Kevin Nash dismissed speculation about The Rock replacing Triple H as WWE’s Head of Creative, citing Triple H’s unmatched attention to detail and leadership skills as key reasons.
Speaking on his Kliq This podcast, Nash highlighted Triple H’s hands-on approach, exemplified by his meticulous direction of Shinsuke Nakamura’s entrance, down to precise lighting adjustments.
Nash compared Triple H to a dedicated coach like Bill Belichick, emphasizing his ability to deeply connect with talent and inspire exceptional effort.
He contrasted this with The Rock, suggesting that his limited time and focus would prevent him from succeeding in such a demanding role. Nash credited Triple H’s leadership as the driving force behind WWE’s current success, labeling it unequivocally “The Triple H Era”.
Here’s what the 2-time WWE Hall of Famer said:
“Did anybody see the footage? They brought back a Japanese guy (Shinsuke Nakamura), and they were working on his entrance. It was on Instagram. They showed Paul (Levesque) walking the production team through what he wanted. I noticed he said, ‘I want more lighting — not so much from the top, but from underneath,’ and he kind of walked them through this entire process of what he envisioned for this guy’s entrance.
I was just like, man, this is incredible. The attention to detail — always detail, detail, detail. That’s what makes the difference between good and great. He was dialing it in, and I thought to myself, ‘Dwayne doesn’t have the time for that.’
When you’re in charge of creative — in what I call ‘the Vince role’ in that company — you’re the coach. Vince was like Bill Belichick; it was Vince’s way, no question. I think if you’re in that position and you play ball, you develop those relationships. Guys like Brady and Gronk had that with Belichick.
But remember when Brady and Gronk were on ESPN? They joked about whether Belichick could coach at North Carolina or something, and they both went, ‘No.’ You can just imagine Belichick saying, ‘I don’t want you anyway.’
The whole point is that what’s causing this upswing in WWE isn’t ‘kind of’ the Triple H era — it is the Triple H era. People will work for him. They’ll run through walls for him. He gets it.
That’s the intangible that others, like Brian Gewirtz or even Dwayne, just don’t have.”
