Triple H Thinks Creating WWE Content Is More Difficult Than Ever

Triple H WWE Smackdown

Triple H has given his thoughts on WWE: Unreal after the series took fans behind the curtain.

On July 29, WWE: Unreal hit Netflix, and the internet can’t stop talking about it.

The docuseries is designed to give fans an insight into how WWE truly operates behind the scenes by taking them backstage and even into the writers’ room. However, the series has split opinion across the industry, with some fans and wrestlers suggesting that the company shouldn’t be trying to share pro wrestling’s secrets.

But what does WWE boss Triple H think about the pushback?

Triple H Responds To WWE: Unreal Criticism

During an appearance on WFAN, Triple H discussed WWE: Unreal and admitted that it’s getting more difficult to create content as fans are so aware of how the wrestling industry works. The Game went on to suggest that the docuseries could do for WWE what Drive To Survive did for Formula 1.

“I think the Internet….you could do things at that moment in time when you go back and you talk about Hulk Hogan, right? People didn’t know. they didn’t know the ins and the outs. They didn’t know what was going on behind the scenes. They maybe talked about a little bit.

Now, you can’t, if you’re bringing in a new talent, like you gotta hide him at a different airport. You can’t let him be seen at the building because the second you do. It’s everywhere. People want to report on everything, and it’s the funny thing that you talk about on real, like people that are fans of our business are just as fascinated with the behind-the-scenes of what we do as they are seeing it take place in the entertainment that it provides in real time, and all the things that goes into it.

And there, as you said with the show, there’s so much that goes into the creation of this, but fans are fascinated with it. The people that are complaining about us lifting that curtain and showing people behind the scenes are mostly the people that are already talking about it anyways. They’re on podcasts, they’re debating it with their friends. They’re already there talking about all of it.

We’re just giving you a look into what really goes on and what happens behind the scenes. I think much like Drive to Survive did for F1, I think this opens up the doors to a lot of people that aren’t necessarily fans, but that can watch this and appreciate all that goes into it and say man, these people seem fascinating.

They approach what they do with such an incredible passion. I want to see what the final product is that they put out, and hopefully that leads to them becoming WWE fans for life.”

During the documentary, Triple H tipped Rhea Ripley to go on and become the biggest star in the entire industry, explaining that fans know she’s got something special.
