Triple H is very happy with WWE’s recent success, but mainly for the wrestlers.
Since he took over the company from Vince McMahon, the WWE has been breaking records left and right. WrestleMania 40 broke the company record for the biggest gate ever and the $5 billion Netflix deal is unlike anything in the history of professional wrestling.
Triple H spoke with Greg & The Morning Buzz about the current success of the WWE. He spoke about how he is excited for the current wrestlers who are treated in the same way as celebrities and sports stars.
“You look at different generations and times, everything ebbs and flows over the course of thirty years. Nothing is going to stay consistent at the highest of levels. Even the NBA, baseball, football. They’ve all had their ups and downs.”
“But to see it again here now when you’re eclipsing all that old stuff. Setting records and breaking records. It’s awesome. I’m happy about it and I’m excited, but I’m excited for the talent because I know what its like to be in that sport. Just to where its packed arenas every night, sold out and everywhere you go people are recognizing you.”
“You’re going to things with celebrities that you see as a big celebrity or a big sports star. Somebody that you admire is going up to you going ‘I love what you do’.”
Triple H On Raw Potentially Buffering On Netflix
Triple H isn’t worried if Raw has some buffering issues when it moves to Netflix.
He spoke about watching the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight on Netflix and the show buffering. He joked that if Raw gets similar viewers to the fight, then he’s “good with the buffering”.
“I don’t want to flex about it, but it was buffering on my end because I was on a plane watching it. The buffering was expected on my side. We were flying back from TV watching the fight and the signal was wonky. I thought, ‘We’re 40,000 feet in the air, it should be.’” Triple H said.
“Then, seeing it online of everybody saying it was buffering. You start putting 60 million households all at once on a streaming service, if our first night buffers and they come and say there were 60-70 million households watching, I’ll be good with the buffering.”
