Former WWE Writer Matt McCarthy told PWTorch's Wade Keller about the time when Triple H confronted Vince McMahon over Shesmus' booking during a production meeting.
He revealed that The Game wasn't happy about too much weight being put on Sheamus' Irish heritage and wanted him to be pushed as a big Superstar instead of an 'Irish Superstar.'
“Triple H just goes, ‘I thought that we agreed, you know, instead of him just being an Irish star, he was just gonna be a star,'" said McCarthy. "'I don’t remember Dwayne [The Rock] ever coming out and talking about being Samoan and black. He wasn’t a half black, half Samoan star… he was just a star. Didn’t we talk about doing that with Sheamus? Instead of him being an Irish star, he’s gonna be a star?’'
He further revealed that McMahon agreed with Triple H and admitted that they had talked about the matter previously. In concluding the meeting, McMahon acknowledged how good the meeting was and asked everyone to put forth a great show.
He’s a fighter, a father, a husband, a leader, a teacher and he’s my son-in-law. Regardless of the arena, @TripleH is a true champion. Happy Birthday, Paul! https://t.co/ucsz3Cj69b
