Saying we don't know for a fact that Trips is a politician backstage is like saying that we don't know for a fact that Dubya lied to get us into Iraq. Maybe there's not a public admission, but the circumstancial evidence is a little overwhelming.
Beyond the reports of Hunter sitting in on writers' meetings and showing up at Smackdown tapings to 'talk to the guys,' there's the very real interview that Linda Mcmahon gave to the Wallstreet Journal last year where she was asked about Hunter and went on and on about how talented her son-in-law was and how valuable his input to the creative process was.
And of course there are the dozens of interviews done on radio and the web by former wrestlers who know they're never going back to the WWE talking about the backstage politics: DDP, Chris Kanyon, Mike Awesome....jesus, Bill Goldberg went on several nationally syndicated radio and television programs to talk about ..,.how did he put it...how "Vince was doing all the talking but Triple H was the one with the hand up his [vince's] ass."
So, yes, Vince has final say. And yes, all main eventers have used politics. Hell, Hulk Hogan might be one of the great political animals of our time, wrestling or otherwise. And yes, it may even seem normal that Trips gets say in the product since he may end up as real life CEO in a few years. But that doesn't mean that its enjoyable that he uses his stroke backstage to keep himself in the main event when he bores many fans to the point where they change the channel, despite what you keep saying about how Triple H is "by far' the best wrestler in the WWE or how no one else can "carry his belt."
