Triple H Responds to Recent Criticism of WWE Product

Today, Triple H took part in a preview of NXT Takeover: London conference call. Some of the topics discussed were the recent and strong criticism that much of the WWE Universe has had for the current WWE product.

Also, Hunter gave his opinion on why some NXT stars aren’t being called up despite the numerous injuries to the WWE main roster. Below are the highlights:

The Game’s respond to current fan frustration with the WWE TV product:

“We just have to become more disciplined and more Creative with how we do things, and how we operate the shows. We’ve had some unfortunate situations with injuries and everything else. It’s on us to be more creative and come up with a better format; a better show. We hear people’s frustrations and in a lot of ways feel the same way. It’s fixing it. And, trying to fix it. It is what it is. How we fix it, we’re not 100 percent sure yet. But, we will get there. Trust me.”

Why aren’t talents like Finn Balor being called up to the main WWE roster?

“The thing that I hate doing is, ‘Well, there’s a lot of injuries right now, so we’re going to pull this guy up,’ but then the injured guys will come back and then we’re not sure what we’ll do – now we have too many guys for the space.

I hate taking a guy as talented as Finn Balor and saying, ‘You’re the band-aid to hold us over until all these other guys come back and then we’ll see from there.’ If we don’t have that gameplan for when we call these guys up, especially for a Finn Balor, then it’s not the right time. You need to have something in your mind, and hopefully a long-term plan in place that gets them to where you want them to be. At least that would be the goal for me when guys come up.”
