Triple H recently responded to criticism by saying fans shouldn’t take WWE too seriously and remember that the product is about entertaining. He said,
“We’re just fun, man. We’re fun and sometimes people take it too seriously, sometimes people get too caught up in it, but it’s there to entertain, man. There’s a lot of stuff going on in the world.
If you just want to turn off for a couple of hours and tune into something cool that you can just lose yourself in and have a good time, WWE is the place to do it.”
The WWE CCO’s comment has faced criticism, with some seeing it as Triple H downplaying fans who have become invested as taking things too seriously.
On a recent edition of his “Stevie Richards Show” podcast, former WWE Superstar Stevie Richards took issue with The Game’s comments. He said,
“Scrutiny is what they don’t want. Which you have to have. But also, it’s like don’t take things too seriously, but the people who spend the most money are the people who take it most seriously or, as you say, invested most in the product.
“But the people who are the most invested in the product are also going to have one, their opinions on what they would like to see and two, they are going to want to find out more information. Like, why does he not realize he cannot have it both ways?”
Triple H has spent years as part of WWE’s management, and took control of creative and talent relations in 2022.
Before then, Triple H oversaw WWE NXT. He stepped back in 2021 due to health issues, and Shawn Michaels has led the brand ever since.
