With Vince McMahon on the sidelines while he rehabilitates his quad injuries, running the TV tapings and last night's PPV has largely fallen on the shoulders of Stephanie McMahon-Levesque and Triple H. More and more, people in the company are telling me that they are concerned about the long-term health of the company with Steph in charge, unless she makes some changes in the way she does her job. Numerous people have told me that, unlike her father, Stephanie is not at all receptive to any kind of constructive criticism or thinking that does not fall in alignment with hers and she makes it pretty obvious to those who don't agree with her. The fear is that it will create an environment laden with even more "yes men" than the company currently has, which is not a good thing. During her father's injury absence, Steph has been described as "in over her head" and act like she knows everything. She ran last night's show largely solo and according to the people I spoke with today, it did nothing to alleviate their fears for the future.
Triple H was not at last night's PPV due to him working last night's Raw brand house show in Erie, PA. So, he wasn't there to help Steph run the show.
I have spoken to a number of WWE employees today and not one of them has described last night's show as anything better than "fair", and that was only one person. The rest didn't even rate it that highly.
