I just find it preposterous that HHH is allowed to run amok over the whole roster.
London and Kendrick make the save, so they eat two pedigrees. Booker T wrestles him at SS, and gets buried so bad he basically decides to leave the company (regardless of weed), Hardy scores a major upset over HHH with a rollup, that HHH immediately sells by laughing at the conclusion of the match, then at NWO, Hardy eats Pedigree on chair. HHH delivers the shot that put Cena down at WM, giving Orton an opportunistic pin, he wrestled three matches (including cleanly beating Orton) at No Mercy, proving that on even ground Orton wasn't his match, then he beat Orton at three straight PPVs. He got his WM pin back against Cena....it's just ridiculous.
Combine that with the fact that he's allowed to get over on the mic by being the only guy on the roster who can give shoot promos, and you have what you have.
I know that a lot of the IWC likes to be chic and nonconformist, and HHH hating is "so 2003", but he's the same guy he was then, (rhetorical) you aren't being counterculture by rooting for HHH because a lot of guys used to hate him, FWIW.
But Paul only does what is best for the business. And it's clear that he's a draw, unless you look at the fact that ratings spike when he leaves RAW and backstage morale increases because they actually believe they can go up the card rather than serve as his next meal.
He also can't work a non-gimmick match worth a damn anymore. He gets around like Ewing in a Seattle uniform.
