WWE legend says Triple H changed one thing from the Vince McMahon era (Exclusive)
Triple H replaced his father-in-law, Vince McMahon, as WWE's creative figurehead in 2022. In an exclusive interview, WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry noted how The Game has slightly altered the size of wrestlers in the main-event scene.
McMahon oversaw WWE's creative direction for 40 years after taking over from his father in 1982. During that time, the 78-year-old often booked physically imposing wrestlers in high-profile matches instead of the best in-ring performers.
Speaking to Sportskeeda Wrestling Senior Editor Bill Apter, Henry addressed the fact that Triple H does not seem to care about wrestlers' heights:
"I think just the players, just the talent, is the only difference. I always say that I play favorites, I don't treat everybody the same, and I think that was always the case in pro wrestling. The ownership took a premium on big guys, giant six-six, 300-pound guys. That's not necessarily the case anymore. That's the only difference that I see." [2:05 – 2:47]

Before replacing Vince McMahon, Triple H frequently booked smaller talents in main events during his decade-long run as NXT's head of creative.
Now the 14-time World Champion holds the same position on the main roster, Mark Henry is glad giant wrestlers do not dominate RAW and SmackDown:
"It's a business where the smaller guy or girl can get the love now that they probably thought they deserved all along." [2:48 – 2:59]
Henry also revealed why he thinks AEW President Tony Khan must change the way he books International Champion Will Ospreay.
