Triple H Takes on Internet Critics

In a fiery discussion on Andrew Schulz’s Flagrant podcast, WWE executive and legend Paul "Triple H" Levesque unleashed his thoughts on the Internet Wrestling Community, dismissing online complaints as detached from reality.

"The internet is not real life, and the non-stop bitching you see there is far from it! Sure, you could scroll through and think WWE is on the brink of collapse, but it’s all just noise. Take Cody Rhodes as an example—people claimed he was "dead as a babyface". Uh, really? Because every night, I see him in arenas filled with 10,000 to 15,000 fans going wild for him, selling tons of merchandise!"

He emphasized that while online opinions may dominate the discourse, they represent a small fraction of true fan sentiment. "What happens in the arena is what matters most. That’s our real feedback!"

Real Reactions vs. Online Opinions

Triple H highlighted the unique advantage of live wrestling shows: immediate fan reactions. He pointed out how a talent like Jey Uso, often criticized online, is thriving in the ring. 'People online say he’s terrible? Watch the crowds! His merchandise is flying off the shelves and fans are loving every second of what he does. That's what counts!"

This comment has sparked conversations among fans, with many rallying behind Triple H’s assertion that live audience reactions are the true barometer of success in the wrestling world.

A Different Kind of Feedback Loop

In an entertainment landscape where shows and movies are often evaluated based on online chatter, Triple H’s perspective offers a refreshing reminder that wrestling thrives on the visceral, unpredictable energy of live audiences. As he put it, "We have a focus group every week—our fans in the seats!"
