Triple H on fan criticism of the WWE product: “Nobody bats a thousand—I’m no different”
While speaking to Joe Tessitore ahead of WWE WrestleMania 42, Paul “Triple H” Levesque stated the following in response to fan criticism of the WWE product…
“It’s a funny thing when people say, you know, if you’re online or you hear fans talking and they’re like, ‘I didn’t like that.’
Yeah, I know. Believe me—I’m the first guy going, ‘That didn’t work. That wasn’t good. We screwed up there.’
Sometimes you’re putting things out there and you’re like, ‘Eh, this’ll be decent.’ It’s not going to be A++. It has to ebb and flow throughout the year.
There are times when you’re like, ‘This show will be good.’ It’s not going to be guns blazing. And then there are times when you know you’ve got to put your foot on the gas.
The trick is keeping everybody in that same mindset. We talked about thinking about tomorrow—because all the time people make suggestions like, ‘What if you did this?’ And it’s like, yeah, that’s amazing—it just doesn’t leave us anywhere to go.
So you have to balance what you do today that’s epic with what you get to tomorrow. It’s always a mix and a challenge to balance that out.
Nobody bats a thousand—I’m no different. But you try as best as possible to manage everybody to stay in the same ballpark.”
