Triple H Makes Dig At Cody, Kenny Omega During WWE Hall Of Fame 2019 Speech
"[Vince] will buy that company just to fire you again."
Triple H and his D-Generation X cronies spent the best part of what felt like nineteen years spouting loads and loads of utter, utter b*llocks during their Hall of Fame 2019 speeches last night, but there were one or two choice comments nestled amongst the nonsense.
At the end of a protracted skit in which of the degenerates painfully - sorry, 'hilariously' - failed not to thank Vince McMahon, Triple H tried to save the tone by reminding his buddies that he's an official these days.
Apparently, he couldn't be seen making such jokes anymore - even if he didn't quite know what his job title meant. He then quipped:
"If you put 'Executive Vice President' in front of anyone's names, they feel important."
For those who haven't been keeping up, that was a non-too-subtle burn in the direction of AEW's leadership. The startup wrestling promotion is helmed by Cody, The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega - who each carry 'Executive Vice President' as their official job role. Each have been vocal critics of WWE as they aim to directly compete with their new venture, the latter even turning down a huge offer from Stamford.
Another jab was to follow, after current AEW producer Billy Gunn joked that Vince McMahon couldn't fire him for his Hall of Fame comments. Triple H responded, "He will buy that pissant company just to fire you again."
Somehow, we don't think he could afford it. Truly, the second wrestling war has begun in earnest. Now it remains to be seen if the five superannuated rebels will turn up at Double or Nothing in a 'tank'.
