Triple H Talks Misconceptions in WWE

As he progressed from in-ring talent to behind-the-scenes executive and authority figure, Triple H has gotten some flack from many fans for his use of alleged positioning within the company. One of the terms that most often gets thrown around is his supposed “burying” of certain talent.

In a recent interview with “The Tim Ferriss Show,” Triple H discussed the misconceptions of the term alongside how WWE books. Below is an excerpt:

“They just see what they see on TV. They see, um, the misconception for me is that I’m very much what you see on television, or I’m this character or – they see the simplistic things of what we do. You know it’s funny, even if you’re this huge fan of the WWE, they get so upset over things like, uh, well, ‘Why would this guy beat that guy? Just, gah.’ You know, it’s one of the terms right now, ‘he buried him.’

You know, it’s um, it’s a show. And what they don’t get about our show is that we are like this never-ending…you can compare it to whatever you want, comic books, soap opera, TV drama, movie…but it never ends, so there’s always another chapter.

And they get so upset in the moment of not knowing, or maybe not liking the end of the chapter that they’re on…but there’s another chapter. It starts tomorrow, it actually started right now when this one ended, you know and they don’t get that, and they can’t wait for that and they don’t understand all the complexities that go on behind the scenes, so that’s probably the biggest misconception is that we’re just, the WWE is just a bunch of guys, at its simplest form, that just go to the ring in their underwear and pretend to fight with each other, you know. Um, but when you really break it down, it’s a massive, global business.”

Editor’s Note

I do agree many jump the gun too much on booking. Sometimes, you have to let things play out.
