourself? I don't want to watch aew just to see cody's booking

>>18845914
Punk is the type of guy to say the Beatles are overrates

>>18848984
I'm amazed none of the meme-brained retards have hit you with a
>So you don't know?

>>18842563 (OP)
They need an actual creative writer in that position like they had with Ed Ferrara back in the day. TKO will still not give them any real budget to do fun things but at least the backstage and in-ring segments would not be as badly written or as boring.
