10 Crazy Secrets From The WWE Writers Room

9. The Frustration Of Triple H

THE ULTIMATE THUMBNAIL

Obviously there's no official confirmation on this, but Triple H is said to be the most frustrated person in WWE these days.

This comes from a caller on Wade Keller's excellent PW Torch podcast last year who claimed to be close friends with three members of the WWE writing team, with Hunter forever left hitting his head against a brick wall where it pertains to his father-in-law.

In a fascinating call, it was said that Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and Shane McMahon have all tried talking to Vince about the creative direction the company is going in and the creative process of WWE. Alas, not even McMahon's family members are able to talk him out of his crazy ass ways.

If true, the writing team could actually come up with numerous great ideas, only to see those ideas shot down by Vince. The famed last-minute script rewrites were mentioned, and it was hammered home that all McMahon does is work out and watch WWE - with him having no grasp on what is going on in the world or in pop culture.

On the Triple H front, this unnamed caller proclaimed:

"The most frustrated person in the back every single night is Triple H. He’ll always take, especially the NXT guys, under his wing. It looks like he’s consoling them. It looks so much like he was the most frustrated person in the building every single night."
