TRIPLE H On WWE Talent Tryouts, NXT Changes, What WWE Is REALLY Looking For In Talent | INTERVIEW

[@menacelurkingyet8345]

Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold, The Rock and Cena were not greatest technical wrestlers but they all were professional superstars that had became household names. 💯

You can tell he's trying to keep a smile on his face even with Vince fucking him over

You can see the depression in his eyes lol

Man, he’s not the same hunter I’m used to seeing.

[@anandhemant]

Is this how hulk hogan, bret hart, bigshow, mark henry, triple H, stephanie, stonecold, greak khali got into WWE? or is the WWE management behaving these days like auditioning for American idol of X factor ?

[@tomkee4479]

@@zoejeremy9671 dude I was wondering if it was just me and if I was prob over thinking it. But your right, I have watched many many interviews or videos of him speaking about nxt and This sounds and looks and sees like a completely different triple h. Of course he is all business and is continuing to do what he does so we'll and that's business BUT he really sounds like he is not very happy and not in an angry way but in a burnt out and very let down so to speak. Everyone knows and seen how special nxt has been to him when he first took fcw over and everything we have seen has been 100% his vision and we see what happened. How successful it became and how great. He put his whole self into it and truly loved it. Now with I know most say Vince and yes Vince is part but I think this particular issue is this Khan guy. No not tony lol. He seems to be behind alot of these dumb decisions lately.

[@sonnywong1429]

Awesome 👌 🆒️ 🙌. Thank denise 😀 😊 ❤ for uploading this triple h conference.

[@joserivera3245]

Of course HHH is not going to say how he really feels. He has to be professional here and push the company's bottom line so he's clearly going to hold in his frustrations.

[@tomkee4479]

Yep, as we all know hunter is always all business and I'm sure always will. But if u have listened to old triple h interviews and videos of his talking about nxt you can tell his heart is not the same about it as it was. He sounds very down and burnt out really. Nxt and everything it has become has been all his vision and we see how amazing it became. He loved it and you could tell how proud he was of it and now this Khan guy has come in and somehow convinced Vince that everything needs to change which amazes me because the old saying goes, don't fix it if ain't broken.

[@menacelurkingyet8345]

[@jimmycare9010]

The BIG problem is they can't find any superstar either. Maybe Bianca and a few other exceptions

[@cyberskunktv5067]

No, it is not a problem. It may be a problem for hardcore wrestling fans. But WWE is and for the most of the time never has been primarily about wrestling. In about two years wrestling fans will watch AEW on a main-stream level and entertainment fans will watch a new WWE, where it's more about the story and wrestling is the "nice-to-have" to finish a feud. And I think both will have their "universe". The hardest Part will be for all the wrestling fans who still watch WWE and are not happy with the product to finally accept it and leave for AEW. THEN and only then both sides will have fun with their product.

[@cloutchips2261]

i'll give HHH the benefit of the doubt about him saying WWE just want more variety, but only time will truly tell.

[@rinbros]

You watch the press conference from AEW everyone is smiling and happy. Here Paul looks so frustrated and tired, it feels completely different.

[@adam2O]

[@tomkee4479]

@John Edward well aew has not passed WWE lol not even close but aew has ALL the momentum right now and if handled the right way moving forward and WWE continuing to be handled the absolute wrong way like it has been this year, aew could possibly become a legitimate financial competitior To wwe in the future. Gotta remember it's not just the creative of the shows and weekly tv ratings and buzz that would make aew actual legit serious competition to wwe, there's a whole lot more. WWE Net worth as of last year was over 5 Billion dollars bringing in around 974 million in revenue in 2020. Aew exact net worth isn't verified but it brought in 43 million in revenue in 2020 the majority of it's revenue is from TNT so it gives u somewhat of an approx figure for it's net worth. So WWE 5.3 Billion and 2020s revenue of 974Million dollars to AEWs 43 million in 2020 revenue prob approx less than 100 million safe to say as it's net worth shows how far aew has to come to be considered at least serious threatening competition.

[@bryanjackson9033]

WWE as a whole makes a lot of unpopular decisions. Not just with the past year with over 100 releases or the business deal with Saudi Arabia or with Peacock. Long before that with going forward with the Attitude Era in the late ‘90’s. There are two sides to the wrestling business - corporate and entertainment. WWE works very hard on both sides but, at the same time unfortunately aren’t going to please or satisfy everyone. Change is good but, it is very hard at the same time. As a lifelong fan going on 26 years you see the ups and downs constantly.

[@nickprehna9404]

13 to 16 roughly thats not too bad. I was expecting more like 20 to about 25 new talent but 13 to 16 is pretty good.

[@NOSTRADAMUSTVBlog]

I guess I am missing it, but what are you folks talking about? Saying he is not happy and not saying how he really feels? Can someone please fill me in with all this stuff?

[@jeremya2425]

I can’t get over “we’re looking for that 1 in a million” quote from HHH. It’s constantly at the expense of wrestlers. That mentality of “ehhh it’s close, just not what we want so let’s not do anything with him/her” is so toxic and a reason I’m not as big a wwe fan as I once was. Hard to care about wwe when it doesn’t care about its performers

[@Troy_Johnson]

Glad you you don't run any wrestling company

[@tomkee4479]

That isn't hunter though, that's a Vince saying and belief and always has been. Hunter has to operate with that at least until Vince is gone which I don't think will be literally till he takes his last breath.

[@tomkee4479]

And the proof of that is at until now, look at nxt since day one when hunter took it over as his project and like he has said before, Vince gave him full control and power of it. (again until now) and look at how successful it become and how huge it become. From a little crummy building in Tampa that would have 20 sometimes even less fans come watch the live shows and before produced a good talent to the main roster that went on and done well, alot fell off but then look at what it become, it got so big it became as a legit 3rd brand and was viewed as a brand that was better in alot of people's eyes than raw and smackdown. And that is why it also produced damn near every big star on the roster since then and should have been even more but they let them be them and nurtured and made them into big popular stars only to get up there and Vince for whatever reason didn't see what hunter and the nxt management seen and buried them or tossed them off to the side. So triple h truthfully does not have that exact same belief Vince does and nxt is proof of that and unfortunatley will now have to adapt and go along with someone else's vision and I know it has to be eating him up inside but he has always been all business so he will do what he has to do. Only hope is when Vince is finally gone that Hunter and Stephanie will actually get to take over as final decision makers. But with how stuff has been lately with this Khan guy somehow worming his way in and convincing Vince his vision is best, who knows if WWE will even be owned and operated by a McMahon in the future and not sold which will be the absolute worst thing ever to happen

[@timothy1787]

“Clearly we’re looking for something different” Yeah no wonder you offered out so many contracts because Vince sacked over 12 wrestlers And this is gonna spiral from here, the more the contracted wrestlers see Vince fucking with what’s going on, their golden talents aren’t dumb, they will see what’s going on and probably leave... so you’ll lose real wrestlers for “superstars”

People need to realize just because WWE recently had a large release of Superstars doesn't mean they're losing money, in fact they're revamping nxt thats why Triple H is out recruiting because it usually takes a new recruit class a full year or two to even get on NXT TV. The majority of the released stars had been with WWE for more than five years so they had a good run but i believe like most jobs soon as your contract up if they don't have use for them than they release you..that's what i believed was the case for most of em. But WWE future is no where near in Jeopardy..WWE is a VETERAN business and they're smart planning ahead for generations to come.

[@jamesglass8642]

You can tell and it seems like he,s worn down. To have something you start and was doing well in, torn down and changed up from what you start it from has to be draining. It,s like Vince wants NXT to fail to teach HHH a lesson.

[@adamblamplate3657]

Great question always love hearing what daddy trips has too say

[@Mike-y1g9x]

HHH IS A CLOWN. HE NAMES HIS FINISHING MOVE AFTER DOG FOOD!

[@Lancun]

Honestly? I have no sympathy for Triple H. The guy made his career off of playing the political game by associating with the Kliq and staying on top far longer than he should have because of who he married. Yes, he absolutely was going to be a main eventer before he started screwing Stephanie. That's not up for debate. What IS up for debate is how long he would have stayed on top after the fact considering that the other top stars of the Attitude Era only flared briefly before Ruthless Aggression started. He derailed main event runs for so many guys, from RVD, to Booker T, to Jericho, and hell, years later he did it again with Punk. Now he's losing all of his stroke based on the whims of a senile old man. The guy stuck his huge-ass nose into business that didn't involve him when he was the one to recommend screwing Bret Hart. I guess Julie Hart was right when she warned him in Wrestling with Shadows that what goes around comes around. It took a few decades, but here we are. That's not even going into him trying to ruin Dwayne Johnson before The Rock even happened. I guess Levesque wanted the guy (Bret) who mentored and protected his competition (Rocky) from his and Shawn's politicking out of the picture. I DO feel bad for all of the NXT talent that has been squandered and wasted due to the old man changing his mind more than he changes shirts. It beats the passion out of them when people like Vince, Bruce, and Kevin Dunn just make decisions that have no basis in reality. But Hunter? Sunny is a total piece of shit, but I believe her when she says that he thought he was going to rule the business one day. Look at the people that he has always surrounded himself with and it's obvious that he's been playing the Game of Thrones for years. Too bad for him that Vince is totally insane and has ordered Ser Ilyn Payne to bring him Triple H's head.

[@coalrssotnon]
