• Triple H Fires Back At Critics Of WWE Unreal
WWE Unreal, a show exposing a lot of the stuff that goes on backstage, was released on Netflix back in July. While some fans really enjoyed watching how things work behind the scenes in WWE, some felt like the show wasn’t needed, and the work that goes into the product shown on TV should’ve remained a secret.
While speaking on The Pat McAfee Show, WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H responded to the critics of the show. Below is what he said:
“The internet is all complaining that we’re lifting the curtain and showing you stuff meanwhile they’re doing a podcast where all they’re doing is talking about the behind the scenes sh*t that’s going on. I don’t understand that logic.
The world knows, an 8-year-old kid lifts up his phone, Google’s stuff and knows all the behind the scenes stuff right there. So being able to see it, we’re still not showing you how the trick is done, we’re still not showing you how the guy levitates, we’re still not showing you any of that stuff but to me what that show does is show you the heart, soul and passion that everybody puts into that product to make it great for fans.
It’s not taken as the most serious thing on the planet, it’s supposed to be fun, it’s supposed to be entertainment, it’s supposed to be a good time.
If you’re a fan you already know, if you’re not a fan watching that makes you think, ‘man they put a lot into this, I’m interested in watching that now, I learned something about these people as human beings, not just as characters and that interests me’ – I’ve heard a lot of people say that.”
It is unknown if a second season of WWE Unreal is in the works, but it seems like there’s a good chance it happens based on Triple H’s comments.
• People In WWE Frustrated Over Leaked Photos Of Triple H & Stephanie McMahon
WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H was recently spotted vacationing with his wife Stephanie McMahon in Mykonos, Greece. Their pictures were all over the internet, which did not go down well with people backstage in WWE.
According to Fightful Select, there were several people in the company who were “frustrated” and “upset” that the pictures leaked, calling it an invasion of privacy. The claim was that they were paparazzi snapped photos and not released with permission.
A number of people that had posted pictures of the couple on vacation claimed they received legal notices of some sort. It wasn’t said if this was simply a cease and desist or more, but it was implied that it was the photo agency as opposed to WWE or the family.
• “Nobody cares about Ronda Rousey but Ronda Rousey” – WWE Star
WWE has employed a lot of wrestlers over the years who were not content with how things worked in the company. Ronda Rousey is one of them.
The former Women’s Champion has been very vocal about the issues she faced in the company. It does not seem like she enjoyed working there as The Baddest Woman On The Planet called it a chaotic environment on multiple occasions.
Current WWE NXT commentator Booker T thinks that she disrespected the promotion and people like her shouldn’t be allowed into pro-wrestling.
Here’s what he said on his Hall of Fame podcast:
“Ronda Rousey is another one. I think the wrestling world opened the doors to her… and she just spit in the face of Professional Wrestling. There’s a reason why people don’t like you. I don’t hear her old comrades in the UFC saying anything good about Ronda. Nobody’s saying, ‘Let’s bring her back for a reunion,’ or ‘She should be an ambassador.’
Nobody cares about Ronda Rousey but Ronda Rousey. She’s got a very, very high self-esteem. She looks at herself a certain way. But I don’t think anybody else looks at Ronda that way. The business gave her everything – and she just spit in its face.
I can almost guarantee you this – Ronda probably made more money in WWE than she ever did in UFC. And to speak like that about the company that gave her so much? It’s an insult.
We really gotta think about letting certain people into our world. Because they can come in, and as soon as they leave, they spit on it like Ronda Rousey just did.”
Ronda Rousey parted ways with WWE following her last match against Shayna Baszler at SummerSlam 2023.
