"The internet is all complaining" - Triple H shuts down WWE critics

Triple H has shut down WWE critics in a recent interview. The Game serves as the promotion's Chief Content Officer and leads the creative direction. He has been praised for some decisions, while he has also faced scrutiny for some booking ideas.

But on this occasion, he addresses the criticism around WWE's Netflix docuseries, Unreal. WWE: Unreal premiered on July 29 and offered fans a look inside the company's writers' room.

It shed light on how the decision-making process works and how certain spots are put together. However, many fans and former wrestlers criticized it for lifting the curtain too much. Talking on The Pat McAfee Show, Triple H responded to these complaints.

"Funny that the internet is all complaining that we’re lifting the curtain and showing you stuff, meanwhile, they’re doing a podcast that all it does is talk about the behind-the-scenes sh*t that’s going on. I don’t understand that logic. The world knows, an eight-year-old kid lifts up his iPhone, Googles stuff, and it tells them all the behind-the-scenes stuff right there," he said.

The Cerebral Assassin then talked about what the purpose of the show is and how it serves the fans.

"We’re still not showing you how the trick is done, we’re still not showing you how the guy levitates, we’re still not showing you any of that stuff, but to me what that show does is show you the heart, soul, and passion that everybody puts into that product to make it great for fans," Triple H added.

Watch the interview below:

WWE: Unreal featured a lot of the promotion's top stars as the docuseries focused on the Road to WrestleMania this year. The series is expected to return for a second season next year.

Triple H dropped a major Wrestlepalooza spoiler

During The Pat McAfee Show, the WWE CCO discussed the upcoming premium live event Wrestlepalooza. This will be WWE's first PLE to be broadcast on ESPN's DTC app.

Talking about the show, Triple H revealed that WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes will be at the PLE in Indianapolis on September 20.

Rhodes has been written off TV after Drew McIntyre attacked him a few weeks ago on SmackDown. This was done so that he could continue filming the live-action Street Fighter movie, where he stars as Guile.

However, fans might soon get to see the American Nightmare back in the ring after HHH's big reveal.

About the author

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
