8 Ways Triple H’s WWE Is JUST LIKE Vince McMahon’s

7. Crap Comedy

Vince McMahon was notorious for booking excruciatingly awful comedy segments. By the PG Era, Vince’s idea of comedy was R-Truth wearing a set of fake hillbilly teeth and crossing his eyes. 

Triple H never had much of a sense of humour, either. He had decent comedic timing, which he confused for being funny, but that’s about it. The man spent years enjoying Vince’s company. The two men probably weren’t reading the complete works of PG Wodehouse together; they were sh*tting their pants and trying to make Gerald Brisco sick with the stench. 

It’s no surprise that Triple H’s attempts at booking comedy are as wretched as Natalya’s flatulent ar*ehole - but it is a surprise that he bothers in the first place, when it’s such an easy way of avoiding comparisons to a terrible time. 

The Miz blasting Minihausen with a Skull Crushing Finale: that was incredible patter, fair play. But then Danhausen electrocuted the Miz, and the Miz, lobotomised, just said his old catchphrases over again. It was awful. Watching the Miz in this state could actually be interpreted as a razor-sharp satire of how WWE can’t write real characters, but that’s not what they were going for. 

At the same time, a Gingerbread Man character was introduced when Trick Williams made fun of Sami Zayn for being a redhead. This is precisely what Jon Moxley talked about when he buried Vince on his legendary 2019 appearance on Talk Is Jericho; somebody made a comedic aside, and instantly, it was run into the ground through non-stop prop comedy. 

Similarly, later in 2026, Joe Hendry started calling JD McDonagh a Funko Pop, because he has a large head. This was more Vince-coded babyface bullying, witless and mean and not remotely amusing.
