Current product seems a lot like the mid-90s WWF. Plenty of good workers but no one is standing out and making people care. You can have the most technically-sound match of all time but it means shit if no one cares.

I don't think Booker could have carried the belt as the face of the company for much longer after 'Mania, but it still made no sense to me why he went over on the go-home RAW and not WM19. But I'd also say that's less HHH and more Vince being anti-WCW.
He's always in business for himself, most guys would be, but I think it's wrong to say all he does is bury guys. Every good face needs an even better heel to go up against. Few did/do that better than HHH. When the time comes for it, he usually does the job and puts the face over.
