Triple H is set to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year and this has led to considerable backlash from fans. With that said, it appears a former WWE writer thinks Triple H is partly to blame for the backlash.
Many fans feel that Triple H is being shown too much and don’t understand why he needs another Hall of Fame induction when he is already in as part of D-Generation X. Some believe other WWE stars convinced him to accept the honor and fans aren’t happy about Triple H getting another WWE Hall of Fame induction.
While speaking on The Wrestling Outlaws, Vince Russo said that Vince McMahon would never have allowed this to happen because he didn’t want extra recognition. Russo explained that if people tried to do the same thing with McMahon, he would have refused and told them to focus on the wrestlers instead. Russo argues that Triple H is still at fault for allowing others to influence his decision.
“When you say Triple H is not in the editing room and he is not saying put me in this, put me in that, and you’re saying you know the people under him are doing that, you know, maybe, to get over with him or whatever. But it’s so funny because then you would have thought they would have handled Vince McMahon the same way. But they never did because they knew Vince didn’t want that… Vince would look at that and say take me out of that, put one of the boys in my spot.”
Russo also said that Triple H appears too much in WWE shows and promotions, which makes some fans frustrated. He pointed out that Triple H is in many WWE ads, including for WrestleMania, while McMahon never put himself in the spotlight like that.
Russo also believes that if Triple H wasn’t featured so much in WWE’s marketing and big events, fans wouldn’t be as upset about him getting another Hall of Fame induction.
“Triple H is all over everything, all over everything. All over the WrestleMania promo. He is all over. Vince never did that. He never ever put himself all over everything. So I think the combination of the two, Chris, if Triple H was not in so many packages, you know, going out there in the beginning of WrestleMania if he didn’t put himself out there as much as he does, I don’t think people would have that much of a problem with it.”
On the other hand, The Undertaker has called out those who have criticized Triple H for getting another Hall of Fame induction. Regardless, The Game is getting inducted no matter what but Vince Russo simply wanted to make his opinion on the matter clear and that’s all that mattered to him.
