Ex-WWE Star Says Triple H & Stephanie McMahon Are "Victims"
A former WWE man explains why he thinks Triple H and Stephanie McMahon deserve sympathy.
Former WWE wrestler/producer Lance Storm told 'The Ariel Helwani Show' that Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are "victims to the all or nothing mentality" prevalent in the company's day-to-day business approach.
Storm said that both Hunter and Steph lived "a 24/7 lifestyle" that was WWE, WWE, WWE and more WWE. Then, just when they thought they'd finished for the day and could relax/focus on other things, they had to think about WWE all over again.
That relentless grind is one Lance views as unhealthy and hardly sustainable.
Trips health has suffered over the past few years, and Storm doesn't think that's a coincidence; he said that 'The Game' continued rolling "until he almost physically broke". That must've been a sobering moment personally, but it did finally give the man some much-needed time off.
On Steph, Lance thinks she looked over at her husband taking a breather and said: "I need that too".
Stephanie recently stepped down from her position as the promotion's Chief Brand Officer and announced that she was taking "a leave of absence" from her duties. To Storm, that makes sense. He reckons the couple deserve sympathy and a holiday together.
