Triple H has revealed one of the favorite parts of his job as Chief Content Officer of WWE.
Triple H has been the Chief Content Officer of WWE since September 2022, and speaking on the All-In Podcast, he was asked about any creative friction between him and the WWE Superstars.
The Game responded that creative discussions with the talent never lead to friction, and they only create a partnership. He also revealed that those discussions are a favorite part of his job.
“One of the favorite parts of my job is to sit down in a room with talent and say, ‘Where do we wanna go? Where do we wanna go with you? How do we wanna get there?’ It’s not the conversation of, ‘Well, I wanna be the champion,’ Okay, everybody does. ‘What is your story and how do we tell it? And who here of these other talent can have a story that goes against your arc, to combine with their arc to tell a great story, right?’
Triple H Says WWE Has To Blend Real-Life With The Characters
Speaking further, Triple H explained that in this internet era, WWE cannot do storylines like Ivan Koloff portraying a Russian character while actually being Canadian, and that they now have to blend real-life into the characters.
“Once we start to riff those things, today’s world is different,” Triple H continued, “You go back, you know, 40-50 years, Ivan Koloff was a Canadian guy that played a Russian because we were in the middle of a cold war, and it was the easy thing to do.
“But you couldn’t do that character now because the internet would go like, ‘He’s from Canada, right? It doesn’t work; they know the truth. So today, you have to sort of blend who you are, real life, with the character that you play, and sort of blur this line of the fourth wall of, ‘Was that real or do these guys really not like each other, or is that really?’
“You know, while you’re putting it together backstage, we’re all agreeing on where we wanna go, and then we tell this story that people cannot tell what is real and what’s fantasy, and that’s when it gets magical.”
