Rumor Mill - Triple H vs The Undertaker at WMXXVII
Rumor Mill - Triple H Pushing For Major WWE Developmental Overhaul
In what may be the very first clue of post-Vince McMahon World Wrestling Entertainment, Triple H is pushing hard behind the scenes for what a key insider described to WrestleZone as "a major overhaul" to the developmental system.
"It's no secret within WWE that Triple H feels the developmental system is a joke," our inside source told us this evening, "and the Florida developmental area looks to be a runaway train."
Our source tells us that Triple H has pitched directly to Vince McMahon that Jim Ross be utilized in a recruiting capacity, while Triple H would oversee more of what Talent Relations Executive John Laurinaitis does on a daily basis in terms of checking up on the system.
There might be some truth to this. Here is an excerpt from J.R's. blog in September 2010:
JR on his conversation with Triple H this past weekend: "Had a great talk with HHH in Chicago who is also looking good but I do not know his future plans re: returning to the ring. The Game has a very bright, insightful mind for the business. I like his personal business philosophies on wrestling. HHH was interested in my upcoming trip to FCW this week as the future of WWE rests largely inside the four walls of the FCW Training facility."

Vince McMahon Comments on the Future of the Raw Guest Host/Star Concept
Regarding celebrity involvement on Raw in the guest host/guest star role, McMahon said they will be more selective on how they use celebrities going forward.
"Once you get in the grind of weekly basis, you get into secondary stars and the audience goes, 'Wait a minute, that guy or gal isn't that big of a star,'" he said.
McMahon echoed comments by former WWE writer John Piermarini in PWTorch's "Torch Talk" with Wade Keller that it became burdensome to integrate celebrities into shows built around WWE's own stars and storylines on a weekly basis.
"We're going forward with bigger stars on select basis rather than have a weekly formula," he said. "It takes away time from developing your own stars."

WWE Reports 2010 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results, Posting Record Full Year EBITDA and 6% Rise in Net Income
“In 2010, WWE achieved record operating performance, generating the highest level of reported EBITDA in the Company’s history despite a challenging environment, particularly over the latter part of the year.
