WWE’s Triple H Opens Up On Booking Philosophy

WWE

WWE Chief Content Officer Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque has opened up on his booking philosophy in the company.

The Triple H era of WWE has been going on for over two years now after he initially took over in July 2022.

Since then, business in the company has grown from the final days of the Vince McMahon era, though there are a number of old school wrestling fans that have commented on the product, and it not being ‘as good’ as years prior.

Speaking to Greg & The Morning Buzz, Triple H opened up on texts he gets from old school wrestlers, and people claiming that it used to be better.

Triple H noted that you have to learn to adapt to the times, and that if he booked the show entirely on what he wanted, it would die.

He said:

“Nobody actually texts me during the show because they know I’m not going to answer, for the most part. It’s interesting the different points of view. I know guys across many different generations, and I think there are some older performers that look at the way kids perform today and they say, ‘They’re just not doing it right. They don’t need to do all this.’ I get that, but it’s the way kids consume it today. There is a saying about when things start to leave you in life. The first thing to go is music. How many people, as you see them get older, ‘Music today sucks. Back in my day, that’s when they made good music. People put their heart and their soul into it and there was real emotion there.’ No, you’re just old, dude. Yeah, the stuff was great in your generation and you learned it a certain way, but the kids today learn it a different way, and what they see and what they think is cool, then that’s what you need to give them.

“I can’t control that. I learned this 30 years the hard way. It is in no way shape or form about what I want. It’s about what they want. If it becomes about what I want, then the show will die. It is about what they want and that overall big picture.”

Triple H also commented on the concern about potential buffering when WWE moves to Netflix in January, which you can see here.
