Ex-WWE Personality Who Wanted Triple H Fired Now Defends Him Against AEW Star
Vince Russo has surprisingly defended WWE CCO Triple H on one matter.
Former WWE and current AEW star Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP) has never been shy of unloading some shots on WWE CCO Triple H.
He calls him “The Nose” and has been critical of his backstage behavior ever since he was a colleague and a senior to MVP.
The former United States Champion, who is currently working in AEW as manager of the Hurt Syndicate, during Marking Out with MVP & Dwayne Swayze, said that he had tried to talk to Triple H on multiple occasions when they worked together, but that the Game always avoided him.
There are multiple times that I tried to talk to him, and he would always, ‘I’ll get with you in a little bit.’ Or the few times that I got a chance to get him in his office alone, he would call somebody to come in. He didn’t want to deal with it.
MVP also revealed that his colleague at AEW and former WWE star Bobby Lashley also faced a similar problem with the WWE CCO.
Bobby could not get Triple H on the phone. Triple H wouldn’t give Bobby one-on-one time. Bobby wanted to talk to Triple H about, ‘Hey, what’s my direction? What am I doing here?’ Triple H always had something come up.
WWE Veteran Vince Russo Defends Triple H Against MVP’s Comments
In what will certainly come as a major surprise to many WWE fans and readers, veteran Vince Russo, who is one of Triple H’s loudest critics and stops at nothing to blast his creative team’s current product, has surprisingly defended Triple H against MVP’s comments on Coach & Bro.
Russo said that Triple H handles many tasks, so it becomes difficult for him to attend to everyone. He blamed WWE’s corporate structure instead.
Guys, I just told you five minutes ago—structure. I’ve been in that spot in creative, and I’m running around all day long. Somebody comes up to me—‘Vince, I’ve got to talk to you for a second.’ And I’ve said a million times, ‘I’ll get to you in a minute.’ But I do get to them. I always know in the back of my head that I told someone I’d get to them, because what they have to say is important.
But when you’re wearing 27 hats, you can’t do that. It’s that simple. If there was one person who was head of creative—and that’s all they did—and people could approach them about creative, you wouldn’t have that issue.
When you’re wearing seven hats, it’s impossible to talk to everybody. And again, that’s a structural problem in WWE.
His co-host, Johnathan Coachman, agreed and added to his point.
They need a complete overhaul, because what Vince is talking about is—Triple H is a genius at doing this. He’ll walk up to you like, ‘Hey, Coach, what’s going on? You good? Good. Good. Good to see you.’
Coach talked about how Triple H’s politician-like behaviour was “genius” and even detailed how he would avoid a conversation after a handshake.
And I call it doing the Jesse Jackson. I met Jesse Jackson, and he could meet you while his head was already turned as he was shaking your hand. So you never had the chance to actually start a conversation.
