WWE: Unreal Reportedly Had Hidden Agenda Tied To Triple H

WWE: Unreal debuted on Netflix on July 29.

The Stamford promotion’s latest docuseries gives fans a behind-the-scenes look into the production of its shows, including WrestleMania.

While the 5-episode show offers a fresh take on the business for new fans, individuals who have followed WWE for years have lambasted it for its hidden agenda involving Triple H.

The show has come under fire for serving as a vehicle to uplift the 14-time champion’s image, who took over the role of Chief Content Officer after Vince McMahon’s resignation.

Dave Meltzer discussed the show on the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio.

He said the promotion used the series as a vehicle to elevate Triple H, likening it to how UFC promotes Dana White.

The whole show is very clearly designed — someone who was very involved said the idea was they were trying to present Levesque… it’s a vehicle for Levesque. They were trying to present Levesque as Dana White, with the idea that the star, the mastermind, is Levesque, and the wrestlers are the wrestlers — they come and go, they’re pieces.

Dave Meltzer Accuses WWE Of Trivializing Its Talent Through The Documentary

Dave Meltzer was highly critical of how WWE has disrespected its talent, who are the real stars.

WWE: Unreal features the likes of Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Rhea Ripley, John Cena, and Jey Uso, all of whom have had major storylines over the last couple of years.

Meltzer claimed that the documentary portrayed these wrestlers as pawns.

I felt watching it… they minimized the wrestlers. Ripley, Cody Rhodes — they came off as very nice people, well spoken, but it was very much portrayed that they were the pawns and Paul Levesque was the manipulator.

He also slammed it for crediting producers like Bruce Pritchard and Ed Koskey as the key decision-makers while ignoring the reported influence The Rock has over storylines.

Multiple reports have surfaced of Triple H and The Rock clashing due to creative differences in recent times, even claiming that The Game may soon quit the business because of it.
