WWE CCO Triple H allegedly didn’t like ex-US Champion Mr. Kennedy.

Kennedy worked in WWE from 2005 to 2009, where he had high-profile feuds against many top stars like The Undertaker, Kane, Sabu, Bobby Lashley, and more.

Speaking on his podcast, Mic Check, he revealed that Triple H didn’t like him in WWE. He recounted an incident when HHH made a sarcastic remark about him, displaying his contempt for the former WWE wrestler.

I feel like, and I’ve heard this from other people, because he [Triple H] didn’t like me either. We did not get along. I remember one time we were overseas somewhere, and I came back from my match. I think I worked Shelton, and I came back, and heck, he was like, “Man, you should have heard it. When you were out there…”
And at the time I was saying that I was the future of sports entertainment.” And he goes, “When you said that,” he was like, “Well, boys, it’s going to be a rough road if that’s the future of sports, entertainment, or something like that.” And he meant that. (From 0:56)

Mr. Kennedy Accused Triple H Of Burying Talents In WWE

During his brief run in WWE, Mr. Kennedy noticed that Triple H had a habit of burying talents, and Shawn Michaels and John Cena were his accomplices in pushing people down.

This is where like you and I were talking about this earlier like we’re all on the same team, man. Like we can all exist. This was the thing when I was on SmackDown. I always felt like you had this, the two mountains, right? The Raw Mountain and the SmackDown Mountain. And on the SmackDown side, you had Taker and you had Booker T and Rey Mysterio and Batista and Kane and all these guys who were like throwing hands down and rope ladders and stuff and like, “Come on, the air is fine. We can all breathe up here.”
And the other side was, you know, Michaels and Triple H and John Cena kicking buckets of hot oil down the sidecar and stay off my mountain, you know, kicking boulders and stuff.
