15 Things We Learned From Triple H On The Steve Austin Show

14. Changing The Direction

Triple H said the Royal Rumble was heavily debated and that the decision fell to one man, and Vince took all the suggestions and decided on the direction. He praises Vince as being the first guy to admit when he's made a mistake. Austin follows up by asking if the booking of Raw, featuring Daniel Bryan beating Seth Rollins for a shot at Roman Reigns and his WrestleMania title match was Vince's way of acknowledging that he screwed up. Hunter says the business is all about making audibles and changing directions based on the whims of the audience, noting they can change at the drop of a hat or they can work the fans just as easily. He points out that Vince read the reactions to Hulk Hogan and used that as the basis for creating Hulkamania, which wasn't an answer but more of a deflection.
