16 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Triple H
9. His Own Boring Hall Of Fame Speech
Triple H has plastered himself all over the 2022-2025 commercial (and mostly creative) boom, and to be absolutely fair to somebody who always wants his belly rubbed anyway, why would he not?
Wrestling fans remember a lot, but the business itself persistently forgets. CM Punk has often discussed being a spoke in the wheel, and wrestling's capitalistic ones don't ever stop turning. Not since Bill Watts got less than a month in the spot in 1995 as a head of creative's role been more theoretically precarious too; TKO will presumably judge 'The Game' on results and if graphs ever start pointing the wrong way, they could point him all the way out of the door. Based on looping rumours about how happy they are with the brand, WWE might even get sold before 'The King Of Kings' gets a chance to get his feet any further under the table.
Explains why he was the main event of his own legends night in 2025, at least. Hunter's grandstanding has made political sense, right up to and including putting himself in the Hall Of Fame over WrestleMania 41 weekend. Unfortunately, some high profile colleagues and/or subordinates could only stomach his stories to a certain point.
Like many of his 'Show Of Shows' matches, the speech went long and all too close to putting those in attendance to sleep. Booker T appeared to have nodded off, Becky Lynch, Bayley and The Miz could be seen barely holding it together like teenagers in Friday afternoon double maths, and several superstars that smartly wore sunglasses inside were thought to have done so to potentially hide their own inability to survive 'The Game's latest play.
