Why Triple H Made Critical Mistake With Huge WWE Star

Triple H has been criticized for how he booked a former WWE champion during a title match loss.

The WWE Women’s Title changed hands at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Salt Lake City when Jade Cargill beat Tiffany Stratton to win her first singles championship in WWE.

Stratton went into the match with a storyline knee injury after Cargill attacked the knee in the weeks leading up to the match. Due to the injury, Stratton was unable to move well, so Cargill dominated most of the match and won the title in just under 6 minutes.

During The Coach & Bro Show podcast, former WWE personality Jonathan Coachman and former WWE/WCW/TNA writer Vince Russo trashed how Triple H and WWE’s creative team booked the match. After Coach claimed Stratton was bulldozed in the match, Russo brought up Brock Lesnar dominating John Cena at Wrestlepalooza in September.

Coach: “I watched last week, and I’m hoping that she has some type of injury. But when you’re champion of over 300 days, Tiffy Time, gets absolutely bulldozed, with no offense whatsoever, by Jade and loses the title. A – I felt like it made the title didn’t mean anything, and it makes Tiffany look completely weak when they’re trying to build her up. Did you feel the same way?”

Russo: “I absolutely did, Coach, and here is what I thought about. Because, regardless of what people say, we always give them the benefit of the doubt. Do you remember, we were asking this same question when Lesnar bulldozed Cena. And we gave them the benefit of the doubt, and we said, you know what, maybe they’re coming back around to that, and that is going to be Cena’s last match. I gotta tell you, Coach, if Brock Lesnar is not in this tournament…somebody needs to explain what happened to me there.”

Brock Lesnar has yet to be named as a participant in John Cena’s “The Last Time Is Now” tournament featuring 16 wrestlers.

Triple H Believes Wrestlers Can Succeed After Leaving WWE Because Of Their Experience There

As a two-time WWE Hall of Famer and the current Chief Content Officer of WWE, Paul “Triple H” Levesque knows what it’s like to be a top star in WWE and what the perception is of wrestlers outside of the ring. During a recent panel discussion, Triple H made the point that WWE superstars can succeed in life even after they leave the company.

“The key to it, really, comes down to charisma and your innate ability to connect with people. One of the things about WWE that is remarkable is that it is a combination of everything. The athleticism, showmanship, charisma that you have to have, the media skills that we teach from day one coming into the door. All of it.

When you leave WWE, whether you’ve been there for a long time or had any level of success, you are so well-suited to do just about anything in life. I truly feel, for a lot of people, it’s sometimes less about all the things you know and how good you are at them, as the charisma to get people to listen to you.

If you put the right people around you, you can have all of the things you need, but people will follow that leadership.”

Meanwhile, Triple H’s good friend Kevin Nash thinks some of the criticism that The Game deals with is unfair.
