2. Following The Internet Wrestling Community & Incorporating Into Storylines
Reports came out earlier in the week that Triple H does follow the online rumors, and is open to incorporating them into the creative booking of the shows. This of course is a concept that Vince McMahon would never do, as he always ignored the Internet Wrestling Community. Knowing this, it's clear to see how Triple H has incorporated online rumors straight to the television booking. For instance, the entire Occupy RAW segment by Daniel Bryan where he hijacked the show until Triple H agreed to his terms, came from the Hijack RAW rumors a week prior. That RAW was from Chicago, and there were major rumors online that the Chicago crowd would hijack the show with their CM Punk chants, and would even turn their backs whenever The Authority came down to the ring. The other hot topic in the IWC is that Triple H never puts anyone over, and he's constantly burying the talent. Do we remember the video package that was released a couple of weeks prior to WrestleMania? It was a video that hyped past WWE Superstars who became fan favorites like Daniel Bryan, and included names like Goldberg, Jeff Hardy, Kurt Angle, Scott Steiner, RVD and Chris Jericho. It then went on to bury them, and claim that the only one who still remains in the WWE is The Game Triple H. It was a great way to get heat from the crowd, and play off of the internet rumors. Who knows how much influence we as fans have, but it's nice to know that someone like Triple H does pay attention to online fans. Daniel Bryan may not be the WWE Champion right now if he wasn't the internet darling that he is.
