As to the question posted by RIUTG, I would agree with Stardust. Shane McMahon is now the CEO of YOU On Demand and I don't think he would give that up. Triple H has been groomed for years to take over as CEO and I see him doing that at some point in the future.
I agree that WCW gave people way too much control over their characters. Just for fun though, looking back, I would have loved to see what Scott Hall could have done as a booker. It is sad that he has let drugs and alcohol nearly ruin him. But the times I have seen him talk about ideas I always felt he had excellent knowledge in that area. I disagree how he rebelled in this match I am going to mention, but one time he was scheduled to fight a very young Chris Jericho who was a "jobber to the stars" at the time. He was supposed to beat the crap out of Jericho and then powerbomb him repeatedly after the match. Before the match he told Jericho "The only way we're going to get a reaction here is if you beat me. Find a way to beat me out of my finisher, and if Bischoff said anything, I told you to do it." The result was Jericho pulled a shocker, then an "angry" Scott Hall powerbombed him repeatedly. Made for a better storyline. I admired that unselfishness from Scott Hall, and even though he rebelled I thought it was a good example of his creativity. I always thought a booker is one thing he would have been really good at.
