WWE Hall of Famer reveals Triple H’s secret to success
WWE programming has been receiving positive reactions from wrestling fans ever since Triple H took over as the Head of Creative. WWE Hall of Famer, The Undertaker recently revealed the secret to The Game's success in his current role in the Stamford-based company.
The former world champion showed up at WrestleMania XL during the main event on Night Two, neutralizing The Rock and assisting Cody Rhodes in dethroning Roman Reigns to complete his story in a 'Bloodline rules' match. The 59-year-old sneaked into the squared circle before flattening The Brahma Bull with a Chokeslam.
Following his surprise appearance at The Showcase of the Immortals, The Phenom spoke about several things on his own podcast, Six Feet Under With Mark Calaway.
He talked about being part of The Show of Shows, his iconic WrestleMania match with Shawn Michaels, his last wrestling match, and more. He also talked about WWE's CCO, as he revealed the key to Triple H's success as the head of creative.
"He’s always had that mind for the business. He’s always had a really good comprehension of the business. Not only idea-wise and being kind of in tune with our audience for the most part. He also knows how to deal with the athletes now. His demeanor and the way that he interacts with talent is really good. When I’m around, I kind of watch from afar, and it’s just a really good mentor type. He’s wearing a lot of hats, but his demeanor and the ability to lock in with today’s talent. It’s different than it used to be," he said.
The Undertaker claimed that Triple H has managed to evolve with time as he further praised the King of Kings for communicating well with the talent.
"He understands that the business is evolving, the business and the talent is evolving, and it’s a different mindset in the way that they approach things and interact with. It’s just different. I’ve been accused of calling some of the talent soft, and it’s not so much that they’re soft. It’s just a different time period. Decade by decade, everything changes, and Triple H is able to relate and get his message and his vision across to today’s talent. That’s key to being able to have that open line of communication, which I think most talent feel like they have with him and a trust level. Just his ideas alone, they’re modern. They’re with what’s going on in society," claimed The Undertaker. [H/T: PWMania]
