Is Vince McMahon better at scouting World Champions than Triple H? Exploring former WWE Champion's comments
There have often been debates and comparisons between the Vince McMahon era and the Triple H era in WWE. The dichotomy between the two different creative regimes has often sparked debates and conflicts among wrestling fans, with each side presenting a compelling narrative. However, a former WWE Champion shed light on this and presented his personal views.
The name in question is Bobby Lashley. The All Mighty broke his silence for the first time since the news of his WWE departure. He made some controversial remarks that raised many eyebrows. According to Lashley, Vince McMahon was better at scouting stars who would go on to become bigger names in the industry and eventually become World Champions.
However, the former WWE Champion felt that The Game operates things quite differently. Bobby Lashley did not criticize Triple H, but he did say, "Hunter has his guys," which suggests that the current WWE CCO has a certain group of individuals on the radar that he keeps pushing into the spotlight in order to make them bigger stars.
However, Lashley admitted that he and HHH did not work together enough to get to know each other, and that could be the reason why things did not work out. The All Mighty showered praise on Mr. McMahon and stated that the latter saw him as a big star who could globally represent the company, whereas he felt that the current WWE CCO did not perceive that way.
It would be an exaggeration to say that Triple H made several mistakes with Bobby Lashley in his regime. The King of Kings arguably floundered with him on several occasions, failing to capitalize on things.
Do Triple H and Bobby Lashley have bad blood?
Ever since the news of Bobby Lashley's WWE departure broke, there has been a whirlpool of speculation among fans regarding the real reason behind his exit. However, The All Mighty did not have any bad blood with Triple H, and the two have a normal working relationship.
In his interview with The Laboratory Podcast, he made it clear that he is not closely associated with The Game because he did not get adequate chances to work closely with the latter. However, the alleged reason behind his departure is his dissatisfaction with his bookings.
According to rumors, both parties had a conversation, and WWE offered a new contract, but Bobby Lashley decided not to renew it. The former WWE Champion is keen to explore various other prospects outside the Stamford-based promotion, as he felt the Triple H-led regime did not have much to offer.
Hence, Lashley does not have any bad blood with The King of Kings and the reason he decided to walk out was to explore better opportunities.
