WWE started as Titan Sports, Inc., and has changed a lot over the years. The Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon has been the head of the company since it started. He along with his team revolutionised the way professional wrestling was seen, and during the 90s the company was loved by fans worldwide.

It became a worldwide phenomenon during the Attitude Era, and over the years has become the biggest professional wrestling company in the world. The company also bought its competitors, which reduced competition, and the approach to constantly evolve has been the driving force behind the company's success.

The idea to think out of the box and perform some of the most controversial and death-defying acts garnered the company a lot of fans. No one can ever see past Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Vince McMahon, and over the years this feud seems to have been the best feud in the history of not just WWE, but professional wrestling.

The company also created some legendary superstars like The Undertaker, and gave an opportunity to female superstars, garnering fan attention, as well as making the product better.

Chyna was one woman not only loved for her work, but also her ability to showcase to everyone that no one can stop you from achieving your dreams. Trish Stratus and Lita paved the way for new superstars to step inside the squared circle, and they continue to do so every single day.

When Mr. McMahon was running the company in the Attitude Era, his daughter Stephanie McMahon met a wrestler who became her husband, and he has changed the landscape of professional wrestling over the years, and here are reasons why.


#5 Creating new superstars

It's boss time

Triple H has created fresh superstars, and ensured that we fall in love with them. His work has made superstars who have been called up to different shows from the developmental territory (WWE Performance Center and NXT).

The likes of Sasha Banks, Alexa Bliss, Bobby Roode, Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, and even The Shield members made it to the main show under his guidance, and we are sure that these wrestlers have earned a name for themselves and captured hearts.

There was a time when NXT looked like an afterthought, and the company tried everything to raise the stakes, but couldn't.

Triple H took charge of the show and made it rule Wednesday nights after the flagship shows on Monday and Tuesday. The superstars on the show including, The Undisputed Era, NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa, and Johnny Gargano are fan favorites, and create compelling television week in and out to entertain us.

NXT isn't the only show Triple H has revamped, because Mae Young Classic was also his brainchild which enables female performers from around the world to showcase their talent.

We also have NXT UK, and WWE Mixed Match Challenge, among many other shows 'The Game' has created for fans, and they continue to entertain us with amazing content.

#3 Increasing the company's reach

The first letter in WWE stands for World, and Triple H is indeed opening avenues for the worldwide audience to experience what it's like to be in attendance on a WWE show.

Hunter has taken his shows to the worldwide audience including India, Australia, Japan and Saudi Arabia. The recently concluded WWE Crown Jewel is a testament to the fact that he wants to tap into the professional wrestling market, and through his work, he is leaving no stone unturned to make WWE a global phenomenon.

With a huge part of the globe now a part of the WWE Universe, we will have to see which country Triple H visits next to make the company a worldwide phenomenon. It is already loved by fans in the countries where shows are broadcasted or WWE has done live shows in the past few years.

#2 Elevating the women's division

As stated in the previous slides, Triple H is the brain behind many new shows including WWE Evolution, but it all started with the discussion pictured in the above image.

Hunter walked up to Sasha Banks and Bayley to discuss competing in a match, and the women wrestled it in a fashion that left fans wanting more. This started a journey of amazing matches in the women's division.

WWE Evolution is the start of amazing things in the company, and we will have to wait and see how Triple H and his team elevate the women's division through their decisions. If past decisions are a hint, we can be confident that the future of the division is on an upward trend.

#1 Less talk, more action

Perform more than talk
Perform more than talk

There is an old saying, 'actions speak louder than words', and Triple H seems to abide by that motto because the shows managed by him have more action than words.

NXT has many storylines, but we see the wrestlers fight most of the time, more than talk on the mic. The fights happen in the ring, backstage, ramp, or even parking lots.

As the world of professional wrestling is evolving, Triple H is working ahead of time, and that is why he is doing more work on superstars to make them worthy.

Mr. Helmsley is known for his innovative style, and it is helping these wrestlers. He is making them efficient enough to cut promos as well as ready for competitions not only in his company, but worldwide.
