Hell, in most of his feuds, the really memorable "put-asses-in-seats" interviews are done by Ric Flair or the opponent ( Orton was clearly outshone by both The Rock and Mick Foley. He wasn't even in the same league...and mic work is supposed to be his strong suit). As far as importance: every fan hates the idea of it, but the fact of the matter is, as far as the WWE is concerned, the most important worker on the roster is Triple H. Every Raw is about him, with or without the belt. Every PPV he's on, he's in the main event slot. He is pushed as the main character in the company. And that's just on-sceen. The WWE started a movie division; the first movie out will be a Triple H vehicle. He is now involved in the booking meetings, as confirmed in Vince's latest interview. He is showing up at Smackdown tapings in a 'road agent' capacity. With Shane becoming more of the businessman, it becomesmore apparent that Hunter is going to be handling the product (with his wife, Steph) when Vince retires. You simply don't get more important than the main event headline heel who also happens to have family ties and stock in the company. Whether or not Randy Orton is the face of WWE in the future is debatable, but Triple h is going to be pulling the strings for the foreseeable future.

Have I ever mentioned that you are probably my favorite poster these days?
