Triple H Conference Call Audio & Recap: Compares NXT to ECW, Talks Recently Signed Indy Stars, Kenta’s NXT Debut, Sean O’Haire’s Passing, Hypes Takeover 2

– He was asked about recently signed guys like Kevin Steen, Kenta and Prince Devitt being referred to by their names they used outside of WWE and if they will get to keep them. Triple H noted it’s likely we’ll hear changes but there’s a lot of factors. He talks about intellectual property business and branding them as WWE guys. He notes that he feels it’s pointless to pretend like people don’t know who they are and he wants to embrace their past that got them to NXT.

– Talks about the Performance Center when asked about possibility of working with NFL or other organizations. He said talent is talent and talked about how they will find talent anywhere as long as they have something to offer. 

– He told a funny story about he was ringside for a live event not long ago at Madison Square Garden where Bray Wyatt wrestled John Cena in the main event. Triple H said he leaned over Wyatt’s shoulder during his entrance, Wyatt was still in character but Triple H asked him, “So, have you ever been in the main event at MSG?” He said Wyatt’s facial expression had a big change and it was like a kid at christmas because he realized how cool of an opportunity and experience this was.

– He talked about enjoying the Monday Night Wars series on WWE Network. He spoke when asked about Mick Foley and said how important he was to the time period, as well as Foley was one of his favorite opponents ever.

– Triple H talked more on the growing following for NXT. He said they can run live events at 300 person armories or civic centers and sell the place out. He noted how NXT talents have their own merchandise now and it’s become a legitimate place to be and still grow.

– He closes with a nice thank you to us for taking part in the call. He says it’s important for these open forums with him and would rather us communicate than assume the answers or the worst.
