8 Things That Probably Led To Triple H's WWE Demotion
5. The Job Is Itself Impossible
It's not not fun to rag on Triple H.
This is a man tasked with developing talent - to superstardom, that is the point - and he ate into their match times for years and years with his epic, penis extension WrestleMania entrances. He ended a lifelong love affair with pro wrestling, for several fans and for several years, with his overlong matches, overlong promos, and overlong ego. If you didn't or don't like Triple H - and there's enough creative and anecdotal evidence to objectively warrant the "polarising" narrative - you had to put up with him for well over two decades.
But that job of his was impossible because the scope of it is preposterous. Nobody can do it.
WWE is on a quest to sign any and all talent with a remote lick of buzz in a bid to monopolise an industry it has relinquished, very slightly, whether they have use or even space for that talent, or whether that talent meets WWE's remit for a push. That space thing is literal, incidentally; there are more recruits than lockers in the Performance Center, per a report from Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp.
Further reports have intensified that much of the talent in the PC is unhappy about pay and the lack of opportunity. Reports of the main roster's unhappiness have become so widespread that they're effectively definitive. All of this has converged to create a perception of an unmotivated locker room, with new options to leave in an industry where there was once just one place to make real money.
None of this-uh reflects particularly well-uh on the Game-uh.
