Former WWE manager Jim Cornette recently spoke about how Triple H dealt with questions regarding the Vince McMahon lawsuit during a recent press conference.
Last month, in a lawsuit, McMahon was accused of abuse and exploitation by former WWE employee Janel Grant. During the post-Royal Rumble press conference, The Game was bombarded with questions on the issue, which he carefully dodged by focusing on the positives.
On a recent episode of the Jim Cornette Experience, the wrestling veteran said Triple H should have come prepared with a better response when he was showing up for the presser.
"If he was gonna be out there not only as a corporate executive with the company but as a member of the family, if he was gonna be out there at all, then couldn't he have fielded the first Vince-related question with, 'Look guys, obviously this is a touchy subject for me not just business-wise but, personally. But I am as shocked as anyone in this room to hear some of the things that have been alleged.'"
Cornette added that Triple H could have made it clear that WWE was now a very different company from back when McMahon was in charge:
"It's not the same company that put this production that drew 50,000 people tonight as it was a few years ago when these things were alleged to take place. So, leave me alone. Would that have been something?" [3:16 - 4:35]
