10 Things You Didn't Know Were Banned In Triple H's WWE

2. Real Names

Triple H benefits, enormously, from the wretched curve of what WWE was.

Tiny, incremental changes that ultimately amount to what a promoter should be doing as the bare minimum - like calling professional wrestling "professional wrestling" - are celebrated like Tsuyoshi Kikuchi just made the comeback in Sendai.

The man benefits from a similar curve as the booker. Papa H cares about his talent! He brings them all back, even if the push is hardly great (Candice LeRae) or nobody actually asked (Top Dolla). He's a good guy who cares about his kids.

That's the thing, though: they feel more like his kids, his projects, than actual human adults with agency - but, because he's probably a better human being than Vince McMahon, this in a warped way is considered worthy of praise.

Should it be?

A lot of people rolled their eyes at the preposterous names that Vince McMahon insisted upon to trademark his acts. Why doesn't Triple H come in for the same criticism?

He's not really allowing talents into WWE and letting them simply be; he's getting some writer or other to think of a name that just about matches the physical make-up or primary character trait of the wrestler.

So unless they're established, like a Tommaso Ciampa, big lads are getting called 'Tank'.
