In the words of the man himself, Triple H has long been fascinated with how WWE is operated away from the actual wrestling portion of shows. As far back as the late-90s, he was sitting in on creative booking meetings alongside Vince McMahon and Shawn Michaels, even offering up his own ideas as to what might work. That relationship and role has developed organically. In July 2013, World Wrestling Entertainment proudly unveiled a new facility in Orlando, Florida. The building was named the WWE Performance Center, a place where aspiring stars could train, whilst also learning everything they could about the company. It's an impressive place, even housing a media lounge where people can kick back and study an incredible archive of footage. Triple H beamed with pride when talking about the Performance Center before it was revealed, and wasted no time in telling that he played a part in the founding of the facility. His role backstage increasing over time, the multi-time World Champion realised that things had to change from the ground up in WWE if they were going to reap rewards in the future.
