6 Major Impacts Triple H Has Made As A WWE Executive

3. Legends Agreeing To Enter The WWE Hall Of Fame

As hard as Vince McMahon tried to get Bruno Sammartino into the WWE Hall Of Fame, it looked like he was never going to accept his rightful induction. Sammartino did not like the direction the WWE went during the Attitude Era, and thought that the product became too vulgar. Being the strong family man that he is, he did not want any association with the WWE. Triple H is the one credited for bringing in Bruno Sammartino into the WWE Hall Of Fame. He was the man who was able to have dialogue with Bruno, and communicate all the changes that have occurred in the WWE. He stressed to him that they are a PG company now, and that the television product has changed. He told him to watch the product and he will see the changes, and ultimately Bruno Sammartino finally accepted his invitation last year. It's no secret that The Ultimate Warrior was not an easy person to work with backstage during his time in the WWE. He and Vince McMahon had their feuds, and had a falling out, especially after the release of the Ultimate Warrior self destruction DVD by the WWE. Warrior even mentioned in his Hall Of Fame speech how hurt he was by that DVD. Triple H again was key in these negotiations, and smoothing over all the differences between Warrior and the WWE. I wouldn't be surprised if Triple H is able to get the Macho Man Randy Savage's family to accept a deal to have Savage in the Hall Of Fame soon. We've heard about the bad falling out he and Vince had, and Savage's family do not seem willing to work with the WWE. Time will tell if Triple H is able to get another wrestling great into the WWE Hall Of Fame.
