WWE COO Triple H was recently interviewed by IGN, in order to promote his upcoming film, “Surf’s Up 2.” While promoting the movie, he also discussed this year’s “Royal Rumble” event, as well as the career of future hall of famer, Kurt Angle.
The excitement for the “Royal Rumble” is higher than it has been for a long time amongst wrestling fans. In fact, there is so much star power this year, that it is difficult to predict who will be the winner of the match. Triple H agrees.
“Sometimes there’s a year in the Rumble where you think “Okay, I can see this or that happening. This seems like where the Rumble might be headed.” But this year, it’s really tough to call. And I think that’s when the Rumble’s at its best, when you can’t really put your finger on what’s going to happen. I can see this year going a lot of different ways and I think it’s going to go in a way that nobody expects.”
The news of Kurt Angle entering the WWE hall of fame has certainly resonated with many fans around the world. But how long did it take him to make the transition from olympic to professional wrestling?
“One of the things that always stands out for me is that I was here when Kurt was coming out of the Olympics and training. And having never done this before, he went from zero knowledge of our industry to being one of the most incredible performers in the ring in the time frame of the Attitude Era where, you know, he was in there with some of the best in the world. And he very quickly went from walking to the ring for the first time to being one of the best in the world himself. It happened faster than anyone else. And that’s what I do now mostly in my day to day job. Most of my day is focused on talent and recruiting and training and talent development. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen someone pick it up as fast as Kurt.”
