How angry do you think that Triple H was when Tommaso Ciampa told him he was leaving the WWE forever and going to AEW?

I don't think Triple H was angry. Everything that I've heard was that the departure was amicable, and that Tommaso Ciampa was well liked in WWE. They kept him factored into a story with Ilja Dragunov until very late in his deal that still made him look good. I'm sure Triple H doesn't want to lose anyone, but it's the nature of the business.

Do you think Vince McMahon would have booked Cena's farewell tour better? I know he was creatively bankrupt in his last few years, but Cena was also HIS guy. I imagine Vince would have given Cena the full time run he initially wanted

No. I have zero confidence that Vince McMahon would have done anything better, because outside of the Bloodline, the track record of Vince McMahon's creative since about 2006 has been just outright horrible. He would have probably forgotten Cena was retiring like 20 times and have to be reminded by his creative team.

With the new 2K game focusing on the attitude era- what do you think they'll do with names not under contract i.e.(Vince, Foley)

There are enough Attitude Era moments and angles to where you don't need Foley and Vince McMahon. The DX invasion, everything from WCW. Stone Cold, The Rock, Undertaker, Triple H, Kurt Angle, there are plenty of different ways they can do that. I don't think they'll utilize Vince McMahon again in WWE video games. Foley, perhaps.
